An Italian mom in Boston
Hi everyone and happy Halloween!
Halloween is here and we have already been to a Halloween parade last Saturday morning, a Halloween birthday party in the evening, we hosted a Halloween party on Sunday, we went to Aurora`s school to see her parade this morning and we are going trick or treating in the evening. It`s been pretty busy, but the kids are so happy! (I was not as happy when I realized how many candies they had during the weekend…).
Hi everyone and happy Friday!
As I already mentioned to you, I love Halloween, at least for two reasons: the first is that I like to decorate the house according to the season and the second is because I never celebrated Halloween as a kid, in Italy we didn`t do that in the past, but people started to celebrate it in the past 5/10 years or so.
Since we are getting closer to the spookiest day of the year, I want to dedicate this Friday favorites to Halloween, so I will list all the things that impressed me in the last couple weeks and that I used to decorate the house with. Are you ready? Let`s start:
Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!
Another week is beginning and we are getting closer to Halloween, my kids are very excited, especially because we are going to host a Halloween party at our house this year. They have changed their minds about the choice of their costumes I think around a thousand times, but it looks like now we have some winners (Alessandro just has a little doubt, but hopefully he will make up his mind because I don`t want to be running around looking for a new costume the day before Halloween!).
I LOVE apple picking!
I have to admit: fall has never been my favorite season, because I love spring! Spring is the beginning of the warm weather, spring is when we start seeing flowers blooming on trees, spring is the season of my birthday! Fall always felt a little sad to me: colder weather, leaves falling from the trees, the feeling that winter was coming…
Then I moved to New England and realized that fall is not that bad, actually here it is wonderful! There is foliage with its incredible colors: who would have ever thought that leaves could be orange or bright yellow? Not me! Here fall means pumpkins, cinnamon spice lattes, apples, apple cider, apple cider donuts! Fall is not so sad anymore, it is the opportunity for us to look at the wonders of nature: the leaves changing colors and falling from the trees have become an amazing show to watch, it is like snow falling from the sky, but in all the different shades of yellow and orange!
