Last week we went to Lisbon

First we eat on the Vasco da Gama and then we visited the Oceanario de Lisboa. We had been there with my son 7 years ago and we wanted to show him and my daughter the beauties there are in the ocean.

We had this visit…

This is a corner I have on my backyard and I need ideas for it.

The green container is my composter bin and the wall behind it divides my house from my neighbor’s house. The left wall is my living room external wall. Although I have a more or less rectangular backyard, I also have this…

Although the sun is shining and it’s hot, the wind blows too much to go to the beach. So, holidays at home.

This weekend I was having a conversation with a neighbor about how much we need holidays and where to go and she asked why don’t I go to the south of the country to…

I must confess sunflowers are not my favorite flowers because they grow way too high and I prefer to watch them in big fields where I can see them all together from the distance.

This year my son insisted in having sunflowers in the garden because he was curious about this flower…

This photo was taken on my backyard where we have the swimming pool. We have one plastic table and two chairs where we usually put the towels, where I have a box with coloring pens and books for my daughter, a small radio (it looks like a Coca Cola can)…

The first holiday week is over. I must confess we sometimes have a hard time with the kids because they are so stubborn but overall everything went smoothly.

Monday we went to a slide & splash park and the kids loved it. It has those big slides that my son loves and, without getting tired he…

These are the lettuces from my organic garden. I only planted a few lettuces, just for the fun of seeing them growing on my own back yard.

I bought a package of seeds and spread them on the land. When the lettuces started growing I moved them to flower pots. I end up having…

Last Wednesday my daughter lost her second tooth. She is only 5 years and 4 months and already 2 teeth out. This girl is growing too fast.

Yesterday it was my last working day before my vacations and my older boss made me the favor of ruin everything. For the last 6 months I am doing…

My 10 years old is growing. Instead of a quiet, tidy and well behaved boy, I guess I have a boy like almost everyone else know: active, untidy, lazy and protesting boy. He is also very sweet and friendly.

He was never a boy that asked many questions about “difficult” subjects like sexuality, but lately the…

Next month it’s my father’s 80th birthday. Due to his Alzheimer disease, he is in bed for almost two years.

Two months ago, through a TV program, my mother had the information that there were rehabilitation medical centers available in a nearby cities. She went to the social security department, filled in the forms and…
