Ultimate Blog Party 2011

Ultimate Blog Party 2011


Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm so happy to see you here :)

Let me introduce myself. My name is Dimitra, I'm from Athens, Greece. I'm a mother of a 4 month-old, wonderful girl. I'm new to motherhood and a bit clueless, I'm afraid. I'm trying my best, though, and I'm learning everyday. 



My blog is even younger than my daughter, so I'm new in blogging as well. It is a little bit about everything, but it is mostly about home decor. I'm, also, learning much everyday and I'm hoping to meet great people, through this amazing blog party. Oh, this is my first blog party, as well!  


Let me share my dreams with you-for this lifetime, I hope :)


1) I hope that someday we'll move from this: 

Traffic in Athens


To this: 
Quiet life in Portaria Village on Mount Pelion
  

2) Find some peace of mind and soul, and some time, to finally sit down and write my book.

3) And, my biggest dream of all… move to Scotland! I don't know what it is; the nature, the whole country, the feeling of seclusion, but whatever it is, it is an enchanting country. Unfortunately, let's face it: It takes guts to move to another country.

What about you and your dreams?



That's it from me, for now. Again, I'd like to welcome you all. And for those of you, who haven't heard yet… 


The party is on, so, come and join us! Oh, and happy April Fool's Day!

  11. Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your daughter is so beautiful. Yes it is hard to recover from a C-section. My scar still hurts sometimes even after 9 months already. But it's all worth it. I love your dreams. I would love to visit Scotland. But my dream is for me and my family to come back and retire in the Philippines. I miss that beautiful tropical country. :)

    I hope your dream will come true very soon and you'll go back to Philippines!

  15. My husband has always wanted to live in a Scottish castle. I think it's because his family is Norwegian, and he feels the need to play the role of the Viking... Anywhoo, I'm looking forward to spending more time on your blog. Your little princess is adorable!

  16. Nice to meet you Dimitra. Thank you for stopping by UBP on my blog. You have wonderful dreams and goals. Scotland is so beautiful. Moving to another country? I've done it twice and have enjoyed it, so you'll love it when it's time. Greece seems so beautiful too though by the ocean. I can't wait to read your posts so blog on:-)

  33. Hi Dimitra,

    Thanks for stopping by my London Mama blog. Birth stories are all so special aren't they? It's amazing how once you've given birth, you're then emotionally attached to everyone's stories - there's a programme on Channel 4 in the UK called One Born Every Minute - http://lifebegins.channel4.com/ - and I'm hooked. Oooh think that's what my next post will be about!
