Just posted a new article about Crete, talking (a lot, and I mean it :D) about how was this trip with baby Alexei. It is funny to read all the Baby Travels articles we’ve posted, everything changes so much in just a matter of weeks. Once you start thinking that everything has become predictable, something new appears and changes all the routine :) Anyways, now, at 13 months, life is so much easier. Can’t believe where we are now, at just one year difference than last year. Just a short memory exercise will show me crying every single day, complaining a lot about everything, struggling to overcome my postpartum depression and always thinking that I’m just not made to be a good mom. Fast forward today, I can honestly say that I have never been happier in my life. And yup, I want a second baby. As shocking as it might sound :) #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi #captureheroesprinlume
The Artist :)) #prinlumecom #jucariiprinlume
Funny thing is that ten friends of ours are leaving to Crete next week, in different groups and different locations on the island. Some of them are going to Malia (the party town), others in Rethimnon surroundings to relax and chill at the beach. Don’t know what happened with Crete this year, but it really seems like a popular destination :) Wouldn’t mind going again hahaha :))) #prinlumecom
Our first article about Crete is ready! We know so many of you will travel to Crete in the next two months so we hope you will find this useful as it contains general information about the largest island of Greece (link in bio). Two more articles will follow, one that will contain detailed information about the itinerary and the other one will describe our stories experience in Crete with baby Alexei (it will only be focused on baby travel information). #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi
Timp de un an am folosit mereu scuza operatiei de cezariana ca sa nu fac sport. Nu am fost niciodata o sportiva, ba chiar dimpotriva (antrenorii de gimnastica mi-au spus sa nu mai vin la antrenamente cand eram mica :D, la orele de sport in liceu aveam mereu scutire, abia daca reusesc sa prind o minge, nu stiu sa inot, sa merg pe bicicleta sau pe role si imi dau duhul cand alerg 3 km). Stiu cat de important este sportul, la fel cum stiu ca m-ar fi ajutat enorm psihic in perioada de dupa nastere (perioada foarte dificila pentru mine). Insa cumva mi-e foarte greu sa ma mobilizez si efectiv urasc sa merg la sala. Insa ma streseaza teribil cele 4kg in plus ramase dupa nastere si imi doresc sa fac ceva sa arat si sa ma simt mai bine. Iar singura solutie este sa merg intr-un loc dragut, in care sa imi faca placere sa merg, fara sa simt ca sunt intr-o sala de sport normala si plictisitoare. Nu stiu, chiar nu stiu daca ma voi tine de treaba (of ce mesaj nedemn de Instagramul-Perfect scriu aici :D), insa voi incerca :) Iar locatiile W ale @worldclass.romania sper sa ma ajute sa vin cu drag aici :) #worldclassromania
There are so many nice small towns and villages in Crete! Rethimnon is considered even more beautiful than Chania (which is known as the most beautiful Cretan town) and it has this cute Venetian harbor where we spent several evenings :) But we’re so sorry that we couldn’t see Agios Nikolaos, from the pictures we’ve seen it really looks gorgeous! #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi
We are now back home aaaaaand for the first time in 28 flights Alexei slept the entire flight! But it was really late in the evening (from 22:00 to 24:00) so I guess it was quite normal. There are many lessons learned from this trip and I will talk more about soon :) One of them is that I should wear more baby friendly clothes for sure. This dress that I was wearing was a gorgeous silk dress from @cloche_creator_of_desire :) Great for breastfeeding but the fabric is just too precious! #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi
Yup, that’s also Crete :) Actually the only freshwater lake on the island, we visited it on our way to the Cretan night at a tradition taverna called Palios Mylo’s. It was a really nice and refreshing stop and honestly we were longing for riding one of those pedalos on the lake but it was way too unsafe to do it with baby Alexei :) #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi
I might look as if I’m ready to hike on a mountain, but I honestly love carrying my baby :) It really doesn’t matter where I am, I always have my baby carrier with me for Alexei’s naps. That’s the only way I can put him to sleep (breastfeeding him in the baby carrier). I know it doesn’t look fancy but honestly (and I really mean it) I like matching my outfits with the baby carrier I’m using :))) That’s exactly why I bought this swimming suit from Crete, because it was matching the Romanian embroideries from the baby carrier. Who knows, maybe in a couple of years it will be fashionable (not only useful and healthy) to wear our babies :) And maybe @isara_baby_carriers , @lennylamb , Manduca and all other brands will design super fashionable baby carriers and no mother will ever say that she doesn’t look stylish when wearing her baby! Can’t wait for that day :) #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi #isaraprinlume
Elafonissi beach is a great beach indeed but social media creates so unrealistic expectations. This beach is called The Pink Beach, however, there’s no such thing as pink sand as it is advertised on the internet. There is a small stretch of pinkish sand at the shore (but just a really narrow stretch and you can barely notice the pink color) which is made by organisms from the dead corals and shells that are brought to the shore. So nope, those pictures that we see on Pinterest and other social media platforms are not real. Other than that, Elafonissi is gorgeous :) #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi
Such a diva :))))) #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi
Hey dear mommies, when did your babies start to walk on their own? For more than three months Alexei started to walk with our help (we’re holding his hands and he can easily walk or even run sometimes hahaha) but he still doesn’t walk on his own. He is afraid and sits or crawl whenever we are not around to help him. I remember that years ago a friend of mine told me that her baby was quite “lazy” and started to walk at 14 months. Now, considering the fact that Alexei is 13 months and that our pediatrician told us that his ankles bend too much inward and that his muscles are not strong enough... should we worry? I know that babies should start walking by 18 months but I’m just having a momzilla moment here :D #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi
Greece is indeed wonderful but we’re just wondering... wouldn’t be a good idea to visit it during off season? Has anyone visited Crete in... let’s say November? I’m pretty sure it still looks amazing and I really hope that there are fewer tourists! #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi @cocktailholidays.ro
Aaaaand we’ve made it! Alexei is finally wearing his sunglasses (not longer than 5 minutes though and only if everyone around him is wearing sunglasses as well :D). Yup, woke up at 5AM again, as Alexei seems to be such a morning baby these days :D #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi @littlebandit.ro
We’re going back to our hotel from our trip to Gramvousa Island and Balos Bay and we have to admit it, these places are amazingly beautiful. Never thought Greece looks exactly as in the pictures seen on the internet. The only inconvenient was the fact that it was extremely crowded but that’s just something normal during high season. Greece is easily accessible for Europeans, it has gorgeous islands, gorgeous views, good prices and scenery like this one. So during summer time, it is just flooded, literally flooded by tourists. Wondering how is place during off season... #prinlumecom #prinlumeingreece #greece #crete #cocktaildetrairi
