.:P52 - Week 21:.

Week 21 - Favorites

It's hard picking one thing as your favorite... my favorite flower (daffodils) is an impossibility at this time...
but there's just one thing that does not change, my favorite thing to do is learn new things (specially learning how to do pretty things)...
ok, I'm known to start doing sth, discover I can do it well and then dropping it altogether... guess the challenge of sth new is the best part...

my take on my favorite past time this week? learning to decorate cookies with royal icing... (everything home-made)... ^^

.:P52 - Week 20:.

Week 20 - Mothers

this week was my first mothers' day as a mom, and the second without my mom... let's say bittersweet...

It's wonderful to observe how mothers are when surrounded by their offspring, it's a look in the eyes, the way they move to embrace the little ones, the sweet song that spring from their lips... it's magic...

P52 with Kent Weakley

.:P52 . Week 19:.

Week 19 - still life

First of all, for impeding reasons darcy @ my3boybarians is not hosting the P52 project anymore, and the role goes to Kent Weakley
That being said, let's have a quick language lesson, shall we? Both in Portuguese (Natureza morta - Mother Language) and in Italian (Natura morta - Home Language) today's topic can be roughly translated as "Dead Nature"... and this is how my husband affectionately calls our plants comes summer time - yes, most of our vegetation doesn't even make it to fall... It was just fitting to post a pic garden related, as it's gardening season AND I haven't killed any of our greenery (yet)...



Finally, so that our plants can hope, this year I have a new helper...


Let's see if she is more of a green thumb than her mother...

See you next week (and maybe so will our flowers)... ;)

.:P52 - Week 18:.

Week 18 - Fiesta or Siesta


So, we've made it past a quarter of an year and I didn't even mention that... I'd say: better late than never... on our way to half year.. YAY!!!


This past week there was a celebration in my husband's family: little emma's first communion... When in rome do as the romans, so in italy the catholic religious rites (if I may call them that) are celebrated with a big lunch party...
Sweet little pea dressed up for the occasion, but wasn't quite sure whether to enjoy it or have a long nap...


both shots from sunday with dh's blackberry (I know preparing a baby and its stuff makes you forget the good camera sometimes, but hey, I can live with that...)





Thanks to darcy for the little push towards registering nice moments at least once a week... ^^
