Shared Bedrooms
We are debating having the boys share a room. It isn’t necessary, but The Mister always enjoyed sharing a room with his older brother and has this idea it will “be good for Mikey and Nico.” I like the idea because it opens up a...
The History of a Young Family in an Olive Oil Cruet
Until today, I had no idea an olive oil cruet could hold such meaning. This is my favorite corner in my kitchen, and it came around by accident. It started with the vintage pictures of Buenos Aires I received two weeks ago. Then, last week, I b...
