Very Small Feet

Did you know that there is everyone thinks they are experts? Well yeah we all seen these so called friends offering an advice on any subject...  But did you know how much pressure there is from the society on parents? And the judgment. So freaking much! I am also guilty of that, I am working on that though.  However this isn't a post about this. This is a post about me freaking out about my spirited toddler who woke up today before 5am.    Edgar is now 2 and 8 months old. He is a happy, active boy, with a very strong personality...  We are the only people around with a kid. I speak Russian to him, when I don't forget...  So Egg interacts better with adults and really not fussed on other kids. And he doesn't talk. He finds his way to get stuff he wants directing us and we can understand him. It would be a nightmare if we didn't.  Oh and I don't work and hubby works all the time to support us. Basically with him being a chef and it is very difficult to f...

I think I always had plants in my life...  in the summer our balcony was like a little jungle back home. It was the only place that got sun all day long.  So it wasn't a new scandi trend that I am into.  However the love for plants didn't mean that I can pot, prune and put them in the right place... but it all has changed. Thanks to hubby dearest who is also rather greenfingered himself, he showed me how to plant, repot and what happens when he looses interest and forgets to water things...  He doesn't water when I tend to overwater... no middle ground here. Oh and little one loves to water too.   We got a new succulent friend while food shopping yesterday.  But luckily I have started to google and read on the plant subject so my green babies will thrive.  I got to say our windowsill is super pretty  I also learnt how to propagate some plants. It's actually easy and really satisfying. And then I give new plant babies away. With warmer weather our ...

I love clothes and fashion... I love stuff and things makes me happy. I used to have so many shoes.... and some of them I haven't even worn before... and ever.  I still have few shoes that I can't wear anymore since I had my son. My feet changed, just as much as my body did. I am still tiny size 2,5 to 3 (35-36 European) but now I also have wide feet.    Yeap my feet got fat! And some of my old shoes are no good anymore. Damn! So I still fit into my wedding shoes? Will have to check this later.  But as I got older I am trying to be more mindful of things I own. Sadly I would still get my things at cheap highstreet chains but I am getting less. I do not need tons of dresses and tees...  I came to realise that I wear only certain things. If before I would wear dressed and would never wear shorts, now I mainly wear shorts, jeans and tees ... best gear to chase the toddler around. Now I am more conscious about my stuff to go with one another rather j...

Last few weeks I have had adventures in trying to get a job in a very nice shop... in order not to offend and perhaps general witchines (with a B) I shall not say what shop it is. But if you are friends on Facebook you know.  So these guys had a notice outside their shop about the "recruitment" event. Well I thought you don't know unless you try.      Well it was something I definitely haven't done before and something very different.  There was a massgive amount of people, think must have been about 80-100 of us turned up. And I was the minority, everyone seemed to be young and fresh, and born in 90s or even 00s. Strange feeling of not belonging came over me, like I am old and uncool. Husband texted saying that I am actually vintage....  I was almost the last person to get a one to one interview that lasted like 5minutes and been offered the trial shift.  This got me very excited. I didn't think about it much. But when I got there and was let loose on...

The easiest thing for me to do is to run away to the cinema. I love it. I have an unlimited card, I pay monthly fee and go to the cinema as much as I want. Even if it is too see the same film, yeah thinking about Rogue One. Gosh I loved that one so much! But somehow lately I have managed to see mainly, British films. And these films couldn't be more different.  First one I saw was Free Fire.   Oh my how different the story is... and it appears that everyone shoot like a storm trooper...badly. Basically a story about the shoot out and how things can escalate very quickly. This film is also very funny. Like super funny. Shame it wasn't in the cinema for too long.  Another film that was in the cinema just for a week is City Of Tiny Lights   This film is actually adoptation of Patrick Neate's novel with the same title. Sort of a detective story, and a book I think I would rather enjoy... but my reading is mainly consists of Julia Donaldson and other wonderful kiddie writ...
