Good morning my friends and happy Friday!

Are you happy that we are getting close to the weekend? I am, even though we had a nice week: Aurora was home from school for Winter break, the boys went to preschool this week, so we had a chance to spend some time together: we ran some errands, we did some activities, but also stayed at home (I got my nails painted by Aurora, I even got glitter and stickers!!). Today Aurora will be skiing with her dad and a friend of hers, she was very excited: she started skiing at the end of December and she has been making great progress, but most important, she likes it a lot!

Last weekend was a long one because we were all home for President`s day on Monday, so we did some fun activities together and that made me think about today`s post, I want to talk to you about some kid friendly activities in the Boston area. I always feel like Winter is very tricky because first of all it is so cold, and then the days are shorter, so we need to do something in the morning or early afternoon.

Good morning my friends and happy Friday!

How are you and how was your week? Ours was interesting, I don`t even know how to describe it, we started from the crazy heat wave that hit Massachusetts (not complaining here, I LOVED it!), to some good and bad news and finishing with one sick kid, who is at home with the stomach bug. This very nasty bug has been going around for a while at the daycare where my boys are (and also at Aurora`s school) and I knew it was just a matter of days or weeks before my kids would catch it. The time came on Wednesday night and of course I was home by myself. The nurse from the pediatrician office told me that it is very contagious, so I am just waiting before the other two (and maybe us) will catch it too. I am hoping that we will be spared, we will just have to wait and see unfortunately!

Good morning friends, happy Friday and happy first day of February!

I hope you had a nice week and if not, don`t worry, it is Friday and everything will be better tomorrow!! This week was very busy for us, because our babysitter was not here to help us, so I realized how helpful she is! The house is a mess, I worked from home and tried to have everything clean before starting working, but it did not always happen, so I took little `cleaning breaks` every now and then! Luckily my husband wasn`t traveling this week, so he came home a little earlier than usual and helped especially with the boys while I cooked dinner. I have to say that I am impressed by the twins: they are playing a little by themselves now and they don`t constantly scream `mammaaa` every five minutes: it`s a big achievement! Even though they are the same age, they don`t play much together, first because they always, always, end up in a fight and second because they like different things, so yesterday while Leonardo was `cooking` some dinner for me, Alessandro was playing in my office and with Legos.

Good morning friends and happy Friday!

It has been such a long time since I last wrote on my blog, I just checked and my last post is dated August 17^th, how is that even possible? You might be wondering what happened and why I disappeared… there is no real reason, everything went on and life happened! Now looking back I realized that the more I was taking time off from writing for my blog, the harder it was to start back, I was feeling like I did not even have time to squeeze in a couple of hours to dedicate to writing.
