    Baby Arthur's Room

    February 23, 2018 /

    Baby #3 room And since it's time to meet the new family member, then nothing fair to also spy on how the youngest's room was. Once again, I preferred to use most of the things I already had, coming from Alice and Diana's inheritance (see their little room here and here). The main furniture of the room, such as crib, drawer and rocking chair are in good condition yet and had no reason to change everything (just for aesthetic reasons). Anyway, we reorganized the rooms a little on the second floor and the baby stayed with the little room that was Diana and they are sleeping together in the environment…

    Tobogganing: activity in the Canadian winter

    February 7, 2018 /

    Alice has long been asking to go sledding or tobogganing – that is – what we call ski-ass for the intimates, to add more glamour… Haha. Gliding on a snow-covered hill is the principle of the thing. See a few other times we've been – in 2014 – here and here. It was the first time that year, since many of the weekends were too cold to practice this sport that obviously should be Olympic (haha), others had no fluffy snow, others someone was sick and could not go … Bestand that last weekend, the planets aligned and gave the perfect combination: fluffy snow, mild temperature (around -1ºC) and all…

    Half a day in Siena, Italy

    February 4, 2018 /

    Siena was on our way to Florence from Rome, so we decided to stop for a few hours. The drive is just over 2h and 30 minutes, and the scenery of Tuscany is fantastic. The city is a Unesco World Heritage Site and its beginning dates back to the age-old 900 BC. Every corner of the city was charming, and you do not need a car to get around the city. This is why we parked in a public parking lot just 10 minutes from everything. Piazza del Campo and the Duomo di Siena (or Siena Cathedral) are the main attractions, and located about five minutes apart, in the middle…

    Living in Canada: downtown or suburbs?

    January 16, 2018 /

    Like many of the mornings, coldarctic style, super typical of the Canadian winter, but especially this year, I found myself thinking how suburban our routine is. We live west of the center of the Canadian capital in the Kanata district and rarely need to get out of here for the usual things of our day-to-day lives.And to say, ever since we got to Ottawa, we’ve never lived downtown. We lived in a neighborhood called Britannia for the first few months, then we lived in the suburbs of Gatineau, in the neighboring province of Québec, and then we moved back to Ontario, to Kanata neighborhood where we are to this day.When…

    A day in Vatican, Italy

    January 12, 2018 /

    Our fourth day in Rome was dedicated to a visit to the Vatican. We booked all day for the tour there, but in fact we were able to see a few more things after visiting the Vatican Museum, which we had bought tickets in advance online, St. Peter’s Basilica and take a general tour of the area. I knew almost nothing about visiting the Vatican until I researched the subject before the trip. One thing I didn’t know was that access to the Vatican is not controlled, meaning I had the idea that it was monitored/paid for. What is really needed is the ticket to the Vatican Museum, one of…

    Our dogs in the Canadian winters

    Dogs on the snow

    I have received some questions about how to take care of our furry kids in the Canadian winter, especially on the colder days and the snowy days, so behold, this post comes to tell a little of our experience with our dogs in the cold weather here in Ontario, Canada. Dexter and Eddie were born in Canada, so they’ve known the cold their whole lives so far, but of course, since they are small in size, they are more susceptible to low temperatures. In general, even if it is a really cold day, life goes on, just as for people. But I can tell you, they kind of hibernate during…
