Nap outdoors

Jag och lilla M ar ute och gar varje dag, sa lange regnet inte vraker ner. Perfekt att fa lite frisk luft, motion och M sover som en prinessa i vagnen utomhus. Laste denna intressanta artikel om hur vi i Sverige later barnen sova utomhus trots minus grader (!) 

click here for the article "The babies who nap in sub-zero temperatures"

I take M out everyday, well as long as its not pouring down with rain. Its perfect to get some fresh air, work out, sunshine plus she sleeps like a princess outdoors. I read this interesting article that Swedes actually let their babies sleep in the winter outside and it does them go great!

Birthday girl

Jag fyllde ar for nagra dagar sedan. Det blev fin, mysig Italiensk middag med familjen. Massor av tarta, fina blommor och karlek.

I had my birthday a few days ago. Lovely Italian dinner with my family. And not only one but two yummy chocolate and fruit cakes! 

Sun, sun, sun

Fast dagen darpa var det stralade sol och +18 grader. Aten ar inte helt fel...

The next day, we got lots of sunshine and +18 degrees. That's what I love about Athens...

More storms

I fredags var det den varsta stormen i Aten sedan 1961. Det regnade, askade och haglade helt galet i flera timmar.

Read this article in Aftonbladet

Last Friday had the worst storm in Athens since 1961! It rained, had lots of thunder, lighting and hail.

The streets were flooded and all came to stand still.

Beautiful breakfast

Jag alskar en god, lang frukost, framforallt nar man dukar fram massor av goda marmelader, juice, farsk frukt och tillbehor. Jordgubbssasongen ar pa gang i Grekland, och man kan hitta riktigt fina jordgubbar i supermarketen.

I love big breakfasts. Tea, juice, fresh fruits, bread from the bakery, Greek yoghurt etc... Now the season of strawberries is on its way and you can get delicious sweet berries from the market.

Viva la Tapas

I helgen var vi pa Jamon Pintxos Bars, ett mysigt tapas stalle i Glyfada. De hade masor av olika sma ratter, som chorizo, tortillas och jamon. Hur gott som helst! 

This weekend we went to Jamon Pitxos Bar, a nice cozy tapas place in Glyfada. They have a range of little plates including cold ones like mixed olives, cheese or warm canapes, chorizo, tortillas, sangrias and of course delicious jamon! Buen provecho!

Pretty clouds

Det har varit lite svalare i Aten. Men klart och friskt. Man ser till och med Aegina och nagra sno-kladda berg langt borta (tror det masta vara pa Peloponnesus ?) fran Glyfada. 

It has been a little chilly this weekend. But the wind cleared up the atmosphere and we can see all the way to Aegina and some snowy mountains far away... I think they must be on Peloponnesus, because I don't know any mountains close by.

Baby baby

Ja det blir inte sa mycket bloggande med en liten 4 manaders tjej. Dagarna flyger ivag. Det ska matas, badas, lekas, mysas... och sen traffar vi vanner och hittar pa roliga saker.. och vips sa ar dagen slut!

My sweet heart 

Well, I don't blog so much these days. Time flies with a little four month year old baby. She eats, sleeps, takes a bath, nap, wants to play.. And we meet up with our friends and go out. 

Windy weekend

Igar blaste det galet mycket i Aten som skapade vackra, maffiga vagor. En hel del manniskor var ute och surfade. 

This weekend was super windy in Athens. The wind create huge waves and made the beach look wild. Lots of people were out surfing. Here photos from sunset at paralia Glyfada. 

The Margi

Alla fika var fulla eftersom det blaste sa mycket, sa det blev lunch pa mysiga the Margi i Vouliagmeni. Det gor en urgod club sandwich. Margi ar verkligen ett fint hotell men vackra mobler, levande ljus, mysiga mattor, oppen spis...

All the coffee shops were packed with people due to the windy weather. So we ended up at the Margi Hotel for a quick bite. The Margi is beautifully located in Vouliagmeni, the interoir design is gorgeous with rich carpets, flowers, candlelit tables....

Blue, blue, blue

Sadar nu var vi lite friskare. Idag var det toppen vader, sa jag motte upp nagra andra Glyfada mom och gick pa en lang power walk. Vi gick nere vid paralia Glyfada, langs trammen - det finns namligen riktiga trottoarer dar. 

