Favorite toys for kids, what my boys got for their birthday

Happy Friday friends!

It is almost October, can you believe it? As my kids would say, it will be Halloween very soon… They have been thinking about Halloween since August!

I hope you had a great week and that you are getting excited for the weekend. We had a very nice weekend last week: on Saturday we picked up my husband from the airport because he had been away for a week, then we went to Boston and walked around because the weather was beautiful and Summer-warm! On Sunday I wanted to go to the beach really badly, but I decided not to, because I couldn`t stand thinking about the `sand cleaning` part of the day at my house: the process of getting rid of all the sand from the floor, laundry counters and beds is so time consuming and it drives me crazy, so I decided to spare myself this time! So on Sunday we went apple picking for the first time this season, we loved it and we even tried to go in a maze, we had a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed finding the right apples and trying them, now I have some baking to do with them.

My boys turned 5, this is how we celebrated!

Good morning friends and happy Friday!

Are you happy that the weekend is almost here? I am and I am especially excited because this weekend is supposed to be very warm, I mean, Summer warm and I cannot wait! We don`t have any plans yet, but we will spend as much time as we can outside playing and maybe apple picking. I am not one of those persons who can`t wait for Fall to come, who gets excited when the temperatures drop. I guess that it is because Winter is so long here in Massachusetts, that I would like Summer to last as long as possible!

Happy Friday friends,

How are you? I hope you had a great week. It is Friday, can you believe it? The weekend is almost here!

I don`t know about you, but yesterday as I was writing down on my calendar all of my appointments for the next months, I noticed that as the school started, the calendar is getting busier and busier: activities, birthday parties, doctors appointments, dentists… I am not complaining, I just need a minute to get adjusted to the new crazy schedule!

The beginning of the new school year and some organization tips

Hey friends,

Good morning and happy Friday! Do you also feel a little weird this week because of Labor day long weekend? On Tuesday I felt like it was Monday and then I lost track of time until two days ago, when I got reminded that I had to think about the cupcakes that my boys wanted me to make to take to school for their birthday! I didn`t forget and I had it planned, but I lost track of time, thinking that I had many days ahead of me before September 6th!

And here we are, today is my boys` birthday, I feel like they are big boys now (they are turning 5!). I am experiencing so many feelings right now (happiness, gratitude, sadness, all at the same time) but I am mainly thinking that I am not sure how all this time passed by and this is a reminder to me to live and enjoy every moment, because it is so true that time flies by and these beautiful moments will not come back!!
