Paris delights

My brother brought me home a souvenir from Paris and they are my favorite kind.

My funny Valentine

Now I know Valentines day isn't everyones cup of tea. Many people think that it is way too commercialised.It is also worth mentioning that it's kind of sad that some people dedicate just one day of the year for TLC towards their special someone. I tend to agree, but I must admit that I would get rather dissapointed if my hubby didn't show me any attention on Valentines day. That happened once a long time ago and I suppose from that day, hubby and I have been celebrating Valentines day every year. May I also add for the pro Valentines day side that it is actually difficult to set aside some time for TLC once you have a kid. Not that we never do, but at least once every year, people really make the effort.

We don't get carried away, but we usually dine out and give eachother a little something something.
This year however with the little one, dining out was out of the question. We decided we would stay in and make a nice meal. Luckily my funny Valentine, the little one, didn't make a fuss at bedtime and slept once I lay his head on the pillow. The evening was really wonderful and relaxing. Good food and great company.

Light as a feather

On my first official Mother's day I was surprised with this gift by hubby and the little one.

Only the best...

I received a late Christmas present the other day from my hubby and the little one....

I think I may have been a good girl this year..

...Because I received so many presents from my lovelies. Here are a few of them:

An animal printed scarf from the Mister

A second scarf from the Mister

Lovely candles. I love love candles so these were a big hit.

I also got a gift card to a spa treatment which I'm really looking forward too and plus a little something something that I'll blog about later. I really do feel lucky and a tad bit guilty about receiving so many gifts. I do think we spend too much money on Christmas presents, but every year is the same. I try, but I never seem to think about the price when I'm doing my Christmas shopping. Perhaps next year.

All i want for christmas..

I'm pretty sure I've been good this year...

23.01.10 - Light up my life

It's been an exhausting week for me. Been back and forward to the doctor's for check ups and so on. Who would have thought that so many discomforts and pains could derive from pregnancy. Well I suppose I'm one of those unlucky ones.

Already by Wednesday, I was hysterical, nearly crying my eyes out. But thanks to some really amazing people in my life, I made it through. I'm so blessed to have great friends and a wonderful husband who will put up with me even when I'm at my lowest. Oh and thanks for the talks and the lovely gifts.

Lovely treats from Sara and Michael

Beautiful flowers from Katerina.
