homeschool, business tips and photography
You guys! What a year! To say that 2020 has been full of surprises would be an understatement. We moved from Connecticut to Maryland around March, and as soon as we moved into our new rental, David’s boss told him their office would be closed and he needed to work from home. Even though that caught us by surprise at… Read More
So I’ve been a little quiet here. And the reason is: we are expecting our third baby this winter!! We are beyond thankful for this little blessing! I’ve spent the last few months feeling a bit tired and nauseous, it was hard to get on here and update you guys about our homeschool routine and other things. But I’m starting… Read More
When we moved to this house, the former owners had painted each room a different color. I would have been totally ok with that if it wasn’t for the fact that the colors went terrible together. We are talking purple and red walls in the same room. But we saw beyond the imperfections and broken windows, we knew this cape… Read More
Teething like crazy. I wish you could slow down baby Lara. Even though you cried all day today, I’m blessed to be your mama. You bring light to our days. My little “boneca”. Flipped the calendar, it’s March… it’s March. My favorite Brazilian bossa is called “Águas de Março”, it means waters of March. It talks about the end of… Read More
In the hope of keeping our moments alive, I decided to become more intentional about blogging this year. So many things happened in our lives in 2017! We welcomed Lara into the world, she is an absolute dream. Perfect from head to toe. I actually traveled to Brazil to have her because I didn’t want to be postpartum in Connecticut,… Read More
We moved into our 1950’s Cape Cod in October 2016, which we got to customize and decorate a little. With limitations and little by little. Our house isn’t as old as most of the homes in our area, but it’s old enough to be sweet and full of character. I didn’t love the archways at first, but now I am so… Read More
I haven’t written a new blog post since October last year. And here’s why: We found out we were expecting our second baby around Christmas time. And oh boy! My first and second trimester were rough. Seriously no joke! I was sick everyday. Then faced lack of inspiration, motivation, my brain turned completely blank… For a graphic designer, these are terrible… Read More
I can recognize your laugh from far away. I can translate your babbles, I know what you mean when you shake your hands up in the air asking me to sing your favorite song. I know what makes you shy, and I also know what can make you cry. I love it when you change the tone of your voice to… Read More

I am Brazilian, He is American. We met in China, got engaged in New York City, and got married in Itapema Beach/Brazil. In our adventure as a married couple, Dave and I learned that love can overcome the language barriers and the culture differences. We’ve been married for three years and recently added a tiny person to our little family…. Read More
