Mia's birthday is during high holiday season in Brazil (July), so her Mommy usually doesn't throw a big birthday bash as many kids are out of town.

To compensate she decided to throw a big Halloween Bash in her lovely garden with incredible arts and decoration by Maria Mello/Infantaria. It was a pleasure to do the sweets!

Happy Halloween Mia!

Estela turned three on Saturday. Her favorite princess is Aurora. But she changes her mind now and again. So all the princesses are in attendance on her big day, with a giant castle on her cake. And lots of pink, of course.
Happy Birthday Estela!

Why I haven't Posted....

I intended to post while we were away for the holiday weekend. But the internet signal was weak and the sun was bright. And I am happy for the excuse. My children needed to eat sand and lick salty ocean water from their lips, shed the city kid shell and forget their parents have jobs.

A few highlights:
1. Georgia screaming (at the resort pool): "Daddy, I peed in the pool!"
2. Sebastian is in his "Mommy might disappear phase" and earned the nickname agarradinho. Think of those fuzzy, adorable animals that hug your pencil. (I am the pencil.) And I'm not complaining.
3. My husband babysat while I got a my first facial since I became a Mom, the ever observant Georgia asking me why my skin was glowing.
4. I am not sure what makes my son look more mischievious. The gap between his upper two teeth or the (already) chip in the upper right tooth?

And we drank buckets of coconut water and went to sleep at the same time as our children: down at dusk and up at dawn. Ready to play all day.


Alice is one!

Angelic Alice turned one last Saturday. Her party decoration was focused on all things girlie sweet complete with a tutu and wings for the little fairy to fly into her party and charm the guests.

Happy Birthday Alice!
