Currently, February 2021. Plus Thursday Moda Linkup.

It is February, I feel like January went by pretty quickly though in its way, each day seemed long! I feel like that's always the case with January. I did a no-buy January - accomplished!! - with the exception of Vivian's Birthday gifts and her birthday party stuff and that costed a good penny, of course. But we had a great, minimal, immediate family celebration. Will share her birthday party here on the blog, soon. Today I am joining ANNE from In Residence with her monthly "Currently" series.

loving: The current shows I am watching including two Albanian TV Shows, "Bodyguard", "Lupin", "A Million Little Things" and during this time every year "The Bachelor" (I am loving this particular bachelor, haven't liked all of them). Next on my list "Monarca", "The Crown", "Bling Empire", "Ratched", "Daughter from Another Mother", "Firefly Lane", "Borgen" so much more. Netflix is addicting! What are some TV shows you have watched and loved lately?! Let me know.

reading: haven't started anything new right now, but there are two books on my night stand currently. What are some books you are suggesting?! I am not looking for anything too heavy. It is dreary and Winter after all.

remembering: Vivian's baby years. She just recently turned 8 so every time a new birthday approaches, I get reminded of my baby and how little she once was. How did 8 years fly by?! She is an actual little person now, she has her traits, her talents, her flaws, her characteristics, her personality. And she makes me so happy and proud every day!

sharing: Some red+pink looks on the blog and on my Instagram this month, in honor of the month of Love. So, stay tuned about that. I shared one today on my Instagram, too. However, we have had some very cold weather so taking photos outside has been no fun!

wishlisting: A good robe, something soft and cozy, 100% cotton, something that feels like you sat on a pile of clouds. I don't even mind spending a little extra on it, as long as it's good and well-made! I plan on wearing it a lot and keeping it for a long time.

As you all know I love looking back into posts shared and blogged during this time of year, on previous years. I usually look back at some of my past outfits and styles. But, today I am doing a non-fashion throwback, since I mentioned Vivian's birthday. I am re-posting a poem I wrote about her, in January 2019 when she turned 6. Here it is. Hope you enjoy it!

My  Daughter

[February 2nd 2019, 11.000 P.M.]

The silkyness of your hair as I hold you tight,

so luscious and long, so healthy and pretty,

the beauty of those deep hazel-green eyes so bright,

those eyes that look into mine with so much love and curiosity!

The feel of your milky ivory, softer-than-soft skin,

the skin I smelled since the moment you were born,

the delightful little baby I held within,

I smelled you, I felt you, I heard your heart beat inside mine!

You were the little human that would change me entirely,

my unicorn world, my ray of sunshine,

you were the reason that today I hold the title of 'mommy',

you little diamond, the most precious stone!

The blood that pumps within my own veins,

my flesh and blood, my mini me, my soul,

your heart that beats inside my own chest,

my beautiful angel, my darling, I love you so!

As you take each step with your brave little self,

as you ask all those questions with what ifs and you wander,

 as you breathe and take a moment to take it all in and relax,

watching the world around you with the a sense of wonder!

Keep living, walking, running, smiling, wondering my little one,

the world is your oyster and you are its wise pearl,

keep dreaming and always believing in fairies and unicorns, 

no one can tell you otherwise, if you believe!

Lastly, here are 3 photos of Vivian from today when she was off from school. I took her outside for a bit and we took a short walk despite the cold. She is totally in her element here. Vivian just loves snow. She was enjoying playing in the snow, walking on it, jumping on it, making snow angels and creating little snow sculptures.
