Hey friends! Good morning and happy Tuesday!

How did your weekend go? We had a lot of fun and tried to do many things despite the bad weather on Saturday. On Sunday we went to the beach and we understood that trying to go there on a Sunday in the middle of the day was not the best idea, because the parking lots were full and the beaches packed! So we really had to look for a place with a big parking lot and we will know for next week that we have to leave home very early! We finally found a small beach in Glouchester, the kids had lots of fun, even though the water was not really clean (lots and lots of algae). I was very happy because our friends Silvia and Chicco were with us, so we had a chance to talk and play with the kids. And I have to say, the kids were surprisingly good at the beach! They usually play a lot with sand, but yesterday Alessandro was looking for “beautiful rocks“ (this activity kept him busy for hours) and Leonardo mostly played in the water with his dad and Aurora!

Good morning my friends, how are you? I hope you are having a great week, the weekend is coming, are you ready? I am not sure what we are going to do yet, it depends on the weather, which hasn`t been cooperating lately!

As I promised on Tuesday, today I am going to make a small list of presents for men. Hopefully it will be useful for you if you have to get a present for a man in your life soon! As always, the first thing  that I think about when I have to get something for my husband is if he needs something and this time he really needed a pair of shoes and a belt, so I got those for him. Some other things that he always needs are pieces of clothing and a perfume, so these are ideas that are always uselful. This time I found a nice polo shirt from Brooks Brothers at Nordstrom Rack, so I paid way less than its original price!

Good  morning friends and happy Tuesday!

I hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed it. We did have a very nice long weekend filled with lots of fun! My husband was home last Friday, so we had time to check off some activities from our Summer bucket list! We went to Canobie Lake park in New Hempshire, we saw a show from the Cirque du Soleil in Boston and we explored a new beach in Manchester by the Sea on Sunday, very exciting and the kids loved all these activities.

This post will be a little random, because I wanted to talk to you about my husband`s birthday celebrations and the presents that we got for him, but I also wanted to talk to you about something very special that just happened, so today I will concentrate on the birthday celebrations and on the very special `gift` that I got and on Friday I will write a post about the presents we got for my husband, which I think could be very useful because I find it very hard to find presents for men (I don`t know if it`s the same for you, but it is always difficult for me to find something original and a little different from the usual gifts, like a perfume, a tie, shoes, a belt…).

Good morning friends and happy Friday!

I hope you had a nice week and that you are planning your weekend. We don`t know what we are going to do yet, but we will enjoy the sun if the weather is nice.

Today I wanted to talk a little about my kids` Summer favorites so far. My kids have different interests: Aurora likes to read, draw, paint, she likes to play with her Barbies and to dress up. Leonardo likes to run and play sports but he also likes to read, Alessandro likes to go around in the yard and look for bugs, he likes puzzles and books too. The three of them like to play in the yard with the trampoline, on the swing, on the amaca, with water toys. They like to get wet in the yard, especially with the sprinklers and water balloons. A part from these activities there are some toys that they are loving at the beach and at home:
