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:

Hi friends, good morning and happy Tuesday!

I hope you had a great weekend and a nice start to your week yesterday.

Today I want to talk to you about fruit picking and why our family loves it so much.

Good morning dear friends and welcome back!

I am finally back after taking a couple weeks off. I am not sure how long this will last, but be patient, Summer is a tricky time, I will try to write new posts for the blog and to post on Instagram as much as I can, but I also want to take the time to enjoy my family and spend some time with my kids.

I didn`t go anywhere these past two, three weeks and we are not planning on leaving for the Summer, but with the end of the school year life got a little more complicated (but also easier in many ways!) without our usual routine. Aurora was home and the boys have been home too these last two weeks. We took advantage of these days to do some activities: my husband took a couple days off and we went to a water park and to Boston Common park when they opened the Summer season at the frog pond. We went strawberry and cherry picking, we made some trips to Boston and had picnics at the park. We also played a lot with our water slide in the yard, which the kids are loving! Starting on Monday (yesterday) the boys will go back to school and hopefully they will feel like their life will go back to normal. I don`t know if it happens to your kids too, but mine (especially one of the boys) do great with routine, they need to know what is happening and what to expect, with the random activities and the school closed, they felt a little lost, and this led to tantrums, a lot of complaining, whining and crying!
