Last week it was half term and we went to Italy for a little break. It was also my mum’s birthday so I decided to do a typical Italian dessert: Tiramisu’ (literally meaning pick me up). The origin of this dessert seems to come from Veneto, the region where I come from, so north of...
Hello lovely mums! This is the first post of the year. I took a bit of a break during the holidays and went back home to Italy. Well, calling a break is actually a big word I guess. What we have when we go there is more like a tour de force. Every time there...

Actually right now the floor of my living room is...
