Spent the day island hopping on Lago Maggiore with aifsabroad and this very cool kid ✌🏻

No better way to end the month of September and transition to fall weather! 

Have you been before? I feel like this is an undervalued place to go when visiting Italy from abroad - but it’s A MUST! Simply stunning ✨

Memories of our summer in Puglia ✨

Couldn’t help but share one last summer memory before we jump into the fall 🍂 

Puglia is our second home in Italy and a place that brings us so much joy. We came back the summer exhausted (because hello two kids under 5 🤪) but with full hearts and beautiful family photos to put up in the new house!

Grazie to vittoriacintoli_family_stories for capturing these memories for us ❤️

Olivia’s first day of school 🥹

We started the “inserimento” process that they use here in Italy where for the first two weeks a parent stays with their baby for a few hours, adding an extra few hours each day until the baby is comfortable at their school/daycare and ok to be left there alone 

Today Olivia and I spent 3 hours at school and she met her little classmates. First she sat and stared at them and her teachers with a “I’m judging you” look on her face 🤣 and then loosened up and played, sang and interacted with them. 

Can’t believe my little baby is growing up and (surprise!) can apparently climb the stairs (and quite fast 😆)

Big hugs to everyone else doing school drop offs with their little ones ❤️🥹

Leonardo’s first day of school ✨

My little guy has grown into such a smart, kind and independent “three-nager” 🥹

Don’t be fooled by the photo though, our morning was not picture perfect as we sqeeeeezed these shoes on for the photo but in reality none of the shoes I bought him in July for this year fit 🙈

I guess what they say is true, a gelato a day must be the trick of growing ao fast 🤣 or at least that’s the explanation Leonardo gave me for why his feet grew so much in a month 😅

No matter what he’s always my little guy with a BIG personality - just like his mamma 😉❤️

From Puglia back to Milan ✈️ 

The last few days have been exhausting to say the least, but we’re trying to rally all our energy to open the right boxes and find the essentials to make it to the first day of school tomorrow 😅

Life lately ✨

I haven’t been posting as much as usual, not because we’re not doing things everyday (believe me, the kids have us BUSY), but because I literally fall asleep with my phone in my hand every night. 

As we near the end of August, we’ve come to the realization that summer was great but wasn’t a vacation at all. As thankful as I am for the time we got to spend together as a family, I’m more exhausted than ever (and we’ve got a house full of boxes to go back to…) 😂

We’ve got another 10ish days at the beach before going back to Milan, and I’m trying to power through to the end, enjoying every moment. But I am also counting down the days to school starting again, getting back into our “normal routine” and not finding sand in my hair everyday 😅

Any other parents feeling the same?! 🤷‍♀️🤪

Shout out to all the moms and dads out there working hard to make this summer so fun and unforgettable for their kids 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Sharing this here so that it’s manifested and I’m held@accountable : my goal before the end of the summer is to get ONE cute photo in an outfit that I packed 🙈😂

After 9 months together, it was time to say ciao 🥺

Never could I have imagined that my mom and I would live together in Milan for what turned out to be the most amazing bonding experience we’ve had as both adults, and both moms. 

This morning with tears in my eyes we said ciao to Nonna Patrizia as she returned back home. I am emotional just writing this because it feels now like it was one big movie, something that went by so fast.

But really, how lucky and privileged are we that we had the luxury of spending all this time together. I am forever grateful to her for putting her life on pause to come help us in a time of crisis and stay for months afterwards as we navigated Imma’s rehab to walk again, my last months of maternity leave, my new job, selling our house and packing everything up to move, countless toddler meltdowns (and some adult ones too…guilty 🙋🏼‍♀️) and motherhood all over again with Olivia.

I will never take these moments for granted and I’m so glad we lived everything to the max. Now we have these amazing memories to always look back on until we can plan another trip to see each other again ❤️

Grazie MILLE Nonna Patrizia. We love you so much 🥹

A baptism celebrated in the sweetest little white church by the sea 🕊️ 

Olivia’s baptism was small and sweet, just like her. We celebrated in true Pugliese style with dinner al fresco by the sea and delicious local seafood! 

