Weekending

It´s raining again after a long time of sunny days and although I don´t like it , it feels we needed this fresh , clean air .
Walking around our home, Camila and her dad found out these wild blackberries, hidden in the woods, what a treasure! We don´t have to go far away to enjoy the simple things in life and it´s a fabulous thing to see the beauty in the baby´s eyes, too...

And we stayed home all the Saturday afternoon playing games, listening to the music , talking silly things , drinking some tea ...

Camila played with her wooden blocks drawing on the paper her own town and then constructing with the blocks on it and she really loves playing with them! And of course, everytime she is observed by her little brother.



I do love our afternoons at home...
And you, what have you done in your weekend afternoon?

How about pink and blue?

This cute tiny little bag came out of my sewing studio after my daughter brought some shells and seeds from the beach last weekend and she asked me if I could make something that could keep them safe from baby hands and dust.
I´ve made these for her some years ago and I didn´t realize how fun and easy it was! So in a few minutes I made this one , I wouldn´t have enough time ( baby´s nap, you never know when he will wake up!) so I wrote down on a piece of fabric the name of the beach and date when she picked up the shells with a permanent pen and stitched its fabric on the bag .
She will be surprised today when she comes back from school!

I guess I chose this fabric for the many things pink and blue that I am surrounded of..

Flowers and...

oh, and these cute little baby toes!!!

Thanks for stopping by!I am so glad that people take the time to read my blog and also more touched when you take your precious time to leave a comment, full of kindness and I just want to say THANK YOU for that!!

Sometimes, away from my laundry pile...

Birds are everywhere around my house, these were blue but I couldn´t get closer...


New colors decorate my garden and sometimes it feels like we´re entering Spring

Nature : : so beautiful

And now inside our house: :

A small sculpture my girl made at her aunt´s pottery studio , the little canvas was painted some weeks ago and she brought from the beach where some native indians were making these tiny wooden animals, so cute!

This Dragonfly is sooo beautiful , I love it! ( actually it´s Camila´s) .


Last Sunday Camila picked some shells and stones and seeds at the beach, more nature inside our home!

Wishing you all lots of joy and love for this coming weekend!

Me and my Dad

My Dad lives in Japan and I always think how amazing it is to have all the technology to keep us connected so close using Skype or e-mails. I remember 20 years ago, it was so expensive to talk to someone living so far and when we spoke on the telephone we could listen our own voice and that was so boring... Nowadays I can talk to my Dad as he was on the same town, it´s so loud and clear !Amazing!!

We talk sometimes and he sends me images , photographs from there and I´d like to share one of them with you.

The one above is at my house and sometimes this cute little squirrel appears right in front of me when he gets down from the tree and the next photo is from my Dad and I love this one because of the Mt.Fuji which I think it ´s so beautiful . The clear water from the river and the blue sky is something I miss from his hometown. And I miss him too but it´s always so great to hear his voice on the phone.
Tomorrow my daily routine will change, my daughter´s going back to school , her piano lessons begins and I am pretty excited to pick her up at school again after a long time staying home.

Sending you lots of love and welcoming August!

Holiday

It´s winter but we are so lucky that the sun is warm and we can spend these holidays under the blue sky and some lovely moments just the three of us.


Some cookies to warm up our afternoon...

In the morning, inside home:
Baby C is discovering new things to play with: his own hands!

It´s been such a wonderful experience and lots of learning to spend the day with a baby and a 7 year old girl. They can´t play together so, sometimes there are some difficulties that I must deal with but anyway my days have been very exciting!

Wishing you a lovely weekend and lots of joy to all of you!!

He & She

It´s been a long time that I don´t come here to share with you my days but I can tell you , it´s been quite a busy time down here!

Our little girl has become a big sister and she has been very patient with her little brother who doesn´t know how to communicate but crying . We are learning this new language and so is she! For two months she acted as an adult but suddenly she couldn´t stand it anymore and she cried a lot and she expressed her true feelings about this new boy who is taking a lot of her Mom´s time. And I really miss my moments with her and only with her... And I wonder how will I manage this from now on...


But most of the time she is like this, very happy, full of joy and always playing and running and doing something around our home and I love looking at her with my little one in my arms.


I wish one day she will understand how much I love them both... I really do!!

Thank you for your visit , I wish you all a very joyful day!!!

Welcome May!

I´ve been spending these Autumn days at home, cooking a lot, organizing and taking care of my little almost 2 month baby.


And outside I see the beautiful nature offering lots of amazing fruits , I wish I had more time to pick them all up and maybe make some jam and give to my friends... Well, not this time.



This is the view from my window, I can hear two or three blue birds ( I don´t know their names) playing or trying to get some juicy bite from the fruits, I like that!

Almost everyday there´s a blue sky that I wanted to take pictures so I can look at them at night and I can remember how great was this day...

The coconut tree is full of these little fruits and squirrels and birds share the food in the morning, peacefully...

And this little boy is growing day after day and I know I will miss every minute of these days...



Wishing you a lovely start to this beautiful month: May
