We’re back with a very much overdue school post! Welcome back to part 6 of my Back to School series where I share our experiences with the Italian school system and do a small comparison between Italy and the US, specifically Texas. This year, we’ve begun our new adventures in Scuola Media (Middle School). As … More Back to School: Middle School
My initial Covid post was meant to be published in September right as school had started but with so many changes, I wasn’t sure if I should update the post or keep it as is. I decided to just keep as I had originally intended and to do a follow up post. I have been … More Back to School: Covid19 Edition pt. 2
I didn’t think I would be adding to my “Back to School” series until next year when my oldest goes to Scuola Media (Middle School). However, Covid-19’s plans to totally screw up the entire world means I get to document another exciting moment in our lives. February 21, 2020 was the last time my girls … More Back to School: Covid19 Edition

It’s hard to believe that we now have a second grader, kindergartner, and a pre-kindergartner! Every year that passes, the things I thought were strange have now become normal to me. So … More Back to school: ITALY vs USA school supplies

While it’s only been a month since my last post, I feel like it’s been longer. I’ve tried to keep up but Life happens. My parents came to visit and I had good intentions to document their visit but Life happens. When they come to visit it’s like Christmas. New clothes for the girls, orders … More When LIFE happens…
I’ve been a mom for almost 7 years now and this is the time I have been waiting for. My girls are very close in age. They are 6, 4, & 3. I have spent these last years with a kid attached to me and while I have enjoyed it, I couldn’t wait for the … More Transitions
*This post was started a few months ago but I’ve just now been able to edit the video. We love watching YouTube videos. What’s up Moms is an obvious favorite and the girls love Cool School.
