Coffee is my best friend and my worse enemy. You might ask: How can it be possible?

My son and daughter today went on a field trip with school. My son had already gone in at least two trips, for my daughter it was the first one. They went to visit the Park & Zoo S. Ignacio in the north of the country so this was the longest trip they have ever done without us.

My son drove me into playing Tribal Wars. He loves the game and wanted me to join. I must confess I was not very attracted to the game because I think thought it was very boring. He ended up forcing me to sign up and now I’m playing Tribal Wars every day.

Basically Tribal Wars is like the name says, …

My daughter is in the mom’s shoes phase. Every day when she arrives home she puts on my shoes and walks around the house. I know all girls go through this phase, but it can turn out to be very annoying especially when the shoes make a lot of noise.
