Easter baskets ideas

Good morning friends,

Happy Friday!

How are you? I hope you are hanging in there and keeping your sanity!

In the past few weeks had some good days and some bad ones, but my husband and I are trying to helping each other entertaining the kids and working/playing with them. This week we tried to stick to a stricter schedule, because one of our kids does much better when he knows exactly what to do and what is going to happen and it looks like it went a little better than the week before, so we keep our fingers crossed and hope that it will work! I will prepare a post with a collection of all the activities that we did at home and outside and all the activities that I am planning on doing, so please be patient, it will come soon and hopefully it will help you with some ideas!

How to spend our time in this difficult moment: books for grownups

Good morning friends,

Happy Friday!

I hope that you are doing well in this difficult time and that you are keeping your sanity at home. This situation is tough, because everyone loves to go around every day, in stores and playgrounds with the kids, but I also think that all that we have to do to stay healthy is try to keep positive and stay at home, so the virus won`t spread. I just heard something on Instagram by a lady who was reflecting on how hard this situation must be on our kids, who understand just a little part of the problem and in these days they are forced to stay at home and are not allowed to go to school and see their friends. I am very guilty of not thinking about it and of asking them to behave and not fight, to  get through the day as if the situation was normal and they had their everyday routine. But unfortunately it is tough on them too!

Traveling with kids: some tips that work for my family

Hey friends,

Good morning and happy Friday! I am a little late in posting this today, but this week slipped away from me and just yesterday I realized that the post was not ready to be published!

I hope you had a great week and are getting ready for a great weekend!

After getting adjusted after our little trip to Las Vegas two weeks ago, I needed last week to get used back to the routine and setup the new routine of afternoon activities, homework, doctors appointments. This past week went pretty smoothly and I am back here talking to you about some tips regarding traveling with kids.

Our trip to Las Vegas

Good morning friends and happy Friday!

I am so sorry I did not have a post ready for you to read last Friday, but I was on vacation with my family. We went to Las Vegas for Aurora`s Winter break for 4 days. We had a nice time, we were able to rest a little, even though, as you know, it is not really relaxing when you go somewhere with kids! But I have to say, after the adjustment of the first two days, we were even able to sleep in in the morning until 7.00, which was great if you think that on the first morning the boys were wide awake by 4.50 am!!

Friday favorites around the house

Good morning friends,

Happy Valentine`s day!

I hope that you had a nice week and that you will be able to celebrate with your loved ones these days.

We did a little celebration at home this morning: I prepared some baskets for the kids containing some presents: books, headphones for our upcoming trip and candies. They were really excited, especially for the candies! I also packed a heart shaped sandwich for Aurora with a little note and for the boys I put a chocolate in their lunch boxes. Tonight we will have some heart shaped chocolate chip cookies and a heart shaped vegan chocolate cake(I shared the recipe a while ago on the blog!)

Valentine`s day celebration with kids

Good morning friends,

Happy Friday! I am so happy that we are getting so close to the weekend, because this week has been a little challenging for us. I don`t know if this happens to you too, but if the days starts in a hard, scary way, then I am usually shaken and stressed for the whole day!

Friday favorites: beauty edition

Good morning friends and happy Friday!

I hope that you are having a great week and if not, don`t worry, the weekend is getting closer and closer! We had a nice, busy week. In the last four weeks Aurora has been taking horseback riding classes and yesterday was the last one. I loved being able to go with her and watching her, I love horses and I asked so many questions about them to the instructor, because I don`t know much about those beautiful animals. I also started the registration for Kindergarten for Alessandro and Leonardo for next year, I have been so busy filling papers and looking for documents to complete the registration, that I haven`t stopped to think what it really means. My boys are getting older and I know I will be VERY emotional when they stop going to their daycare and start going to the “big kids school“!
