Every day life

What do you do all day with a six month you old baby? well, we wake up around 6-7 (new pattern for the last week). Fresh diaper, bottle of milk and cuddle a bit and then... Go back to bed! For a lovely 1-2 hour snooze. Then around 9 we wake up for good and start the day. Every day we play, read books, listen to music, cook, take a walk with the stroller,eat two meals (fruit around 11 and veggies around 14). We also meet up friends for coffees and lunches i glyfada, athens or golden hall. we also meet other mommies. We go to baby yoga, International mommy-baby group and Swedish mommy-baby group.. It's great to get out of the house and meet other babies and moms.





Surfers paradise?

Det har inte blivit mycket bloggande på sista tiden. Dagarna är fyllada av promenader, fika, shopping, jobb och olika mammagrupps träffar (mer om det i ett annat inlägg). Idag blåste det rejält och beachen i Vouliagmeni var fylld av surfare. De låg på sina surf-brädor och guppade och väntade på den perfekta vågen. Själv testade jag och en kompis att surfa i Varkiza. Det var jättekul! Vill absolut gör det igen. Fast vi kunde inte svänga så vi höll på att hamna i Sunio- som tur var körde instruktören runt i en båt och plockade upp elever som blåst iväg...

Clean Monday

The official 40 day lent kicked off yesterday. So bye bye meat and souvlaki and hello kalamari! No honestly I don't think we will follow it, but just try to cut down on meat and eat more vegetables and fruits. Many restaurants served set menus like this yummy one with squid, octopus, cod, shrimps, marinated little gavros fish and zucchini balls. Super delicious!



Waffle House

The weather was great- so we went to lovely Waffle House in vouliagemeni and enjoyed this years first ice cream out in the sun.

Chloe

En ny favorit är denna ljuvliga doft från chloe. À new favorite is this lovely perfume from Chloe, romantic, fresh and ultra feminine. I love the name Chloe, by the way. The name comes from the Greek word χολή , which means green / greenery . It is also one of the many names for Greek goddess of harvest Demeter.



Baby M

Lilla M är ute och kryper- eller försöker i alla fall- hon kryper nämligen baklänges! Tydligen är armarna starkare än benen just nu. Det ser jättesött! Här är M med älsklingskanien. Den somriga klänningen kommer i från Lindex Newbie kollektion.

Mikrolimanon, Pireaus

Efter shopping i glyfada bestämde vi oss för att luncha i charmiga mikro limanon i Pireaus. Här ligger tavernorna vägg i vägg längs vattenkanten.






After some shopping in Glyfada, we decided to drive down to Mikrolimanon in Pireaus. The tavernas are one next to another, and you sit right on the water front. They have also decorated them with colorful things for the carnival which is taking place this week.

Chinese food

Grekiska mat i all ara- men ibland blir jag super sugen pa kina mat. Min absoluta favorit ar Sumo Tasty i Voula. Trots att den ser lite - eller valdigt - skum ut sa lagar det riktigt god kina mat. Forst och framst sa ar de kineser som arbetar dar, jag som kan mandarin bestallar alltid pa kineiska. Dears Singapore fried noodles ar bast! Xie xie! MEN - undvik sushi !



Greek food is great- but sometimes I crave Chinese take out. Right now my favorite place is Sumo Tasty in Voula. It may not look the best from the outside, but the food is delicious. Since I speak Mandarin, I always order in Chinese. Their seamed dumplings and Singapore fried noodles are top!
ΠΟΣΕΙΔΩΝΟΣ, Voula

Swap

På dagens promenad med fina M - som fyller fem månader just idag- tiden går så fort när man har en liten bebis- såg vi affären Swap. Det är en vintage butik som säljer skor, väskor och kläder av alla kända italienska, franska märken. Mycket gucci, pucci och prada... allt second hand... Har inte sett det tidigare i Aten. Utomlands är det ju jättestort men inte här.








Today I saw a vintage shop in Glyfada. They sell all your famous bags, shoes, belts, clothes -slightly used- for a fraction of the retail price. You get Gucci, Pucci, Prada, LV and many many more. Abroad - second hand or vintage is quite popular - but I haven't seen much of it in Greece- yet. Maybe with the crisis we will see more...
