Insta-bits of little life

^^ why not play while at ikea? "tika-tika-tika" is the newest entertainment. and those little fingers are vicious! ^^

^^ i was of the opinion that she needed a nap. she, on the other hand, obviously, disagreed...^^ 

^^ ... but i can't complain, because THIS happens regularly at about 5 after i put her in to go out. it's her ultimate favorite napping place ^^

^^ because, you know, you need ALL your energy to complain when you are not allowed to have the rainbow's worth of candy every day ^^

^^ the level of how busy the day was can be safely judged by the state of pigtails - the busier is my day, the less chance there is they will "make it" til the end ( what is it with babies and pulling everything off?! any tips? ) ^^

^^ set and ready 1/2 before us for blessed Pascha on an Orthodox Easter morning. this celebration always fills my heart with light and brings the warmest memories. i hope they are creating theirs too ^^

^^ rule of thumb for a "stroller dweller" : when YOU get out, your bunny (kitty/doggy) friend MUST get in. no go without it ^^

^^ the tulip festival was breathtaking this year ( and that's the only picture we were allowed to take) i only with there was an app to attach an amazing aroma to this picture ^^

^^ from manageable to nothing closes in one week - check #bumpupdate ^^

^^ being little is tiring ^^

COLORFUL MATH with TRIPP TRAPP

 

School is almost over, the last few weeks are always filled with fun, so how about some colorful math today?

 Stokke has recently came out with great new colors of their iconic Tripp Trapp and , considering this great tool to build your own version ( as your needs, wants and desires dictate), I spent the last hour imagining and creating different looks. It's fun - give it a try!

A fair warning : this may lead you to exploring the design possibilities that can be created with Tripp Trapp. Here are some of my favorites, what about yours?

ps: you can read my thoughts on tripp trapp here and explore more features here.

please, note, this is not a sponsored post. i personally use and love these chairs, and honestly - how can you not?

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TRIPP TRAPP COLOR COMBINATION?

LES FEMME MODA: the BELLY style: staying neutral.

 top : very old, cute one here, here, somewhat similar here. jeans: citizens of humanity ( here and here), jacket: bebe, old ( similar ). bag hobo ( also seen here and here) . shoes: similar also love these,  these and these. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day and a great weekend. 

Ours was simple and relaxing (for me). I got showered with kisses, homemade cards and bracelets, and I couldn't but tear up every time I got another kiss or hug ( those pregnancy hormones...) 

I only wish my own mother was not so far away, or it hasn't been so long since we've seen each other. Some skyping always helps, although sometimes - like yesterday - I sincerely wish that the technology made it possible to touch and hug. Those of you that live close to your family, give an extra hug to your loved ones. It is only now when I live so far that I understand why my grandmother ( who lived far from her family ) has always repeated that "the biggest blessing is to be close to your family".

But on the other hand, being away from the family makes for a tight-knit family within our little circle, so there is always something good in every situation, right? 

WISHING YOU A GREAT MONDAY!