So we are finally a bit better - and so is the weather. After todays yoga class, i met up with some other Glyfada mom and took a nice, long walk by the beach. Paralia Glyfada- and there are actually sidewalks ! making it easy to walk with strollers. 

Polarn O. Pyret

... har ju sakert Svergies finaste, mysigast barnklader. Dessa kom pa posten haromdagen. Jattefina kvalite, super softa och gosiga. 

...is probably the best Swedish brand for baby clothes. Nice, happy colours and great quality.

Ginger tea

Sa blev hela familjen forkylda. Litta skrutt mar redan prima, men vi andra hostar och nyser. Jag gjorde lite ginger the som tydligen ska hjalpa. Man skar nagra bitar ingefar och kokar det i 10 min - sen dricker man det varmt. Man kan blanda i lite kanel, citron eller honung for extra smak. 

So the whole family got a cold ! Little M is already fine, but the rest of us sneeze and cough... bu hu!
I made my special ginger tea - it works magic for colds and flues. All you do is cut a few pieces of ginger and let it boil for 10 min. The drink it! You can add lemon, cinnamon, vanilla, lime or honey for sweeter flavor. 

Stormy

Vad hande med det milda vintervaderet?! Igar och idag har det askat, regnat och haglat... 

What happened with the mild winter? Yesterday & today we have had thunderstorms, rain, lightning and hail...

Perfect pillows

Hur underbara ar inte dessa kuddar?!

How amazing are these pillows...

Sale! rebajas! εκπτωσεις!

Tva ganger pa ar , ar det rea i Aten. Fran den 15 jan - slutet av Feb ar det massor av fina reor. 

Twice a year, end of summer and min January you find great sales all over Athens. With the crises prices drop extra much. I got some nice big baby clothes for M to grow in - because omg she grows fast! She can barely wear all the nice things she got when she was born. 

Winter walks

Sa har harligt var det idag med barnvagnen, 18 grader och sol... Inte helt fel. 

Pictures from a lovely winter walk with M.

Out without M!

I lordags hade vi barnvakt och gick ut med nagra vanner utan lilla M. Det var supertrevligt och massor av nya stallen har oppnat i Glyfada. Vi at pa Soleto och sen blev det drink pa Holy Spirit. Fast efter ett tag var det mysigt att ga hem till min lilla darling M

We had a baby sitter this Saturday so we swopped formula for daiquiris and went out with some friends. Lots of new places opened in Glyfada. We ate at Soleto and had delicious cocktails at Holy Spirit. The bartenders are true mixologist and made amazing drinks. 

But...after a few hours it was even better to go home and hug our little sleeping baby... 

Souk

For nagon manad sedan oppanade Souk, ett libanesisk stalle i Glyfada. Det har riktigt god och vallagad mat. Mumsig hummus, tabbouleh salad och goda kycklingspett. 

Just what Glyfada was missing: A Lebanese restaurant ! A couple of months ago Souk opened its doors and serve super delicious Lebense cuisine. They are open 24 hrs per day. I liked their salad tabbouleh and yummy dips like hummus or baba ghanoush. They also have excellent chicken skewers and falafel made with ground chickpeas. Oooh i'm getting hungry just writing about it. Thank God they deliver home too...! شكرا

Mind your own business

Oftast ar folk gulliga och glada nar man ar ute med en liten bebis, men det finns en kategori som alltid maste ha en asikt. Haromdagen blev en kvinna rasade och tyckte jag borde stanna hemma och inte ga ut for det var molnligt och bara 12 grader. En annan dag sa borjade en kvinna skrika pa mig for att min dotter har pa sig for varma klader (!) Gud vad man blir trott pa framlingar som lagger sig i... 

Usually, people are very kind and happy when I am out with my baby. But there is a category of women who always have opinions , I have no idea how many times random strangers stop me to share their thoughts and give me 'advice'... Yesterday one lady started yelling and saying I couldn't go for a walk because it was cloudy. Another day one women was very worried that I dressed my baby too warm. Please why can't people mind their own business?! 

Baby face

Min lilla dam ar bara tre manader drygt MEN har redan en uppsjo av produkter. Hon har till och med natt och dagkram... men sen ar hennes hy sadar perfekt babylen ocksa. Man vill bara pussa pa henne! 

M's stuff

My stuff

My daughter is just three months but already has load of beauty products. She even has night and day cream... But then again, her skin is super soft and perfect- i just wanna kiss her all the time - my little cutie pie.
