Crafting. Creating a little farm on paper.

I´m not the person who do a lot of crafts or things hand made, but I like a lot how other people enjoy doing crafting and to see what great things they can create. But, this weekend, I made an attempt to do a farm craft with Damian, almost because he loves animals, and in this way he learns a lot of things.

For this activity I needed: scissors, coloured paper, a big white paper, glue, printed paper with domestic animals.

Damian likes scissors, and to cut all the things, it was a really difficult task, as he didn´t let me cut anything with any scissors. So, I needed to cut all the shapes without him, that he couldn´t see me. I cut all the domestic animals that I have printed, then the shapes: of a house, a car, grass, sun. After preparing all together with Damian we created a real farm with animals and real farm life. I would like to say that this activity is a great time spent with your toddler, and it is an easy way to learn all the domestic animals, and colours.

Do it with your toddler, and you´ll see how much you will enjoy this activity :D:D:D

Girona - a place to go!

Last weekend we went on a getaway, not so far from Barcelona, a place that I think you have to go if you come to Barcelona. We decided that it would be great to visit a new place, and to spent some time within our little..BIG family.

Damian is one of the children who like to go on holidays, I think so, because when we go out he always accepts to stay on his pushing chair, the thing that he doesn't like if we go for walking. As well I like to go out for a day or two as it is easier to manage his energy and to accomplish all his wishes.

What about the food, now it is much easier as before, he eats almost all the things that we do, the only think I need is boiled water before he sleeps for his bottle.

Below you can see some fascinating pictures about this old city - GIRONA. But before I would like to share how we pack our bag for getaways.

BAG:

1. Diapers + wipes + changer

2. Bottle of water (and a big one, :))

3. Two or three pairs of clothes

4. A ball to play with, and other toys to play with in the car

5. of course his lovely music, or a disc with the songs that he knows if you don't want to listen all way long how he cries.

6. Food (not special food, but the things that he can eat alone, like biscuits, bread, etc)

this is not Girona, it is on our way back, great views

that's the reason I like getaways :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day my dear readers and dear mums!

I'm sure that even if you are not celebrating this beautiful tradition, all of you are thinking about their lovers, their family and friends. We are full of life, energy and big emotions in this day... but I wish you that this feeling to stay with you always as there is no reason to show your love only today.

This year is the first year when Damian is with us and I feel like my heart is beating twice as it is beating for my husband and as well for my son. He is our Cupidon, who shows us how much we love each other. I love my husband and I love my child.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!!!

We love our readers...
