Ever since I first came here people have often asked me why in the world I would leave the United States to come to this small town in Italy – with the unspoken meaning being that things are much better there than here. Of course we all know the old adage about the grass always [...]

Asilo nido – yes or no?
I’m still debating this topic – with myself that is. We’re lucky in the fact that we have an asilo nido (day care) here in town but, since I work from home, I originally never considered that I would have the need to use it. Lately though we’ve been thinking of taking Luigi there a [...]
Back again
Vacation – or should I say “stay-cation” – is now over. Sometimes I think it’s better to actually plan to go somewhere, that way you really do get a vacation, but we managed to enjoy ourselves all the same. In August there is always something to do locally. We managed to go to several sagras [...]
Vacation….
I’ve decided to take a much needed vacation. Every other year I kept working even though O was on vacation, but this year I’m actually taking time off myself. So, until the 24th I’ll be relaxing. Happy August!
I want some of that
Maybe it’s just me, but I wonder why people have to always offer stuff to kids, especially when it’s something that they can’t or shouldn’t have. For example, people like to hold a glass of wine or beer up to their lips and then, when they make a move as if to drink it they [...]

Fooling yourself
OK, so I really did think that when Luigi got to this age I would have more time. After all, he should be able to play by himself, right? Ha ha ha ha ha! I think I actually have less time. He’s a very demanding child. I admit, I had pictured him sitting in his [...]
Like a shot in the…
Yesterday and today I had to do one of the scariest things I’ve ever done in my life. Well, it was scary for me anyway. I know there are tons of people who do it daily, and several times a day, but just the thought of having to do it myself made me nervous. Maybe [...]
Where did my brain go?
I’ve read about “mommy brain”, but I never really thought much about it. Ever since Luigi was born though, I can’t remember anything. I used to be the kind of person who could remember everyone’s phone number, knew to the penny how much money I had in my purse and at the bank, remembered what [...]
