About Me
April 21st 2020: I have learned quite a bit about myself during quarantine. Some of these are things that people have told me and I never accepted and others are totally new! I love spoilers.

Party Party!
April 9th 2020: Happy Birthday Nonna! Last week I threw a hugeee party! We had polenta with ragu al carne and tremondous brownies that I did not follow the recipe!

Life in Lockdown
March 16th 2020: This extrovert is getting tired of isolation! What a week. I’ve taken advantage of this time and tried to be productive. I’ve watched Mamma Mia! many, many times. I’ve listened to Mamma Mia! as I read, did core exercises, and lounged on the couch. I’ve enlightened myself on the history of eachContinue reading “Life in Lockdown”
My City!
March 11th 2020: I rule the streets!! Normally when I am walking to school or Perché No (the places I visit regularly) it is a dance on the sidewalks. Depending on who is coming at me, I step off the sidewalk, cross the street or continue on. Today I went on a big loop walkContinue reading “My City!”
