After tantrums and sleep, is a must broach the subject that underlies the whole issue of education ….. the RULES and especially how to enforce them in our beloved children. We often hear that times have changed, that our parents knew how to command respect as we now do a lot more effort to get the respect of our children! we also consider that we are in a time when almost all mothers work (for pleasure or necessity) and guilt towards their children, reigns sovereign alas !!! This guilt drives us sometimes to make mistakes in an attempt to “forgive us” was not engaged at every moment of life of our children (overcome the shortcomings with gifts or defects does not help!) for this reason I strongly believe in the rules because they help to put some ‘of order in life conduct and above all give us a direzione.Acquisire rules therefore it needs to become autonomous and independent adults. To make this possible, children need both love and affection, both of education and rules. As I believe that none of us is equipped with a “magic wand” (dare I say ……. maybe we had!), Much less think that none has the stock market a book of miracle solutions (otherwise you are kindly requested to make suffered an infinite number of copies !!!), we seek to understand what may be some suggestions to help, to help us parents to exercise authority balanced and effective, never forgetting that the principles of good education are still: love, few rules clear and indisputable and consistency. The rules must be few to not confuse the child and because the really important rules in life are not tante.Le rules must be clear: above all to ourselves, otherwise we fail to enforce them, and we would create so much confusione.Le rules must be positive: establish a positive rule encourages the child and a child, encouraged and gratified, will be more inclined to respect sempre.Le rules must be implemented: placing of unattainable goals creates immense frustration, so better just workable rules, which make happy all quanti.Le rules must be observed first of all from us: treat yourself to your children as an example. If you need to make exceptions (there are rules that apply only to children and not for adults) always justified to the child why you can do something and he did not! Be authoritative and not authoritarian or permissive: the rules are essential! To educate means to lead, guide, If the child misses the benchmark is likely to perdersi.Un child that grows respecting a few rules (right), will be an adult who will respect the few social rules of living civile.E you? How do you enforce the rules in your home? What are your little tricks that you use?

E anche fine settembre è arrivato! Questo è stato un mese meraviglioso… metereologicamente parlando. Anche se ormai siamo in autunno, le giornate sono ancora calde e il clima che si respira è proprio sereno. Non sarebbe bello poter vivere sempre con 22 o 23 gradi giornalieri?

Eh sì, bello sognare. Siccome il freddo a breve arriverà e le giornate inizieranno ad accorciarsi, Ginevra e io cerchiamo di goderci al massimo queste ultime giornate di sole. L’altro giorno abbiamo passato un pomeriggio meraviglioso al parco: abbiamo fatto un bellissimo pic-nic, con tanto di merenda. Quando stavo preparando il cibo da mettere all’interno del cestino, le ho domandato cosa volesse per merenda e lei mi ha risposto: «Ma come mamma… dovresti saperlo!». Ho fatto finta di nulla e le ho detto che non riuscivo proprio a intuire cosa desiderasse. Lei ha iniziato a ridere e a cantare: «Le mucche fanno muu, ma una fa… dai mamma che ora hai capito!». Certo che avevo capito: ormai i budini Muu Muu Frutta & Latte di cameo sono diventati divertenti compagni di viaggio, che non possono assolutamente mancare. Sono perfetti per ogni occasione, anche per le mamme come me che sono molto attente all’ alimentazione del proprio bambino. Mentre eravamo al parco a fare merenda, ho pensato che anche se presto sarà inverno e dovremmo chiuderci in casa, potremo continuare questa buona abitudine: con i nostri cameo Muu Muu Frutta & Latte, sarà sempre in qualche modo una bella festa.

And the end of September has arrived! This was a wonderful month … metereologicamente talking. Even though we are in the fall, the days are still warm and the climate that reigns is just serene. Would not it be nice to be able to live always with 22 or 23 degree days? Yeah, nice to dream. Since the cold will arrive shortly and the days begin to get shorter, Ginevra and I try to enjoy the most of these last sunny days. The other day we spent a wonderful afternoon at the park: we did a nice picnic, complete with a snack. When I was preparing the food to be placed inside the basket, I asked what he wanted for a snack and she said: “But as a mom … you should know.” I pretended nothing and I told her that I just could not imagine what he wanted. She began to laugh and to sing: “The cows make muu, but a mother who does … by now you understand.” Of course I understood: now the puddings Muu Muu Milk& Fruit cameo  became funny fellow travelers, who can not miss. They are perfect for any occasion, even for moms like me who are very careful to ‘power of their child. While we were at the park for an afternoon snack, I thought that even if it will soon be winter and we should lock ourselves at home, we can continue this good habit: with our cameo Muu Muu Fruit & Milk, will always be in some way a good party.

