Hi Everyone! As chilly autumn days settle here in Sicily, I’m starting to cook more soups. On cold days, soup just feels good, doesn’t it? Second, our 7 month old LOVES this soup, so I purée a cup or two for her and we eat the rest. It’s so easy, delicious, and healthy. Come[…]
Hi Everyone! Well, this is another post on baby sleep sacks since our 7 month old continues to kick restlessly! I had to go for a version that she can ctually wear because my other pull off version wasn’t cutting it. Rebecca moves and kicks around so much she can produce energy! So thinking as[…]
Hi Everyone! Well, I must confess….I wash too many dishes. No, really, I wash way too many dishes. You know what that means? It means I DRY too many dishes! I am one of those people that grab a new “anything” (knife, spoon, bowl, etc….) when cooking. Unlike my mom who can cook an entire[…]
Hi Everyone! Just look at it…my embarrassing toothbrush I use for cleaning tile grout in my kitchen….all those grease stains that get caught between the tiles above the stove….embarrassing, I tell you. And I clean the back splash every time I cook! So now, what am I going to do with this awful stickiness on[…]
Hi Everyone! If you love to craft and scrapbook like me, you learn to get pretty creative if you live abroad. Craft stores are pretty difficult to find and there is only so much room in a suitcase to haul things back to Italy with me. Now, along the years, I’ve discovered that we have[…]
Hi Everyone! Today, after I fed our 7 month old (no small task!), cooked lunch (pasta soup with left overs from my mother-in-law’s left overs…yes, there is such a thing….), washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen (….how does it get so dirty with only 2 1\2 people?), and collected the laundry off the line, you would[…]
Hi Everyone =) Ahhh. Another sewing trick….makes our sewing lives easier, doesn’t it? Today I want to show you how I hemmed my pyjamas. Ask me why I had to hem them? No, they were not too tall when my mom bought them for me when she came over to Sicily from California. Actually[…]
Hi Everyone! It’s olive season here in Sicily! It’s the time of the year where many families who have olive groves gather and collect the olives off the trees in order to have them pressed into olive oil. For those of you who are olive oil connoisseurs, you know it doesn’t get better than this.[…]
Hi Everyone! A long while back, as I revamped an old ugly brown table lamp I had. It was well beyond it’s beauty and I decided it needed a face lift =) It was so easy that I wanted to share it with you….you won’t believe how cute a simple lamp can turn out! Here’s[…]
Hi Everyone! I love ribbons…they are so versatile and you can do a million things with them. A while back, I started embroidering….I love the look. Since I enjoy all kinds of crafting and sewing, I thought I’d try something new with embroidery….using ribbons. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The look is gorgeous and makes[…]
