Quite possibly my favourite photo of these two EVER.

iPhoneography // Hello Gracen
Ever since moving back to Kuwait, Miss G has seen other kids strolling around The Avenues with elaborately painted faces done at Baroue. By far, her favourite has been the full-face Hello Kitty design. Until today, I’d slyly been putting it off, but when she asked this morning during breakfast, I agreed to go at least go and check it out. Lo and behold, we arrived to find not a single person in line, so today was the day {oy}. I sort of cringed as I watched her entire face being covered in paint, but it was fast, the face painter was excellent, and she was so thrilled with the outcome that I couldn’t help but be thrilled for her. Plus, I’ll admit that she does make a pretty cute Hello Gracen. ☺
iPhoneography // Friday Mornings As They Should Be
During our first stint here in Kuwait, my Friday ritual was to go to The Avenues first thing in the morning when the mall was nice and quiet (Fridays mark the beginning of the weekend here). I’d pick up a coffee, browse the shops, visit Dean & Deluca, and leave before noon when things began to get crazy. When Grae arrived, the tradition continued, only now as a mama and Grae date. Brad would get a morning to himself to sleep in and have some downtime, and Gracen would snuggle up with me in the Cuddly Wrap or Ergo as we cruised along. It was always one of favourite parts of the week… A little piece of calm civility in a country that can sometimes be chaotic and overwhelming.