A due passi da casa mia, a Venezia,  in una delle città più belle del mondo si è tenuta il 9-10-11 aprile la  Nicole Fashion Show, dove hanno sfilato e sono state protagoniste 5 collezioni: Alessandra Rinaudo, Nicole, Colet, Jolies e Romance.

Tre sono i trend che hanno caratterizzato tutte le collezioni. In primis  la manica corta, a tre quarti ma soprattutto lunga, concepita come un arricchimento. L’effetto tattoo rimane il must have del 2017 : ricercati pizzi francesi disegnano schiene e decoltè come una seconda pelle impreziosita. Infine la grande novità sono gli abiti trasformabili : sono stati proposte mise che riservano eleganti sorprese  affinchè il capo possa seguire l’evoluzione dell’ intera giornata. Quindi gonne che si alleggeriscono, code regali che scompaiono, carrè e boleri staccabili per avere un maggiore confort. Un’altra grande novità è stato il lancio di una chiccosissima linea: la Nicole Ceremony Collection 2017  che va a completare e chiudere il cerchio con la Collezione Damigella. La sfilata è iniziata con una frase (che mi piace molto ovviamente!) “Nicole ti ruba il cuore” , apparsa sul retro della pedana assieme ad uno scatto fotografico di un ponte di una via di Venezia che ha fatto da cornice a tutto lo Show. Le modelle  hanno sfilato sulle note della Serenissima del Rondò Veneziano e indossato gli abiti della Collezione 2017 Nicole e Alessandra Rinaudo Bridal Couture, linea personale della fashion designer e creativa director di Nicole Fashion Group. L’evento è stato emozionante vi lascio il video della sfilata e alcune foto. A presto … Link utili: Nicole Spose     We are at the beginning of the week and you know … the departures are always a little ‘difficult … To help you find the right sprint, I bring you today a magical world: have you ever heard of Nicole Spose?

There are three trends that have characterized all the collections. Primarily the short sleeves, three-quarter but especially long, conceived as an enrichment. The tattoo effect remains the must-have of 2017: refined French laces draw backs and neckline embellished like a second skin. Finally the big news are the transformable clothes: were proposals put reserving surprises elegant so the head can follow the evolution of the ‘whole day. Then skirts that lighten, code gifts that disappear, boleros loin and detachable for greater comfort. Another big news was the launch of a chiccosissima line: Nicole Ceremony Collection 2017 that would complement and close the circle with the Maid Collection.

The event was exciting I leave the video of the show and some photos. See you soon …

Hello dear friends, in recent weeks I had to turn away from work for my daughter and to say: I just was not there used much less her. I got strength, I had to be for a few days in Florence where I had been invited to participate in events for the Pitti Uomo and Pitti Bimbo the following week and I told myself that I could not miss. Firstly, because it is my job and certain events is not good to have them escape and secondly I thought I could distract a bit ‘. I am 3 years I’ve lived with her, with my daughter, day and night. The evening did not go out if not for a pizza or go to a restaurant, carefully chosen with a parking or playroom for her. The holidays are only and exclusively to its extent. The evenings alone with her girlfriends are me forget for a while ‘. Oh no! So, I packed and I left with a slight anxiety. I return her to let me know that she felt neglected, he began to curse! Between a c ..k beyond and a as …le here, for a moment I thought of “losing it.” Fixed temporary slip of my daughter I thought it was right to recover a minimum of air and breathe again. It’s good for both the end: because her become more independent from me and I to her, and to me for the time “solo” that allows you to resize things. Blessed are those who make it without remorse or guilt … soon …

Buongiorno a tutti! E’ tempo di scegliere.. .Esistono scelte facili, difficili, da prendere di petto oppure di testa. Ma  quando si tratta di scegliere cosa indossare ci troviamo di fronte a scelte divertenti, per fortuna!!

