Today was youth and sport day and Sofia didn’t have school. So naturally, we spend our day at the beach. Jason switched his work day to Saturday this week-thanks @jasoninturkey ! Sofia has 2 ice creams and I took literally these 3 photos. After 3 weeks at home it was amazing to get out and be with friends by the sea.

Mutlu Bayramlar herkese! And happy 2.5 years to Sofia! Ramazan is coming to a close here with this weekend bayram or celebration! Unfortunately we are still on lockdown through Monday. It’s also why I have been MIA. But we are almost done!!! The weather is warming up, the sun is out, and family comes in 2 weeks! We are ready for a bit of freedom!!!

Happy Mother’s Day! For the child that didn’t come from my body, but was born in my heart years before you became ours. Thank you for making me a mama. Thank you to the women who trusted us with you to raise. Thank you to my momma for teaching and loving me! And thank you to all the women in our lives with and without kids who are also mothering mentors to us. What many joyful and hard moments and thoughts I have stored away that I will always treasure.

SHARING A COUPLE OF HONEST THINGS HERE:

Every bit of Turkey and its food revolves around seasons and events. Ramazan is no different! Here in Turkey, there is a special bread made only during the Ramazan, the 30 days of fasting. It is a must have when attending Iftar with locals or even if you aren't fasting, it's worth a try.

Last day out was a success. Sofia’s school played outside all morning! And after we rested, she went out again. Jason surprised her with a balloon and we got a scoop of ice cream. Hopefully tomorrow she won’t asked to do all of these things again 🤪😆. Now we start the countdown: 18 (edited from 17) days till freedom. (Sorry your eyes are closed @jasoninturkey )
