Welcome to my Blog!

Hello everybody!

I have been wanting to this for a very long time. I always liked the idea of sharing some of my crazy thoughts, experiences and just interesting stories with my friends and family.
I have been living in the US for more than 10 years now and I have noticed how living here has changed me in some respects; and how other aspects of my life will never change no matter how long I am away from home. It is absolutely interesting to see how Isabel and Diego (my children, but most of you already knew that) are different from me and the same at the same time.
Don't even get me started on how complicated it gets to try to be true to my beliefs, traditions, routines and values and at the same time accept and even participate in Patrick's (my lovely Swiss hubby) beliefs, traditions, routines and values.

So, we are a family where 3 languages are spoken, many times simultanously; where my husband and I do not agree on a lot of issues, but somehow have managed to raise two wonderful, kind and dare I say, extremely cute (I am being totally objective, ofcourse) children.

This blog will simply have stories about our life and my thoughts. I presume that it would be rather boring for most people, but somewhat amuzing to those of you who know us. I promise to throw some pictures here and there (mostly of the kids and/or Patrick- I hate pictures of myself).
I am thinking that I will do most of the writing in English, simply so more people can read it. All my friends and family (with the exception of my parents) understand English very well, so here we go...
