51/52

December 23, 2013

It’s week 51 and I’m so in love with with this project! We are spending our holidays in Italy, enjoying family time and eating ice creams all day. I’m posting two photos this week, because I just couldn’t decide which one to use.

This week you:

spent hours with your grandparents and aunties;
learned everybody’s name, including the cat;
ate gelato with gusto (finally!);
Loved the feeling of sand on your toes; a very different story from this past summer…;
fell asleep in front of the TV for your afternoon nap;
went to bed way past your bedtime hour;
screamed like hell when we went to see the paediatrician;
refused to take your medicine and learned how keep your mouth completely shut.

And this week I’m loving the portraits of the Little Red Vikings; and Mila’s face eating a bowl of chocolate is just my favourite.

This view

December 20, 2013

We have been waking up to this view for the past two days. It is so familiar to me and yet I’m amazed every time I look at it.

We are loving the sunshine and the long walks along the seaside. The peacefulness of the empty beaches and the magnificent colours of the sunset. Italy if we could trust you, we would move back straight away. For now we will just enjoy our holiday time here.

Pick of the Month: December // Merry & Red

December 18, 2013

1. Knitted Tunic Dress from Purplish London/ 2. Macbook Pro 13” Case from MadeByJulie on Etsy / 3. Box Flannel Shirt from VANS on Two Seasons/ 4. Chilli Pepper Mohican Shoes from VANS on Two Seasons/ 5. Colour-a-Months 2014 Daily Diary from Moleskine on Amazon.co.uk / 6. Red Chunky Waffle Capped Gloves from Accessorize/ 7. Arpillera cardigan from Peruvian kids/8. Chicken shirt from White Stuff/ 9. Racoon Pyjamas from Mothercare

It’s almost Christmas, time for presents and some rewarding shopping. We (read I) have actually bought all of the above, in time for our upcoming trip to Italy. Lots of red for this year’s holiday season! The red shoes might be a bit too much, but they are my favourite and add some colour into my plain daily life. My little one has recently developed an obsession for a green Peruvian cardigan (I’m not joking; she won’t even take it off for the night!). And so I bought her another one in orange, but should have really picked a red one to stay in tune with the season. And can you see the Moleskine set in the middle? That is my Christmas present, kindly offered by my other half…following several reminders. Feeling already festive and jolly for the holidays.

It’s week 50 and I’m thinking of doing this all over again next year! This week went by quickly, getting ready for our Christmas holiday, still opening birthday presents and meeting little friends.

This is you eating pancakes on the floor half naked on saturday morning

This week you:

Ate a lot.
Well behaved most of the time.
Undressed youreself many times during the day and loved going around half naked.
Played dressing up with papa’s underwear (it was clean in case you are wondering!).
Kept talking and talking and talking!
Brought E’s photo to nursery and didn’t want to wear nothing but your favourite jumper.
Enjoyed opening more birthday presents.
Loved playing in your friend’s room. I guess it’s time for you to have your own room!
