Today it was the first day of Summer Holidays for the kids. They stayed at home last week with my husband due to my father’s funeral but now he is back to work and I’m jobless therefore at home.

The kids woke up at 11am and although everything was just fine at first, they soon become very active and screaming at each other. Oh boy!!

One week ago my father died and today my mother came to my house to have lunch with us and spend the afternoon. Although very emotive when she meets someone that gives her condolences, but I’m sure soon she will overcome it.

At lunch time I had the visit of my ex-coworker, his wife and daughter. They…

Today my kids decided to go camping…in my dressing room.

Blankets, sleeping bags, pillows…everything on the floor. No tent but they have video games to play. It’s going to be an interesting night.

What the hell is that? It is what you are thinking, isn’t it?

I always forget to take pictures. I hate when that happens.

Last Winter my son’s bed went to my daughter’s room so that they were more cozy during the cold nights. This year we decided to do the opposite. As my son’s room it’s bigger we put my daughter’s bed on my son’s room. Well, my…

Well, kids are getting excited with Christmas and Christmas presents are a daily subject. From a guitar to a skate, from a Doctor Nenuco (doll) to a Skater Barbie this year we have a huge different from the last years. My son is not requesting very expensive presents. No…

I am an only child so no brothers or sisters. Although it was nice not to have to struggle over things with another child, I can say I was a very lonely child. That’s why I always said I would like to have two children of my own so that they could have what I never…

My husband just ended his two weeks holidays and tomorrow he is going back to work. The four of us had two weeks full time together and we had our higher and lower moments.

Having to cope with two kids with five years apart is not easy and can be really hard sometimes, but we managed…

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…

Last night my son sang and danced at the school party. The class was just adorable and wonderful on the singing and dancing. People liked them so much that they had to dance a second dance that was not scheduled. The second dance was preformed also by the all class and it was
