Proof that exercise and diet do make a huge difference. Last year I was eating better and exercising more than this year. I lost 11 pounds last year, gained them all back this year.

In Brazil, we celebrate Children’s Day on October 12th. On that day, kids get gifts, just like at birthday or Christmas, so it’s a very likable date for the little ones.

I’m not a great photographer of anything, what to say of animals, who would typically move and try to hide… So I sort of need friendly animals that will ‘pose’ to me. The travel that I did that provided me with friendly animals the best was in 2003, when we went to the Olympic Peninsula,… Read more

“My friend invited me to participate on a 5k run with her next week. “That’s cool! Are you joining her?” “I don’t know yet, 5k sounds hard“. “Hard? Oh! C’mom! 5k is piece of cake! “Piece of cake? Are you nuts? It’s hell out there at this time of the year. At the end of… Read more

This will be a very short post, to show a dialogue I had with my daughter last year when she was about 3,5 years old. And it will show how metaphors sometimes do not work with kids… ” Sweetheart, if you eat too much candy now you won’t be hungry for dinner”. “But I’m eating just… Read more

I’m possessive. Not to much with objects, but certainly with people. Possessive and protective. Don’t anyone dare to hurt one of my loved ones! But the little creatures I feel the most as being mine, in the way that not only they were made by me (together with Hubby) but also that they are the ones that I love the most… Read more

I grew up in a house where we were a family of 5 people living on it (mommy, daddy, big sis, me, little bro) + a maid, her kids, a caretaker, once a week a cleaning person, and several dogs. And I used to share a room with my sister. That all meant that one… Read more

I work on a big corporation, which is associated with United Way. That means that every year, at the end of September the company, together with many other companies in the area, donates its employee’s time to do volunteer work. And this day we call Day of Caring. I’ve been participating on the Day of… Read more

Monday evening, as my husband took the kids upstairs for a bath, I started preparing dinner for the family. Then I looked outside and saw a huge fiery sunset. The sun was a big orange/red ball as it set behind the trees cross the street. I could not resist, took my camera and escaped to take… Read more

Human beings are social animals. We need to be always surrounded by people. Sometimes on small gatherings with friends and family, some other times on big events with lots of people you don’t know (maybe just yet) around you. Here are a few pictures of big events with huge gatherings of people: This… Read more

Although we’re still in Summer (barely, actually. Last days!), Fall has been showing its colors for a few weeks now. And I mean literally. Because that’s one of the things Fall (or Autumn, if you wish) is about right? Colors! Colors and fallen leaves. I come from a place where we have only 2 seasons:… Read more

This week, Ailsa‘s Travel Theme Photo Challenge is Texture. I love texture and have some need of feeling it. My husband thinks it’s funny that I need to touch everything that has a different texture. And I do need! Otherwise, it’s no fun. 😉 I also try to take pictures of things I think has an interesting… Read more

My setup was not as fancy as his. I used a CD, a fuzzy scarf, water, flashlight app on my Windows Phone as a source of spot light (yeah… lame, but that’s what I had 😉… Read more

I love emails! Just love them. Although I was considered and extrovert when we took the Myers-Briggs training, and although every single person on Earth who knows me agrees to that, when it comes to talk seriously I get shy. And that’s where and when email comes in handy. I can say anything to anyone in… Read more
