║today my way║



Mama in me couldn't help choosing other topic to write about then the one constantly sitting on my mind. Yep, my princess and beginner in the art of photography as appearing above. About how funny she is while discussing important matters and gesticulating vigorously, dancing to any melody shaking her hips to keep up with the tune, repeating each English word tirelessly even if pronunciation makes us both laugh like there's no tomorrow. On this dreary winter day pushing hours quicker than I can bear, I want to collect as many dear moments as possible and fill in my pockets, store them in my handbag to take out when having a lunch break at work to perk up the room. Today more like any day she's hugged tighter, running away half-crying half-excited knowing we'll only have this evening for ourselves until late hours tomorrow. 

So with the last full stop I'm heading to catch her running before bath time and tucking her into bed she'll tell me what she'll be doing tomorrow. And I'll hold on to it for the rest of Saturday.

We went water crazy last evening and there were many factors included to make our family quality time as precious as it could be. It wouldn't have been possible without our sparkle, an apple of our eyes that made us laugh, run back and forth out of the bathroom, play hide-and-seek under the towel. It's never as much fun as when there is the three of us frolicking without the care of the world and who will be tidying up the space later. So the best time is always in the evening when daddy comes from work and hugs his girls juggling affection and carefree play (or not juggling at all and so the crazy evening begins!). Not forgetting new lens perpetuating digitally the impractical yet best ever use of our shower room - Canon camera capturing the spirits. 

P.S. Promised make-up post will be re-scheduled for later due to some bathroom re-arranging and instruction manual reading ;) Have a fabulous day early birds and late owls! x

When I'm on a mission to find some more cute little pieces (a girl of any age can never have too many clothes... the truth is she's growing so quickly I couldn't blame it on my washing machine's shrinking mechanism) I try to stick to two leading colours and secretly match it with what I'd be wearing alongside. A little mummy's treat. As you might already know - yellow is big in our house this season so I just couldn't not tuck away more awesomeness of that shade. I'm itching to do a very sunny post when the weather allows to see it all come together. Look carefully for any brightly dressed people walking in your neighbourhood. That's just might be us (or any other weirdos). 

Stay happy and come back for a make-up post tomorrow. Covering eye-bags and little imperfections has been mastered since the first sleepless night around here!

I love Mondays. Week after week for the past three and a half years. 
I can sense eyes rolling and heads nodding. Who would like Mondays when everything that's fabulous about day to day happenings is materializing late on Fridays, stretches through Saturday and lounges blissfully on Sunday? Not a single soul (me included back in past decade). But it turned out on this side of the screen that week is too good to me showering us with more things to do and enjoy than we have energy for. Mondays are like new inventions, my Fridays, first days of a five day mini vacation. 
Happy Monday, my dear readers! Who is rushing to work - have a fabulous day in between seemingly endless tasks, who is getting on a school run - have the traffic under wraps. Those of you who are spending Monday according to your own imagination - balance it with countless laughs, awesome guests and accurate tummy fillers. What are you going to do today? Post it in comments and I secretly won't mind if it's way fabulous than what we have in mind. 

I've been lusting after some colour lately (and the lust is growing daily!) which finally made appearance as a mustard yellow handbag mentioned here. Welcome spring!

This is just a quick note to my lovely readers before midnight rolls around and I barely open my eyes in the morning hurrying to work. I'm so happy for every visitor and passer by who decides to get excited over our crazy-happy-normal(ish) days at the seaside. If anything goes according to plan hopefully I'll be hosting my first giveaway to thank you all. In the meantime I'll explain the Photoshopped picture supporting today's post - it's forth day of my blogging challenge and it marks 'Three important people in my life' - in no particular order as I'd give my life for all of them - my baby girl, my hubby and my little (something above 5'11 in height to be exact) brother.

I've never really opened up about how much I love my little girl as I thought it was too intimate, private and so beautiful I wanted to keep it for myself. I love our lazy mornings when we cuddle in bed, watch videos on my phone, come up with ideas what to do with the day waking up. I love how she's growing up, changing - chubby cheeks have transformed into pretty slender girlie face, eyes haven't stopped being curious and words fly out of little lips quicker than snowballs on a white day. I'm so grateful she's the girl I get to throw my arms around each day. 

Damian has been my best friend, my rock, my lover for the past decade. I've spoken about our relationship here and a bit throughout the blog (go and find it in archives :). I await every shade marking days spent together with excitement and believe me, the darker... the funnier. 

And my heart can barely handle my brother coming to visit us in a short time. This.is.just.awesome. He's the number one person I feel so natural with and maybe sometimes I act like that big sister with all that unnecessary reminding and sermonizing but I feel I have to protect my bro somehow. Be there for him. (I promise to tone down when you come over). 

Happy weekend, friends! x

Dress: Dorothy Perkins, Biker jacket: Aviatrix Leather, Scarf: Atmosphere, Leather boots: Barratts

Rain not ready, slightly on a lighter side considering the fabric of my dress to town we went. Or drove, thanks to my motorized friend. I was more than just a little bit excited to take my devil red number for a walk before pairing it with black pieces to let it shine in the winter sun although I wasn't sure what to expect after 2.00 in the afternoon with the clouds suspiciously marking our every step. After exhausting my eyes and fingertips through rows of racks and snapping a few essentials we headed home before taking some pictures in an abandoned car park due to late hour and cold wind making appearance out of nowhere. What I like about outfit posts that I'm becoming friendly with is the chance to see it as a finished project as opposed to what it has looked like in my head. I should eventually have it under control ;)

And here is me going strong with my blogging challenge: 'Your favourite quote and why you like it'. I'm naturally made of quotes and wise sentences so choosing only one is like choosing yellow over red. Impossible for me! I managed to favour two - one being my all time living by motto while the other spoke to me almost without words just recently. Here they are: 'You only live once and if you've lived according to your belifs, once is absolutely enough.' And most of all dedicating my life to the one below.

It's a tough life being photographer - from all the pictures that make their way through cable onto the computer only a couple eventually get chosen for the public view. Which one holds the light perfectly and which angle describes the landscape without too much exposure? And most importantly, which one of the lot tells that special story at the very first sight? Continuing my blogging challenge I had a little trouble with choosing the views of 'A place on Earth that is special to me' as this is not a place from the first page of a travel magazine. Pea sized, sleepy village where I spent the best time of my life... my childhood. I grew up in the south of Poland, countryside of river banks, woods, gooseberry fields, apple/walnut trees I used to climb, animals of every sort and sound (with the most incredible pet names they are). Together with my little brother and his friends (oh yes, my childhood was plentiful in testosterone) we were invincible in runs, ball games and unripe (hard as stone) plum fights around neighbouring fields and orchards. At the end of the day we were always in great need of a good wash but happier than any child with more toys or shinier bike. 

There were times when I visited Poland and was unable to spend a day in my childhood village due to severe weather conditions or not having enough time to wander on the fields falling asleep well after the sunset. They were the saddest moments and from then on each year I make space in our family calendar for visiting that railroad village to which my heart belongs.  

P.S. Can you feel the ground wobble? It's me dancing vigorously at the news of my brother visiting us soon. Can't wait to show him my favourite spots and eateries. Spring is definitely coming earlier this year!
