ice age obsession

Help! I thought that zoeti was still to young for a whole movie. We tried a month ago with Cinderella and after 30 mins she was paying no attention to the screen.
Then, I don't know why, she started asking about dinosaurs. I think it's George's fault ( yes, I mean peppa's brother). That's why we tried with the ice age and now it's the only thing she asks for! Luckily there are 4 movies otherwise I'd become insane! So these days Sid & co. are our best friends!
what about your kids? are they obsessed by a cartoon?

grape harvest time

September in my family means just few things: my birthday, our wedding anniversary and..harvest! I remember that when my grandparents were alive the grapes harvest was a family moment. My grandfather had a lot of vineyards and we collected the grapes all together (the truth is that my cousins and I ate the grapes...)

Last year zoeti was too young for harvest but this year I want to recreate that family moment with her.
So here we are, collecting white and red grapes, with a little hand peeping from time to time to eat...

Alma has helped too!

Then my father has showed her the first steps of making wine.

There's just one last thing to say: welcome autumn!

Zoe Tiare: playing with a horse shaped balloon… i was sure you would have chosen the peppa pig’s one….

Alma Aiko: you are always too curious for sleeping, so see you so peacefully asleep in the car seat is a kind of miracle!

happy birthday to me!

yesterday i turned 32. i was expecting to be ready for one of those post where you make an assessment of your life… but the truth is that i don’t have time to think about it! life here is quite crazy lately and every spare moment i’m doing something instead of thinking…
i really miss a quiet moment with myself, without thinking about the grocery list, weekly menu or pediatrician’s appointments.
anyway i had a beautiful birthday. on saturday one of my closest friend got married and right after midnight all the guests sang “happy birthday” and yesterday i’ve been to chioggia (near venice) for lunch with my parents and in-laws. 

    

bamboom review

we don’t have baby showers here in italy but it’s quite common to bring a present to a friend during the pregnancy. one of the presents i received was a couple of bamboom bodysuit. bamboom is a brand that uses organic bamboo fiber for its properties as anti-bacterial, anallergic, absorbs humidity and sweat, it’s as soft as cashmere, uvproof, environmentally friendly, reduces static electricity, biodegradable, screen the infrared. a lot of qualities, right?
some of these qualities are not easily verified, but believe me: it is as soft as cashmere! another important thing is that it’s fully opened in the front, so it is super easy to wear.  and they come with a very cute little bag.
and … it’s made in italy!

thank you giudy for the gift… as you can see i really loved it!
