Diana | 3 years old
Diana 3 years old Behold, our second princess completed three years this past Christmas. Even after three years, I still haven't gotten used to the fact that she chose the 25th to come into the world. This time is already full of things and since she arrived, we've added her birthday celebration too, of course. That year, we chose to have a little party, super intimate, the next day, not to miss the date in "white". Diana every day proves to us that she is a big girl already, away from the baby stage. We understand 100% of the things she talks about, both in English and Portuguese, and she…

Retrospective 2017
Photo of almost the whole family – missed dexter – last day of 2017 First day of the new year! 2018 arrived keeping the friaca that settled almost 2 weeks ago here by Ottawa. The temperatures did not mark anything above -20ºC and the thermal sensation was in the negative thirty for several days (including today). But anyway, go to the cold, today is the day that well that flood of things. Memories of what was the past year and expectations for the coming year. 2018 promises to be unforgettable, especially by the new member who arrives there in the first quarter. After that, we don't really know what awaits…

Our Christmas traditions
We are there two days from Christmas practically and with each passing year, we are adding some traditions to our end of the year, more specifically related to Christmas. For six years we really cared about this, before the kids, the Christmas tree was the most we cared about, besides, of course, the exchange of gifts. This year, however, I notice that our traditions have been taking security and I see that they have come to stay. Some have been with us forever and others we adopt here in Canada. Here's the list of things that are our Christmas traditions this year: CHRISTMAS TREE It was their job to put…

Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa
Science and Technology Museum – Ottawa Now in early December we decided to check out the newly reopened museum in Ottawa, the Canada Science and Technology Museum. We had already made a brief visit there, a few years before the renovation (in 2013) – see some photos here. The area on the outside is not fully ready, after all, the museum was re-opened to the public only 2 weeks ago, but inside, everything seemed to be in place. Some of the museum's attractions have been reused and others are unheard of. On Saturday, when we went, it was very crowded, with many families. I think it's very interesting to visit…

Our top five Rome attractions
Rome is one of the oldest cities in the world and its history goes back 28 centuries. The city now has over 2 million inhabitants, with more than 4 million in the metropolitan area. But you can still feel like you’re back in time when strolling through its narrow streets, or visiting some of the old buildings around the city. If I look back at all the places we’ve been to, I would say Rome is on our top 5. Our Top Five Attractions Coliseum I will start the post with the most famous attraction in Rome – the Coliseum. Even if you’ve been there before (like myself), it still…

Tour of Europe 2017 – general tips
We had the opportunity to visit some more new cities for our travel map and revisit some others on our most recent trip, this time through Europe, in October of that year. We passed 3 countries (or 5, if you count the Vatican and Monaco), passed through 14 cities and slept in 9 different places. Our trip was planned with little advance until, counting the number of days and destinations (as usually happens with us), so I confess that we did not have everything annotated, certain itineraries and tours previously booked. Some main sights, we booked over the internet some time in advance (I think what was the most time…
