I stepped on American land on a very hot day of July. Everything seemed like a dream: the airport, the hotel, blue FLEX t-shirts everywhere. There was a very semnificative song to accompany us during the long way: The famous FLEX t-shirts "We are going to the United States, To have a lot of fun, To make a lot of friends..." There were so many dreams, hopes and fears in the air, we all still couldn't believe it was real. But it was! We all were heading to the greatest adventure of our life, at that time. Imagine a bunch of 15-16 years old teenagers who were out in the world for the first time. Moreover, it was not just a regular trip, it was a one year adventure which was promissing so many interesting things. I was in the 1st out of 3 groups of students who were to leave Moldova that summer. being first, was both frightening and exciting at the same time. We did not know what to expect. We have seen America in the movies for so many times, but we wer...

Hello everyone, I am sorry I’ve forgotten about blogging for a while. I am trying to spend all my time with baby Oliver. Sometimes I don't have another choice 😉. Babies do need a lot of care and attention. So today i want to share with you my impressions about our first big trip together. I was telling you in one of my previous posts that we were about to take the plane very soon, so we did. We went in Moldova for a couple of weeks, and it was a vacation we really looked forward to for so many reasons. The most important reason was introducing our new family member to the others. I must admit that the trips before were so much easier. I had to take care only about myself and my stuff. I could rest well the night before the flight, and reach my destination without too much trouble. ( Oh good old days :) ) This time it was so different! First of all, I had to pack more things : baby clothes, toys, blankets, medicine for emergencies and so on. Then i was worrying all t...

My dear friends,  It is Thursday again and i really like the idea of writing throwback posts. Therefore i will do it again. Today i want to tell you about a day we have spent on the beach. Our 1st beach day for this season and of course baby Oliver's 1st time in his life!!! Those who know me well are aware of the fact that i am a summer lover; i like the Sun, long days and the trips to the beach. Although the sea is not far away from where we live, we cannot go there as often as we would like to. And everyday we go, i fall inlove with the view.   But I knew that this trip would be special because we have a baby now. And everything we do with him becomes SPECIAL . We just couldn’t wait to show him the wonderful Liguria with its golden beaches and blue sea. I must admit that I was a little nervous about his reaction to a longer ride and to the heat. To our greatest delight, Oliver seemed to enjoy this adventure and he was looking around to discover so many things....

Hello everyone, How are you doing today? I don’t usually do #throwbackthursdays , but since it’s Thursday and I have some nice memories to share, I have decided to make an exception. I have been living in Italy for 1 and a half year, and i came here for so many times before. I had seen so many beautiful places, but somehow i never visited Milano before. Even this time we went there because we needed to perfect some documents.   I was really excited about this trip (even though i was 8 months pregnant). We woke up at 4 am and it was not an easy ride. However, we managed to do everything, and of course we went to see the famous Duomo di Milano . Unfortunately it was a gloomy day and there was no sign of Sun in the sky. There are so many things i liked about this city. They call it the capital of fashion for a reason. You can see people of different ages, nations and styles. They are in perpetual movement and seem very very busy. Seeing this, somehow made me go back in...

Dear friends, In one of my previous posts i was talking about food and i promised to post some recipes that i like. Therefore today i will share the recipe of one of my favorite pies - Berries Pie. I have to confess that before getting married i seldom cooked or baked. Although my head was full of ideas, i never had the time and desire to do it. Well, the things changed after the wedding, and i started to try so many new recipes. The things got really serious when i found out i was pregnant. I don't know why, but i suddenly discovered my love for pastry, or as they call it in Italian "pasticceria". I became baking wonderful desserts (not too sophisticated though, I am not that good yet ) and i was so proud of the results. Even my husband was surprised, so i didn't need any other motivation to keep going. So, let's get back to business. Here are the ingredients that you need for a delicious Berries Pie: - 4 eggs - 200g sugar - 250g ricotta cheese  - baki...

My dear friends,  I have good news, SPRING is here!!! Not that you did not know, but I had to mention it one more time 😁. So last Sunday it was April 1st and everyone was celebrating Easter here. We decided to visit our beloved Langa. I've already posted about that place before.( see post ) It is so special for both of us, and unfortunately the pictures cannot describe its real beauty. One must see it with his own eyes in order to understand what i am talking about.  Although we've been there for so many times, this time was different, because we took baby Oliver with us. Honestly, I was a little nervous because it was our first real trip longer than two hours and of course I had to take half of the house with me 😏. I was worried about Oliver's behavio r, and the way he will react to such a long day. Well, i am happy to admit now that he did a GREAT job. He is a car lover and he can stay inside it for hours, and we are very excited about this since we love to tr...

Hello there, A month is not such a big deal - someone would say. But for me it is a VERY BIG DEAL , since it is our baby boy we are talking about. I cannot believe that one month is already gone, I really wish i could stop the time for a while, so i could enjoy more his sweetness. I cannot believe that a couple of months ago I was waiting for him but I had no idea about babies and how to take care of them (I am still not much of an expert, but i am learning). During a month i have discovered a lot of things, about babies, motherhood and parenthood in general. People say that your life changes totally when babies appear, and i can agree with them now. Here are some changes that have happened in our lives during one month: - The nights when we could sleep for 8-9 hours without any interruption are gone, too bad i could not sleep more before; - Breastfeeding is not always roses and butterflies in your stomach (as they describe it in books, DO NOT believe the books), the first day...
