Hi, I’m Sarah! A 40-something mum of one, blogging about Greek/English family life in London with my husband, the Greek God(zilla), and our 8 year old son.
I work part-time as freelance writer and blogger – you can read some of my work below – and have also co-written a Greek recipe book, Secrets from Yiayia’s Greek Kitchen, which is available to buy on Amazon now.
If you are interested in any of Yiayia’s traditional Greek family recipes, please visit my food blog www.vassoskouzina.co.uk.
Sometimes funny. Mostly not. Unless drunk, then I think I am hilarious.

Just found your blog after reading your post Just the One on Tots100. Wow. As another mum of one, with Hashimoto’s (10 years) I know exactly where you’re coming from – minus the Greek god of course :). Looking forward to reading more and having a good old nosy around your fabulous blog – just got to get back to work first *oops!*

Ps. If the early riser post picks are your own, then we even have the same cushions. Think you might have to be my new best bloggy friend! 🙂

Haha, very nice to meet you! I’ve only just found about the Hashimoto’s – would love to chat more about it!