It wouldn’t be an event organized by me if there wasn’t a theme 😂, so I thought it was only right to have everything olive green in honour of Olivia and the delicious olive oil region we have our home in here 🫒 

Grazie to our friends and neighbours who welcomed Olivia into their lives with open arms and hearts and who came to celebrate with us ❤️

So happy we were able to organize this while my mom is still here in Italy with us. The bond she’s made with Olivia over these past 7 months has been the most special thing to watch (swipe to last photo) 🥹

The moment we said goodbye 😭

Never would I have thought I’d get emotional over leaving a house when I am so obsessed with our new one, but yet I full on cried when I walked into our old house one last time when it was emptied out 🙈

15 years of memories, as a new couple, turning the bachelor pad into a stylish home, welcoming friends over, wedding preparations, our kids first home, our Covid love nest, where Leonardo learned to walk, Olivia’s arrival…this place has seen it all. 

So it feels right to take a moment to acknowledge our le past house and how special it was for us, so that we can now focus on all the exciting things that await us ❤️

Grazie Guintellino 24 for years of memories - we will still be friends forever 🥹

Moving day madness 🤪

Yesterday was a whirlwind…! Must have gone and forth between the old house and new house (thankfully it’s only a 6 min walk 😅) at least 15 times…! 

I was truly a sweaty mess but after 12 hours we did it thanks to fmnlogisticsgroup 💪🏻

How cool is the way they move your stuff in here in Italy?! We went from a ground floor/1st floor loft to the penthouse of the 9th/10th floors so they brought allll our stuff in from the balconies 😄 I’d never seen anything like this in Canada before! 

Watch till the end to see Leonardo’s sweet first reaction to the (semi) finished house 🥹👏🏻

New job, same girl boss energy ✨

I am so excited to officially share that I am the Director for American Institute for Foreign Study in Milan! 

Being given the opportunity to have a direct effect on the experience young professionals and students have abroad is something I do not take for granted. I was quite literally in their shoes just over 15 years ago and would have done anything to have had a roadmap of how to navigate Milan as a young professional, network with others and deal with Italian bureaucracy 🙈

Now, with the guidance of some strong female leadership and the most amazing team, I will be able to be the support for hundreds of internationals here in the city I now call home ❤️

All career changes can be intimidating at times, but more than anything I am energized and focused on making each participant’s experience in Milan a 10/10 success and leave a lasting impact on their lives/careers/paths in life 💪🏻

Thank you aifsabroad for trusting me with this role! Now let’s make some magic! ✨

What an amazing evening spent celebrating our sweet girl with family and friends, old and new, at the cutest blueberry farm mirtillidisanvito ❤️

Thank you to everyone who took the time to send over some love to Olivia! We still have a hard time believing it’s already been a year…! Yet in some ways we feel like she’s always been a part of our little family 🥹

Happy 1st Birthday Olivia ✨

I am so emotional writing this. It’s the end of the day, I’m exhausted and all I can think about is this time last year I was just holding you in my arms after a quick 2 hour labour. You came into our lives fast and furious and although we had a hard time adjusting at first, you’ve become the easiest and most chill baby there is! 

Your chill vibe is so different than me, so I know you’re going to be a cool Italian like your papà. I love it when you give me a little smirk and reach your arms out for cuddles together. My heart melts when I see you play with Leonardo and I can’t wait to watch the two of you create an inseparable bond ❤️

Olivia, you are my favourite girl, and I love you so much! I can’t wait to hand you down all my favourite pieces from my closet and style mommy and me outfits together 😍

💪🏻 Today she’s 10.7kg // 23.6lbs
❤️ Loves saying “Graz” 😂
❤️ Loves car rides
❤️ Loves waving ciao ciao 👋🏻 
😩 Dislikes playing alone
😩 Dislikes when food is done
😩 Dislikes growing teeth

Our little grad 🧑‍🎓 🌱 

With all the excitement over here I forgot to stop and take a moment to celebrate all the achievements Leonardo had over the past week(s)! 

He finished the school year in style and for that first time didn’t cry at the end of the year show! Yay! 

He also totally made me a dance mom at his end of year Hip Hop Dance recital 🥹 I was marking the moves from my seat and could hardly contain my excitement! 

Thank you mile_school for another amazing year! ❤️ Now time for summer camp 🌊✌🏻
