It's one of those days when the sky is cloudless and the air is fresh... just a light breeze! So we ventured outdoors, in the countryside, where else? Nikol is enjoying the sensory experience.

Finally, I am settling in after the most life-changing experience ever (my husband would say that I'm being dramatically drastic as always... but that's how it truly felt). These past two months were memorable due to the arrival of our baby boy, Nikol (we just had to choose a Maltese name... of course!). He was … Continue reading Back on track!
