Hi friends, good morning and happy Tuesday!
I hope you had a great weekend and a nice start to your week yesterday.
Today I want to talk to you about fruit picking and why our family loves it so much.
New favorites for Summer
Good morning friends and happy Friday!
I am happy because this week I was able to post both on Tuesday and today. This was possible because the boys were in school and Aurora went to a soccer camp on Monday, so I had time to prepare a bunch of posts that day!
How is your week going, do you have any plans for the weekend? We are happy that it is coming but we don`t have anything planned yet, a part enjoying the sun and probably going to the beach!
Our Summer bucket list
Good morning dear friends and welcome back!
I am finally back after taking a couple weeks off. I am not sure how long this will last, but be patient, Summer is a tricky time, I will try to write new posts for the blog and to post on Instagram as much as I can, but I also want to take the time to enjoy my family and spend some time with my kids.
I didn`t go anywhere these past two, three weeks and we are not planning on leaving for the Summer, but with the end of the school year life got a little more complicated (but also easier in many ways!) without our usual routine. Aurora was home and the boys have been home too these last two weeks. We took advantage of these days to do some activities: my husband took a couple days off and we went to a water park and to Boston Common park when they opened the Summer season at the frog pond. We went strawberry and cherry picking, we made some trips to Boston and had picnics at the park. We also played a lot with our water slide in the yard, which the kids are loving! Starting on Monday (yesterday) the boys will go back to school and hopefully they will feel like their life will go back to normal. I don`t know if it happens to your kids too, but mine (especially one of the boys) do great with routine, they need to know what is happening and what to expect, with the random activities and the school closed, they felt a little lost, and this led to tantrums, a lot of complaining, whining and crying!
A very special recipe
Happy Friday my friends!
How are you and how was your week? Wow, mine was intense: very busy but most of all, very emotional because yesterday was Aurora`s last day of Kindergarten. I took her picture in the morning and then compared it to the one I took on her first day at the end of August and I couldn`t believe how much she changed in just ten months, she looked like a little girl in the first picture and like a big, big girl in the second. That made me cry first and then realize that kids grow so fast and that I always concentrate on planning their days, weeks, months in detail and I often lose perspective and don`t enjoy the little moments. I have always struggled with it, because having everything planned makes me feel that everything is under control, but I decided now to try and focus on living more in the moment and enjoying every second with my precious little kids! I know it is very hard, but i will try!
Ok, now I will stop ranting about this because otherwise I will start crying again…
Today I wanted to give you the recipe of the really good brownies that I made last week for the kids Summer party.
A very fun Summer party
Good morning friends, happy Wednesday!
First of all, I am really sorry for missing last Friday`s post, but these weeks have been particularly busy with the end of school and all of the celebrations related.. I can not believe that Aurora is done with Kindergarten and will be in First grade next year!
I hope you had a great weekend, we had a very fun one, on Saturday we threw a Summer party at our house with the kids` friends (I will talk about it in a second…) and on Sunday we celebrated Father`s day: after we gave my husband his presents, we went to his favorite bakery to get these amazing cinnamon rolls and then we ate them in a park close to our house. Then we got home and played outside.
Father`s day guide: my top picks
Good morning my friends and happy Wednesday,
I hope your week is being sunny and not too busy, but I know that with the end of school and the thousands of errands to run it is nearly impossible!
Last weekend we hosted a big party for my husband`s company and it looked like it was a success. We hired a food truck (The bacon truck) which served sandwiches to the guests, we had snacks, pizzas, salads and desserts, we had some fun games and a bouncy house and trampoline for the kids: a lot of fun! If you live close to Boston, I really recommend the food truck that we used, the guys were very nice and everyone loved the food. I just took a bite of the BLT and the grilled cheese sandwiches and they were really good!
Friday favorites: home decor
Hey friends, good morning and happy Friday! How did your week go? Ours was pretty tough. It was supposed to be a busy, fun week with a concert and an event in Boston for me and my husband, but instead I didn`t feel very well and Leonardo got croup, which is lasting a looong time, so we didn`t do much. I feel like June didn`t start as I expected, but hopefully we will all get better soon!
Today I wanted to talk a little about home decor and show you my favorite of the last period. I am not an expert, but I like decorating my house and changing it every now and then, so I take a lot of inspiration from Instagram and Pinterest.
