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 and t-shirts, my kids have casual clothes, my husband jeans and t-shirts too.
Yesterday night we started looking for clothes and shoes but we only managed to buy one pair of shoes for my son as well as a shirt. Today we continued our journey and after several stores I managed to buy a dress for me. It was on sale so half the price and I confess, it is the first dress I’m going to wear in about ten years. We also bought a dress and shoes for my daughter.
Despite the fact that we were shopping under 104F, overall we progressed with our shopping.

My kids have been asking me to go to the movies for quite some time, so I decided to choose an interesting movie and the three of us went to the Cinema (daddy at work…).
So, we went to watch Nanny McPhee Returns
This time, Nanny McPhee arrives to help a harried young mother who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war, though she uses her magic to teach the woman’s children and their two spoiled cousins five new lessons.
I found the movie quite interesting and helpful when it comes to teaching the kids five essential rules:
I have been teaching my kids these rules since they were little so it was quite impressive to see that expressed in a movie. They were also excited to see what was going to disappear next on Nanny’s face.
For those who don’t know, Nanny helps families in trouble when it comes to make the kids follow rules. When she arrives she has five special things on her face and each of one will disappear each time the kids follow one of the rules.
Nanny Mcphee special mote is: I’ll be around when you think you don’t need me and I will be gone when you want me to stay.
This is an excellent movie to be watched by the entire family.
One of the great features of this movie this time was that it was doubled to Portuguese (our language) so my youngest was able to appreciate the movie at its fullest.
Have you watched the Nanny McPhee Returns movie? Did you like it?
When I wake up in the morning what I first hear is the sound of the helicopters. This sound continues in and out during the day. No, we are not under fire, but the wood are. All over the country there are hundreds of fires consuming our pine trees, entire hoods, protected parks, eucalyptus and everything green. This is the truth…and …I’m sad.
Everybody knows that trees, hoods, forests, are the lungs of our planet but, it seems some people just don’t care. Green areas are decreasing at a high speed rate because, during Summer, pyromaniacs take action. They take advantage of heat waves and high temperatures to put their sickness into action. When they are caught, they go to jail a few months, sometimes only a few days because most of them are considered “not capable”. These people need treatment but they are released and they do it again.
I’m not saying we grab a badge printer and make an ID badge saying “pyromaniac person” and make the person use it, but they shouldn’t be released without proper psychological evaluation and treatment.
Some people just don’t get it. They are destroying the best we have, the things that give us oxygen, the lungs of the planet. I might sound dramatic but, I’m mad, I’m angry and I wish I could do something to stop the tree killing. We have beautiful green hoods where we can walk with our children and show them how beauty the nature is, how healthy the air we breath there is but, some people are taking that away from us.
How can I explain my children why this happen? How am I going to explain them that their future is being destroyed?
I have to thank all the firefighters and volunteers that are working non stop on woods on fire. At least two European countries (Italy ans Spain) have sent us two Canadair planes each to help us fight this “war”.
Here I am for another:

I must confess, I have an annoying daughter! Yeap. When she puts something on her mind she just insists, insists and keeps insisting. Sometimes the stubborn side is overcome by the annoying side.
When it is related to something she wants on that moment, I know she wants a “yes” instead of multiple “no”. But when it is related to something she will do some time in the future, it’s terrible to hear her for days and days and days…
