This year, winter is practicing hard. I’m not sure whether quite successfully, because even though this was the third time snowing this December, it’s just never really a lot, and doesn’t stick around for long, but we can’t blame winter for not trying. Really. So, after it started snowing again … Read more
Winter seems to be generous this year. After the first snowy trial run a couple of weeks ago, yesterday, winter bestowed upon us a chilly, wintery layer of snow dust. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to turn things into an “almost” perfect winter wonderland. Unfortunately, I had to … Read more
Yes, autumn has not quite left us yet, and so today, we decided to give it another shot and try playing in whatever capacity of leaves we may get. Remember those devious tree shakers I told you about last year, who always try to make chasing autumn leaves as … Read more

What’s a beach holiday without a real sand castle? Nothing, really – you’re right! We’re thinking the same. And so today, we set out to turn this vacation into the real deal, full-blown, sand-castle-building beach holiday! After lunch, we armed ourselves with a little shovel, some plastic cups, and a … Read more
After work, we had more time to play at the beach. And after dinner today, we actually tried our hands at flying a kite. Wasn’t quite successful, and I would’ve liked to blame the wind for that. But, next to us a boy had a kite up in the air, … Read more
