Poor baby

I went for coffee the other day. My sweet little girl who is always happy to go out was super upset. Crying and crying... Tears with no end.. Her little face was getting red from all the crying. 

I tried everything; the stroller for her to nap, water, the playground, diaper change, walking, some food...but nothing worked! So we packed up and headed home. 

While I tried putting my screaming daugther in the car , a lady came up to me and explained that of course someone had given her the 'bad' eye (also known as the evil eye) and she said some sort of prayer (!) to revoke it.

I don't know if it worked or M feel asleep out of pure exhaustion, but never the less, she had a looong nap and was back to happy and normal again. 
 

Was it the bad eye...?

Sushi, sunset and sake

My parents were visiting and we went to Nobu, the Japanese restaurant . In Greece there is one in Athens and one in Myconos. The food is amazing and so are their fresh and creative cocktails,  And not to forget the stunning environment, located on a cliff on top of the sea with gorgeous views... A recipe for a nice evening...

Juicy juices

A friend of mine started a juice challenge- the ideas is to simply add one freshly squeezed juice a day for 10 days and see/feel the real difference it can make to our health. It is not a diet or anything, just a way to get more fruits and veggies into your daily meals, and there is need to change what you eat - good for me- because there is no way I can follow diets etc. The benefits of juices are numerous: improved energy and clarity, feeling better, looking better and an overall sense of wellbeing.

And to keep motivated we have group on Facebook where we post pictures, ideas and comments. i am on day 5 so far. Let me share some of my juicy juices here: 

This is made of kiwi, apple, orange

Carrot, apple, orange, celery

Pomegranate. orange, carrot

Date Night in Kolonaki

The other Saturday me and my husband called our trusted babysitter and went for a lovely night out in Athens. We started with dinner and drinks at Paragon, a new, Italian place. Then we went to summer cinema and saw the Bling Ring by Sofia Coppola. Summer cinema is so nice, you sit outside and watch movies under the stars. And there is a bar so you can have drinks, snacks and even pizza or souvlaki if you are in the mood. 

                         

                         

                           

By The pool

The other day me and another mom packed our beach bags and took our little babies to the pool for some swimming. The main holidays are over and we had the pool almost to ourselves . The kids looved playing and splashing around. Plenty of toys and snack kept them busy. After some serious play in the sun they feel asleep and us mothers enjoyed a frappe and catching up . Going

Our with a super active 10 month year old is complicated. Yes they scream, want to walk/run around and in every single  direction, eat anything they see including the flip flops, flowers, car keys.., so you gotta be super alert but it is so nice To go out. Athens is blessed with sun shine and I really dont like staying in, i also find that people are very friendly when you have a baby. Many offer to help,and some even play a little.
