Wow! The dust on this thing...

Ok, so bad blogger!

I have neglected this little bloggy for a very long time.... and so I thought I would give her a little attention... and update.

We have been crazy busy these last few months. The big move this past March when my girls and myself made the big flight from Italy back to Canada. Then starting a full time job on top of it... If any of you have followed the Lissy In Italy blog then you know I haven't worked in a few years. Quite the change. Now hubby has made the move as well finally after staying back home and cleaning up the appartment for renters or buyers.

Bella Expressions has been busy too! Sales are increasing and this busy momma is finding herself even busier. So much so, I am finally taking a chance at a one night getaway with my girlfriends. A day of shopping tomorrow and probably a fantastic dinner date with my 2 BFFs. Us mommas have been wanting one of these get-to-gethers for a few years now. I am so excited.

What's on our schedule? We're taking in the St. Albert market in the morning and heading to the new Hole's - we hear it is really something to check out. Then off to some shopping. SHOPPING! Now that's something I used to love. See, it became my nemisis almost in a country of fashion. Me having 2 girls in the past 4 years has not left me with my pre-momma figure.... and I was living in a country where everyone was a size 0 (is zero even really a size? Wouldn't it mean you were non-existent... anyways...). So yes, shopping became a painful experience. I'm hoping I can dive right in tomorrow and enjoy myself instead of shopping like I used to (if it fits, buy it cuz the kids are squirming). I'll actually have time to try clothes on... peruze the aisles... I'm getting almost giddy! Ha! Ha!

Well, I'm off to bed. I have to pack in the morning for my overnight stay.
Night night!

Splishin' and Splashin' and Boy Am I Pooped!

G had the day off yesterday so we headed for some shade and water... THE POOL!

There's a really nice pool at Fiorenzuola D'Arda. It's outside and has 2 great pools for kids. One is small and very shallow with some jets that bubble up water and the other has a big fountain thing and a hydromassage area where tiny jets bubble up water all over the place in one of the corners.

We packed apicnic and off we went. It's amazing how much cooler it feels near a pool! Little Isabella stayed in the pool over 3 hours! That's a long time for a little 2 year old. Sofia enjoyed the pool for a bit with mommy and then pooped out so we went to hang out in the shade and have a nap.... ok so I didn't get to nap cuz G and Isabella decided to come over and steal my chair... so much for reading that magazine I bought almost a month ago... again!

We had a snack, coffee, ice cream and then instead of Isabella pooping out, she wanted to go in the water again! This was the plee of an over tired child who wouldn't take no for an answer. Of course this time we gave in because it had been a while since we had been to the pool. Needless to say the pool time didn't last long and she was out before we got home. No suppy that night as she was too cranky... straight to bed. I admit, it was kind of nice not having to fight to get her to go to sleep for a change!
