February 2026

Saturday, February 28, 2026

 February was great because Emilia was (finally) able to enjoy daycare! She loves going and being around other kids and her teachers. February was busy - we hosted the Super Bowl, went to a play place, and Andy started flag football games again. Another busy month in the books and another month older for miss Emilia!

A febbraio, l'Emilia e' finalmente andata a scuola! Le piace molto andare a scuola ed essere con altri bambini. A febbraio, abbiamo invitato i nostri amici per vedere il Super Bowl, siamo andati in un parco giochi, e Andy ha ricominciato a giocare a flag football. Un'altro mese passato velocissimo!



10 months old!

A few more swim lessons!

Sper Bowl fun!







Sun puppy!

Football fans!

It was so hot in February that we busted out a little pool for Emilia - she loves it!
C'era cosi' caldo a Febbraio che abbiamo messo fuori la piscina per l'Emilia. Le piace molto essere nell'acqua!


October 2025

Friday, October 31, 2025

Probably the most expensive month of our lives thus far - WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! We found a house in a neighborhood that we loved and closed/moved in in October. I also went back to work in October and Andy was home with Emilia. Lots of changes and new things, but we LOVE our house and have been making so many memories here. 

Probabilmente il mese piu' costoso de la nostra vita fino ad adesso perche' abbiamo comprato casa! Abbiamo trovato una casa in una zona che ci piace molto e abbiamo fatto trasloco a ottobre. Io sono tornata a lavorare e Andy e stato a casa con l'Emilia.



Emilia celebrated her first Halloween! She had multiple costumes - ice cream cone, pumpkin, and bowl of spaghetti from Lady and the Tramp. We went around the new neighborhood with some friends and she trick-or-treated. She is getting so big! She can sit up by herself and is scooting all over the place!
L'Emilia ha fatto il sup primo Halloween! Aveva un paio di costumi - gelato, zucca, e piatto di spaghetti di Lilli e Vagabondo. Siamo andati a fare dolcetto o scherzetto ne la nostra neighborhood nuova. Sta diventando grande! Adesso puo' stare seduta da sola e comincia a gattonare. 



April 2024

I always forget how fast April and May go by! I didn't take too many pictures this month, but a few fun things.

Mi scordo sempre che aprile e maggio passano come' il vento! Non ho fatto tante foto, pero' abbiamo fatto un paio di cose divertente.


We have Dinner Club almost every month with some friends. April was our turn to host. We made focaccia, oxtails, polenta, brussel sprouts, and cheesecake with Tahitian Vanilla.

Ogni mese abbiamo dei amici con cui ci troviamo per cena. Questo mese era il nostro turno. Abbiamo fatto focaccia, oxtails (come l'osso buco), polenta, cavolini di bruxel, e una cheesecake con la vaniglia di Tahiti.






Andy's playing flag football and was MVP of his game!

Dried bouquet from our wedding

Probably the highlight of April was getting new carpet! We only have carpet in our bedrooms and it was pretty old. It's hard to tell in the pictures the new one, but it's a little lighter and a TON softer. 
Abbiamo cambiato la moquette che abbiamo ne le camere. Non si vede molto bene, pero' e' appena piu' chiaro e molto piu' morbido.

First Padres game of the season! 

March 2024

Sunday, March 31, 2024

Almost spring! March in San Diego is always hit or miss with weather. I feel like we had it all this month! It was busy with school wrapping up third quarter, a quick east coast getaway, and celebrating our one year wedding anniversary!

E' quasi primavera! Marzo a San Diego non si sa mai come sara' il tempo. Questo mese era impegnato con la scuola, una mini-vacanza a New York e Washington DC, e il nostro primo anniversario!



Plants! They died over the break.....
I forgot to bring them home/water them, whoops!




Spring Break! Time for Spritz!

For our one year anniversary, we went to dinner at Buona Forchetta. Andy bought me beautiful flowers and a bottle of the wine we had when he proposed. He also had a cheese plate/board sent to the house for us to enjoy. I got him our wedding song printed and framed and we framed our wedding pictures. 

Per il nostro anniversario, siamo andati a mangiare da Buona Forchetta. Andy ha preso dei fiori e la bottiglia di vino che avevamo aperto quando ci siamo fidanzati. Ha anche ordinato un piatto con formaggi e salumi. Io li ho preso la nostra canzone stampata e ho fatto stampare e appeso foto del nostro matrimonio.








For Easter, Simone and Goofy came down and we feasted! I made spinach and ricotta streusel, cappelletti (didn't take any pics - we ate them too fast!), saltimbocca, and a fruit tart. 
Per Pasqua, Simone e Goofy sono venuti. Io ho fatto uno strudel con spinaci e ricotta, cappelletti, saltimbocca, e una torta di frutta. 

I spy three nappers!




Home Updates: Fall!

Tuesday, October 20, 2020

I have LOVED decorating my home for fall. I don't usually do much because Halloween is not my jam, but I'm all about fall colors. 

Una cosa che mi fa felice e decorare per l'autunno, natale, etc. Anche se non mi piace Halloween, le cose autunnali mi piacciono. 


This isn't a fall decor, but a friend's boyfriend is a photographer and he took this picture of the sun setting under Scripps Pier. I loved it so much that I bought it and framed it. Working on getting more things on the walls!
Questa non e' una cosa autunnale, pero' il boyfriend di una mia amica e' un fotografo. Ha fatto questa foto stupenda, allora l'ho comprata e messa in cornice. Piano piano, appendo dei quadri e foto.



New mirror by the front door!

Fun floral arrangement from Trader Joe's

New barstools

New rug! Gus has already peed on it. Twice. 🙈
