Thursday we went to Kidzania. I believe United States doesn’t have this park. It is a city for children aged 3 to 15 where they are treated as adults. It has everything a normal city has: supermarket, post office, hospital, school, travel agency, nightclub, etc.. When the children enter the park they receive Kiddos (Kidzania Money)…

Shopping for clothes is a sentence I usually don’t say. I can’t remember the last time I got out to buy clothes. Why am I buying clothes? Because we are attending a wedding on September 5th. We haven’t had a wedding for three years now and we have no formal clothes to dress. I have jeans…

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.

Birthday parties have been a constant these…

I didn’t mentioned this before but last week, Monday February 1st it was my son’s 11th birthday. On Monday we bought a small cake just for the four of us and Saturday he invited a few friends and had a small party.

11 years…uau…he is so grown up, I’m so old…

My Christmas Shopping is done!! Much less gifts than last year, less money spent, a positive shopping.

This year it’s evident the crisis. People are saving, cutting to minimum the money they spend. The city Christmas lights are only used in the main avenue (Red and Golden lighting)…

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…

Yesterday we went to the hypermarket and there were some volunteers given informative papers and requesting help for the local Animal Protection Association. I couldn’t be indifferent to this appeal and…

Tuesday 22th is the European Car Free Day and all environmental friendly vehicles are welcome to circulate in the city.  There are related activities scheduled for that day but for me it won’t make a difference. My kids have school, I have to work so we have to use our car. I can’t participate…
