Notes 03.23
Little bracelets with red and white woven threads twisted around each other make their appearance in Greece when March comes. ‘Marti’ bracelets are worn as a celebration of the beginning of spring! It is said that they will protect you from sunburns from the early spring sun. Some people hang them on trees at the first sight of swallows so that they may be used for their nests. March brings a collective feeling of excitement!
Calendar
As it is the official first month of spring, garden/balcony set ups will be underway! The list of things that need to be done in our backyard has become second nature to us. There is nothing more calming than sitting outside with the aroma of orange blossoms filling the air! Most favourite time of the year!
I’m thinking of adding a small vegetable garden this year. Someone told me that they planted cherry tomatoes in a pot and they were eating cherry tomatoes all summer long! I’m intrigued to find out how I’ll do!
Spring cleaning! I really want to go through every single space in our home and declutter and organise! It’s been a while and I’m mentally ready to take it on! That feeling once it’s done—like a weight lifted off the shoulders! What a game changer on the overall mood! So so ready for that!
Lately
Having a set daily routine has done wonders on my overall mental and physical health. Keeping in mind my intentions and my goals has made my days much more productive. Consistency has been key!
Paris and I are fasting for Lent so, for the next forty day, till Easter Sunday, we won’t be eating any meat or poultry. It isn’t the first time. I have been trying out more new recipes to change things up a bit. It’s been really interesting experimenting with new ingredients and cuisines! Gets my creative cooking juices flowing!
Book Notes | After watching the Crown, Harry & Meghan and the profound effect of my mom’s love for Princess Diana, I’m fascinated to learn more! So, it’s Princess Diana’s Story in the evening and Hold on to You Kids in the mornings. A parenting book unlike anything I’ve ever read. Such and interesting approach!
If you’re looking for new reads, I highly recommended books from authors Taylor Jenkins Reid and Kristin Hannah. My most favourite, Daisy Jones & The Six, is now a TV series! I cannot describe my excitement! Binge watching tonight first three episodes!
If your a booklover as myself, send me your book recommendations my way! Always looking for a good story!
Also….a few updates coming up on the blog so, stay tuned friends!
Wishing you all a great month!
