The country is still very much in the grips of winter, but the evenings are getting lighter and on the right day you can even catch a scent of spring in the air. Modern life moves so quick these days and when you have kids to look after the days seem to pass in the blink of an eye. Summer …

So far I’m surviving this week alone with the kids although yesterday it was quite a busy days. A neighbor boy and girls came to our house to play in the pool. I must confess that I like to have the kids here, enjoying each other, playing and having fun but it’s really noisy and I come to I point I can’t hear them anymore.

The days are getting warmer and the need to be outdoors is increasing. However due to my father’s hospitalization / death / and all the paperwork we have to take care when a close relative dies, I can say that I’m exhausted. Emotionally and physically.

The Autumn weather refused to show up and therefore we have been having hot dry days. Usually at this time of the year kids go to school and at the end of the afternoon they come home and stay inside. Due to the good weather, the routine changed…they arrive home and they go play outside.

I luckily live near a …

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 slided over and over …

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 Thriller from Michael Jackson. Imagine, the class, …

Having a swimming pool at home means a lot of fun. But…there is always a but eh?

Having a swimming pool at home also means that I might have a lot of unexpected guests like neighbors, family members or my kids friends.

Having a swimming pool at home means that my kids have fun without us leaving the house.

Having …

Before going to the mountain cabin we spend a whole day in the Zoo. We had to drive to the capital, find our way through the traffic to the Zoo, buy expensive Zoo tickets and there we go.

We had been there 5 years ago with Dani but as he was 4 at the time this was like a first time …

My vacation is over!

I’m glad we went to the Camping Park, we had a great time away from the traffic, busy streets, neighbors knocking at our door, malls and specially the house work.

This was our vacation house for 5 days. Two bedrooms, bathroom with shower, kitchen and living room, TV, fridge and a fan.

We spend a …

Today it will be the last day I will have access to Internet. Tomorrow morning we are leaving for a few days out of here, I’m really looking forward to it.

The Laptop will remain at home and my cell phone provider doesn’t provide Internet service so I won’t be able to check my email or read blogs.

I hope …

My kids were requesting it for a long time so last Friday we had a Circus in town and the three of us (dad is not very fond of Circus) were there. Dani went to the Circus five or six years ago but he doesn’t remember it so I can say this was the first time for both.

I was …

Big decision. As we have the beach 15 minutes away from here and we don’t have money to go to the south of the country where is warmer and better weather, we had decided to spend our vacation at home.

Camping was not on my plans, I have one very active kid and my daughter is only 4 so camping …
