MORE PIZZA, LESS EVERYTHING ELSE


















































The word of today is... tonsillitis. Where did it come from, how did it make it? Not a slightest idea but the experience is beyond measure. But in my opinion you'd rather read about pizza, definitely. Pizza is actually a rare occasion on our table, but then again who needs an explanation for having one? Made by your own floury fingers and designed to the last olive? Nadia was celebrating her friend's birthday by being invited to pizza making class. How fun. How people find out about those things? There are so many going on around I might start searching ideas for October already. But the pizza... As I wasn't present those yummy pictures make me kind of excited, possibly too excited seeing Nadia devouring a slice of her own creation. Four cherry tomatoes, four slices of ham, five strings of pepper and one slice of mushroom seems to be the lucky formula. It was good, said Damian finishing it. I can only dream.   

As for my tonsillitis, it knocked me out for a whole week. Wasn't approached just right as my doctor thought I wouldn't need any antibiotic so left me only with a mouthwash. Holy ferret! But somehow or another it had to be treated, I have only one life and that life is meant to be lived so I was back for my dose of pills. I got them, yeah, why not, my tonsils were already inflamed. I'll spare you the drama and say my diet is slowly getting back to solids but not sour just yet (no apple, orange, anything that has flavour too). I really have realistic vision for my tongue to be able to appreciate my efforts and win the battle.
I hope you had more exciting week, friends! x

Nadia's choice of ingredients is possibly my favourite so far. Only more olives pops into my head.
MORE PIZZA, LESS EVERYTHING ELSE
She's a unicorn at the moment and sometimes Rapunzel, depends on the amount of the amazingness required. And dresses herself without a hint from me, walking into the living room with that triumphant smile on her face: Look mummy, I've just taken this top out from underneath them all. So worth it!

PERFECTION




















I've always valued the importance of sunshine and its direct impact on my life. When it takes the leading role nothing will feel more relaxed than kicking shoes off and let my toes taste the salt in the water. Those pictures make me feel really happy so excuse us for now, the beach is still high in demand. x

^^ These outfits didn't happen on accident, we take our patterns seriously ;) Also a dab of pink on little eyelids is sometimes necessary to the system. ^^

STARTING FROM SCRATCH AT EVERY CHANCE WE GET


















































This title says a lot about our attitude towards direction the wind blows - we've started getting used to to going out without much on, having our hair whipped around our faces and our lungs exhausted. Every spring our bodies are starting from scratch taking more in until reaching a pleasant balance in loving everything about warm weather again. The air is feeling different, we have more energy than you'd suspect so even still chilly afternoons at the playground win out. Those after meal get togethers are going to happen more often so I've already started looking for fabrics that stand up to dirt and are stretchy and comfortable enough to win every race however it's not terribly realistic to Nadia's life so she adjusts my ideas a lot. Skirt, sparkly ballet pumps, hair left loose is how we go these days. Whatever is found in four year old's closet is more than versatile in her eyes. 

As always we're not really bothered to plan ahead of time. Having a basic understanding of what the weather could be like is what keeps us sane around this latitude. Warm days attract people to all places imaginable so we're going out often. Twice a day is not too often. We take time to explore, make friends or invite ours, we are prepared to travel to find what we're looking for. And we always find it, fun as they say hides itself to be found easily. Have a beautiful day, friends. x

^^ Funny faces with my nephew and you notice how the big age gap adjusts itself. Also, no hat! (preparing my head for new routines) ^^

^^ In this weird in-between seasons time we still adore a little dress up. And that mouse hat is one of those things Nadia can't bear to be without. But there are a few key pieces she ensured I'd put on her wishing list for the summer so I guess something amazing will be going on at all times. ^^
IN PICTURES
^^ That's how our spring days will look like. Minus the hat, and the fur. And possibly only more chocolate happening. ^^
IN PICTURES
^^ This profession is non-negotiable. Especially that it encourages pink. ^^
IN PICTURES
^^ Nobody can argue with too many ice creams. We've waited too long. And we will not let go of for like forever. ^^
IN PICTURES
^^ To infuse more cuteness to an otherwise ordinary living room Nadia is beyond competition. Are we concerned it might be a new trend? Yes, that's why we only tell you guys. ^^
IN PICTURES
^^ Simple, playful but why exactly does it work? Lively rhythm of colours - never have one, always have more. Those toes are pretty darn proud of themselves, I can see that. ^^
IN PICTURES
^^ Ridiculously awesome moment - every morning to be exact. ^^
IN PICTURES
^^ Summer made easy when you know how. ^^