Quando ho iniziato a scrivere il mio blog vi ho parlato quasi subito del mio amore incondizionato per i berretti!  Solitamente seleziono e ragiono molto, ma quando si tratta di berretti, agisco di pancia…se ne trovo uno che mi piace (e me lo dice la pancia, proprio come accade in fase di innamoramento!), non posso lasciarlo lì. Non posso che portarmelo a casa, so che non lo  lascerò dentro ad un cassetto, ma che lo sfrutterò a più non posso ! Ed è così  anche con quest’ultimo  berretto in Cashmere che ho comprato per me e uguale identico alla mia Ginevra. Devo averlo scovato in qualche blog e mi è piaciuto subito ! Sono andata a vedere il sito  : 

 e  ho scelto il modello ( ce ne sono di tutti i tipi !) , poi senza pensarci due volte, l’ho comprato identico anche alla mia piccola.Leggendo il loro sito mi sono innamorata della loro storia: il Warm-me è un berretto fatto a mano in Nepal, ci pensate ? Mi emoziona un pochino pensare che dall’ altra parte del mondo una sarta con le sue  manine magiche  abbia creato quest’opera d’arte che Ginevra ed io indosseremo questo inverno… So  bene cosa ci sia dietro ad un capo, quanto lavoro, dedizione e ricerca. Quando scelgo un capo mi piace scoprirne la storia ed è stato anche un bel motivo per spiegare a mia figlia dove fosse il Nepal e parlarle del suo popolo. Andate a curiosare sul  sito, vedrete che ve ne innamorerete anche voi… Al  tatto sono così morbidi, soffici e caldi che è impossibile non amarli ! A presto, un abbraccio.

Good morning to everyone! It’s time to choose… There are easy choices, difficult ones, choices to be faced head on or in a more reasonable way. But when it is about what to wear we have luckily to make funny choices!! When I started writing my blog I almost at once told you about my unconditionate love for caps. I usually select and think a lot, but when the matter is caps, I face it head on… if I find one that I like (and it is my belly which tells it to me, exactly as it happens when we’re falling in love!), I can’t leave the cap in the shop. I just have to bring it at home, I know that I won’t leave it in a drawer, but that I’m going to take advantage of it as much as I can! It is so also with this most recent cashmere cap which I bought for me and I bought an identical one for my Ginevra. I may I have discovered it in some blog and I immediately liked it! I visited the website: http://www.warm-me.com and I chose the model (there are all kinds!) then, without thinking twice, I bought it identical to my little girl too. Reading their website I fell in love with their story: the Warm-me is a cap handmade in Nepal, can you think about it? Thinking that, in the other side of the world, a seamstress with her magical hands has created this work of art, which Ginevra and I are going to wear during this winter, is something that touch me a bit… I really know what there is behind an item of clothing, how much work, dedication and research. When I choose an item, I love discovering its story and it has been a good reason to explain my daughter where Nepal is and to talk her about its population. Go and browse the website, you will see that you’ll fall in love too… To the touch they’re so soft and warm that it is impossible not to love them! See you soon, a hug.

On Sunday May 20^th, 2012 in a few hours my life has changed…yes, because as I was 36 weeks pregnant, one month early, at four o’clock in the morning, my waters broke and my baby came into the world three hours later. But it didn’t start like this…no, because a woman becomes a mother in the same time as she finds out she’s pregnant, or at least for me it was like that… Eight months before, one of my closest friends pointed out that I was late: “Nicole, you should have already had your period this month…”. “No, Erika, I didn’t even finish my last one yet…” I replied laughing, and doubting that I could be pregnant, I went to the pharmacy and bought a test…I didn’t tell anyone… I took the test and I was so pregnant that the little lines popped out even before the expected time…six weeks pregnant, said my doctor afterwards… I remember that I decided to keep it a secret for three days…I didn’t say a word to anybody! Not even him, who would have had the right to know, but that happiness, that amazing gift that life was donating me, I just wanted to enjoy it all by myself for a moment…and then, on a Wednesday night, I prepared a box with a flower on the outside, and put the test inside, he looked at me, started crying, and in that moment we became parents… Well, it took him a little longer to realize it… Pregnancy was for me a wonderful time, I don’t remember being in such pain as I was giving birth, maybe because it didn’t last long or maybe because my pain threshold is so high, according to what Mara, the obstetrician, said. Then everything stopped, everything reset, as if in the moment when Ginevra was born, I was reborn too, out of that hospital, a totally different life was waiting for me…a more complex life perhaps, but certainly more amazing, and then, starting from that moment, everything was going to have a different meaning, bigger and more conscious! I want to thank Ginevra for these two beautiful years! For lighting up our lives and filling them with smiles! For always being so active and for teaching me that time runs fast…for making me discover so many things I wasn’t aware of! Thank you my love! Happy, sweet and colorful birthday! I love you so much…so, so much!
