Life Offline in Dubai

I spent my absence celebrating my birthday with my entire family who all flew from the Philippines for a stop over in Dubai. They were on their way to Germany for my sister's wedding which I sadly won't be able to attend  (due to motherhood and work - yes,  maternity leave is over).

Three days of touring Dubai led to these photos. Here are glimpses of some of the places they saw and some self treats offline that you might have seen on Instagram.

Colorful floor lamps and pendant lighting
Ramadan : I would need to wait a month before I can drink in public
Nice to be home with the family
Road trip to Ras Al Khaimah
Of course, she's a part of everything and with us anywhere

Have a great weekend!
Love & light,
Arni

    Your home is beautiful! And also your baby girl, she's really cute! I'm sure you had fun spending time with your family. Too bad vacation is over. Hope I could visit Dubai too, someday.

    Ohhh, you're baby girl is so lovely! And growing so quickly! It must be sad that your maternity leave is that short and now you cannot spend your everyday with her.
    I'm sorry that you cannot attend your sister's weddig but at least you got to see your family and celebrate your birthday with them. I'm sure it was extra special with little Anais around :)

    Hope you're getting through respecting ramadan. A guy in my office is doing ramadan too and it must be really hard for him. Not only does he see people eating and deinking all the time, but also the sun rises around 4:30 in the morning and sets near 11pm - way too long to go without drinking or eating!

    Enjoy every minute with your baby girl.
    Big hug x

    How wonderful that you got to spend time with family and friends. And look at your little bub! I've been so absent blogging that I had no idea you even had one. Congrats (albeit belated). Oh and your home is gorgeous! xx
