It’s early Sunday morning and I’m am just hours away from the deadline for the May DolceVitaBloggers Link up! I sadly haven’t been able to make the deadlines in the past so I’m pretty excited that I finally got a post done in time! (even if it’s 2am!) I have been thinking about this post … More Italian regions I love
We did it! We survived our busiest summer yet! We have just returned from our annual trip to Bellaria and instead of writing another post with lots of pictures, I decided to do a Vlog. I will warn you now that talking is minimal as my approach to making it was more for the kids. … More Our family vacation 2017: The Vlog
On a hot Florentine night, after witnessing a lovers quarrel on the street, we stopped at Gelateria dei Neri. The place was crowded so I took that as a sign that it was going to be good. My niece and sister in law were still on their Granita kick but I knew my girls wouldn’t … More Giro del Gelato: Gelateria dei Neri
Next up on my Florence recap, is another Gelateria I heard a lot about. On our last night in Florence we found ourselves crossing the Arno for dinner. Before going back we decided to get our gelato at Gelateria della Passera. It’s a tiny little shop located in Piazza della Passera so don’t let that … More Giro del Gelato: Gelateria della Passera
While planning our trip, we decided to take a day trip to Pisa since it’s just an hour away. Because it’s so close, there’s no real problem with taking the kids. One thing I realized is that if you have the option, take a picnic lunch and eat at Piazza dei Miracoli. There are so … More Pisa through my lens
One of the first things I did when I started planning my visit to Florence was to find out where to go for amazing gelato. I have high standards and I do NOT go just anywhere. The problem with visiting touristy cities in the summertime is that it’s super hot and you just want something … More Giro del Gelato: il Procopio
Florence… or Firenze as it is known in Italian is one of those cities that everyone and their dog dreams of going to and to be honest… it’s not a city I love. My first visit was in 2009 with my sister in law. You can read about it here. (please excuse the overly saturated … More Florence with kids: An honest opinion
It’s Springtime and that means that everything is in bloom. We’ve survived the winter, made it through the February blues and are itching to get out into the sun! One of my favorite events happens every year in April and that is the Messer Tulipano in Pralormo. Pralormo is located 25km southeast of Torino. One … More Messer Tulipano
It’s wintertime and while this year’s weather is absolutely bonkers, we’ve had a few cold spells. It’s during these cold months that Carlo and I tease each other about how we much we miss summer, or more specifically…. the beach. As I mentioned in the previous post, I gave up “relaxing” too much to be … More Our Family Vacation…2016 (part 5- Surviving the beach)
Bellaria in the province of Rimini deserves it’s own post. Like a proper post. Last year we didn’t spend much time away from the beach so we made sure to explore it this year. One of our favorite things to do in Bellaria or let alone anywhere in Emilia Romagna is to eat a Bombolone. … More Our Family Vacation…2016 (part 4- The City)
