Sandy Toes and Sweet Dreams

As the sun starts to make its grand entrance and the temperatures rise in Cyprus (25 degrees yesterday,) we welcomed a family beach season with open arms!

Our first swim of the season was pure bliss, filled with laughter, splashes, and sandy toes. Had to vacuum and wash the dog afterwards though, so not all bliss. Lol.

After an afternoon soaking up the sun and building sandcastles, we headed home for a well-deserved treat: homemade burgers. 🏖🍔 our kid’s fave. My husband cooks them on the bbq.

One thing I've noticed about our beach adventures is how they magically lead to better sleep for our little ones. Whether it's naptime or bedtime, the beach seems to work wonders, leaving them happily exhausted. It's nature's sleep remedy at its finest! 💤

Last night, we decided to try something new to enhance their sleep experience:

the "This Works" pillow spray infused with calming lavender.

Our daughter was especially excited about it, and we had a fun chat about lavender's soothing properties before tucking them in.

While it may be anecdotal, I couldn't help but notice how peacefully they slept afterward. Sometimes, it's the little things that make a big difference?

However, despite the restful night, our early risers were up at the crack of dawn, eager to start their day. While 6 a.m. may not be unbearable, I'll admit I'm secretly hoping for a 7 a.m. wake-up call, especially for our daughter, who doesn't nap during the day. By evening, after 12 hours of non-stop activity, the tiredness can start to show.

Living in Cyprus presents its own unique challenges with the early sunrise, unlike our previous home in Singapore, where the sun rises and sets like clockwork, making bedtime routines easier.

Today, it is our usual farmers market haul in the morning and then in the afternoon we're off to a spring festival with our dear friends, ready to immerse ourselves in the festive spirit. Be sure to follow along on my Instagram stories for all the fun. And keep an eye out for my review on MamaMeze, where I'll share our experience and recommendations. 🌸

As Easter weekend approaches, let's take a moment to cherish the precious moments with loved ones, it could be an Easter egg hunt or simply snuggling close with those we love and adore.

Remember, I'm always here to offer support and guidance whenever you need it.

Wishing you all a blessed and joy-filled Easter! 🐣💖
