Regno dei Desideri (Oderzo)

Hello Friends!!

How's your weekend going???

Our weekend is going good.

I decided to take the boys somewhere fun today. 

My son has a theme each day and for Sunday he wants it to be Sunday Fun-day. 

He's giving me a little pressure making sure every day is perfect. 

So far.. I think I'm doing a good job.

All we do is try right?

We went to this Indoor playground when hubby was here but we didn't enjoy it all.

It was so crowded it just gaves us anxiety while being there.

So I thought. why not try going on a Sunday when it just opened. 

We got there right when it opened and it was the best idea ever!!

We almost have the place all to ourselves!

This bumpy car is so fun!

He loved it.

My baby.

They also got area for little kids. 

It's perfect because its fenced.

Also some things that grown up can join.

The boys had an amazing time there.

I highly recommend this place!

You can also take a break..have a coffee, snack or drink.

Me and my friend  enjoyed the quiet time while the boys are having fun.

Since it was already lunch time we decided to have lunch there.

They have good selection for food!

I swear it did not disappoint!

After lunch we hang out a little bit more.

Oh.. To be a kid again.

My god son.

I think he is also having a good day.

My loves.

It was an amazing day, I don't mind coming back again and again. 

Go check it out guys!!

Have fun!!

Grape Harvest 2019

Our last Grape Harvest!

I still can't believe its our last. 

I still remember last year like it was just yesterday.

( Grape Harvest 2018 )

It's sad that hubby didn't get to come to the last one.

It's different this year, it was still pretty warm.

This year we picked green grapes!

How awesome does this grapes look??

Just me and my boys and we went with my friend.

We went to same winery like last year and this winery is still my favorite. 

This is probably my 5th time coming here. haha!!

I love how they make it fun for everyone.

Especially for the kids.

The boys played there all day.

I was a little anxious because there was too much kids.

But, no one got hurt so that's good!

haha

Prosecco while watching the kids!

Around lunch time we picked the Grapes at the Vineyard.

The boys loved it!

After that we had our favorite drink.

The rabi.

So good!!

Then some picnic style lunch.

After that I had the chance to get some wine.

This is my last time coming to this winery so I got some wine that I will bring back to the US.

So sad....

Really going to miss everything here in Italy.

All stocked up!

There was a band and so many entertainment for everyone.

The food!

I think the boys had a great time.

Of course me too...

What an amazing day!

Going to miss Grape Harvest, but I'm happy we got to experience this twice!!

Ciao Ciao!!

Slow Cooker Corned Beef

Lately I don't feel too inspired to cook anything like I used to. 

I guess, Living with just kids makes you just want to make the easiest dinner.

But, the other I felt like making something good for us. 

The kids loved it.

This Slow cooker Corned beef was soo good!

We ate it as a Sandwich then then the next day we had leftovers, we ate it with Rice!

So yummy!

Caprese Salad

Hello friends!

It's still taking me a little while to get my blog updated.

I have so many posts to go.

But, before I continue that...

I want to post something that is recent.

Life has finally slowed down. 

It has been the busiest few months of our life with vacations, special occasions

and with hubby leaving us for a little while, It's hard to find time.

We also have a year left in Italy.

It's crazy how fast days are going. 

I need to slow down more and enjoy every moment more than ever.

Going to miss Italy so much.

So grateful to be here.

Going to miss REAL Italian food most especially!

I've been loving Caprese salad these days!

Very Easy and quick to make!

Probably the easiest recipe ever.

Just need to cut up Tomatoes, Mozzarella, put some salt and pepper, drizzle some olive oil.

Add some basil for some color and there you go!

I don't think I will ever get tired of this!

Ahh... Italia.

You are beautiful.

Have a good weekend!!

Ciao,Ciao!