IN PICTURES
^^ A trip to town and what a compilation of finds! Note that it was a transitional shopping trip for items to serve us now and for next couple of weeks. ^^
IN PICTURES
^^ This winter I am amazed I recognized the innocence of hats. The practicality. The graduation towards a vision of a particular day. Hair washed or not, share the invention, spread the excitement. It’s not really that different from Nadia's knee-high socks we’ve never heard of but can’t live without either. Keep asking, I’ll produce more stories of how this winter was so generous to us. After discovering turtlenecks last year and leggings past spring we’re curious what’s in store once May is over. ^^
IN PICTURES
^^ I'm telling you this secretly - evenings are the coziest but mornings are the sweetest. And it's not changing in the upcoming months. ^^
IN PICTURES
^^ I thought it would take us a couple of weeks to start shedding layers of clothing. Nope, the sun is here, the changes it has in mind have started taking place and I will never critically look at the sky again. But I cannot be sure. ^^

ONE COLD DAY AT A TIME
ONE COLD DAY AT A TIME

















































Each time I upload pictures to the computer I can see a hat, scarf, fluffy hood. How many miles are we from North Pole? It's usually harmless to stay bundled up until end of February but settling with the thought beyond that point is less than thrilling. And those colours confuse us terribly because really aren't we in season already? How soothing is that? Then March came along and been keeping things interesting in a good old fashioned way varying the features. We can handle most of them, just take a look at the gif at the bottom - favourite image of ever, right? Have a mild in temperature day! x

NOT THE ONES FOR SITTING STILL
NOT THE ONES FOR SITTING STILL























Say you've lost count of the number of Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs eaten. More interestingly you've lost count of the number of toys self-assembled between sugary bites and instead of parting with them the conventional way, you're looking for ideas that might just give them a little more room to shine. We're talking animal toys needing home. It seemed like fantastic challenge to make something out of scraps of paper, buttons and lots of paint. Abundance of green with the lake in the forefront. Even Shrek would approve. We used pine cones as pine trees and pebbles as mountains, sticks and leaves and it looked just like we wanted it to. I love the moment when something bland and unfriendly plain turns into things that are recognizable. Creating surely is one of the raddest occupations.

THIRTY SOMETHING'S THOUGHTS ON PARTYING





Going out is fun and addictive, I don't think you ever really stop. So here's my situation. Before going out the last thing your best-going-out pants have on their stretchy mind is to eat. Even if you are going to have a small portion. Eaten in a jiffy. Because chips from down the road will speed up the getting ready process but really how many is enough? On a big night... I’d say it’s different for each design. You’ll always eat with confidence, denim or not, textural or safe, most especially if you’re not into collecting phone numbers. Everything will be forgiven after midnight. 

Dress on a night out always spoke to me loud. They feel feminine, catch all the dizzy eyes, sometimes they’re just all that you need on. Trousers on the other hand... Could they happen and work? Even if my inner sex bomb protested, the outside conditions were saying otherwise. It’s freezing and I’m working the next day so no, I don’t really fancy coming down with something already fought two weeks ago. So denim jeans and long-sleeved chiffon top were put together. And it felt right. My new very favourite outfit was painlessly conceived. But that’s not the end of your favourite story. I don’t really specialize in moves on the dancefloor without frilly fabric dancing with me. What one does with hands, how one handles that nothing blows up? The thought was terribly unsatisfying. Until I realized you basically do it the same. If you want to. Move is a move, hip shake still a cute option to get everyone talking, no point feeling less special living the dream in pants. I’ll keep it in mind next time I make such dramatic choice.  

When you hear ‘Black and white’ by Michael Jackson in the club you thank your mum and dad for getting together just so you always recognize this song. Way cooler when you’re mostly surrounded by folk half your age available for a spin. What more could you need? And it’s not even three in the morning. Also a bit of Elvis will never let you down. 

Is it just me or it is a classic move to try fellow dancer’s hat on for extra bit of a situation? I’ll let you not to answer. Cause it might be just me. Or the Elvis. Or both.  

So you go partying. And forget the door key. And this time you’re not going wild as you would after grocery shopping. Nostalgic, that’s how it feels. Cause this is the feeling we all know and recognize. Pause for a minute and start texting and calling. Banging helps too. x

FOR THOSE SEEKING GLAMOUR TREATMENT

FOR THOSE SEEKING GLAMOUR TREATMENT



Can I wear it just now? Pair it with the rest of fifty shades of grey in my closet (with occasional citrus hue and friendly pastel)? Weather forecast will not mind, in fact it slowly gives me permission to live in this pretty dainty accessory practically alongside anything I already own. Those of you who know me well (like know me inside and a bit out) will understand why Fossil Ladies Georgia watch is an enormous bag of win - it will go with almost every piece on my hangers, the genius design confuses the senses shouting masculine on the front but whispers feminine on the back of wrist (pretty adjustable chain bracelet unfortunately not seen on the picture). I never felt so sure about something so small and delicate but I guess my personal motto adjusts well to what dominates this spring. By far the easiest (and possibly cheapest as I could win this) way to incorporate some power accessory that will never get neglected. So something tells me to keep raiding my closet. I can see it with neutrals and brights, can you? x
