The Christmas Tree is up. I find it quite early but the kids were talking about it all the time so Dear Dad went to the basement yesterday and brought the tree and all the ornaments for it.

I know how stressful it can be when my husband is trying to build or do something with the kids so although …

So, how was your Halloween?

In Portugal Halloween is not a tradition but we are getting U.S.A. influences and most schools are adopting the “Witch Day” activities but still without costumes. Costumes are only used for specially organized parties mostly in discos and bars. But for our children the special day is on November 1st.

My kids love to be in the backyard pool. This photo was taken in July and they were playing at “Diving Together”. It’s great to capture their best moments together, when they are really getting along and not teasing each other.

I must confess…lately I’ve been lazy when it comes to tell bedtime stories.

I use to tell a story every night to my son and daughter but lately, with the hurry to go to bed, with our conversations (that are also important) bedtime story has gone to a second third plan. I confess this is something I’ve been thinking about …
