A video is right up my alley because I am a very visual person. If you didn't like the bacon/chocolate combination try lavender and blueberry. The aroma is so relaxing that you don't even need to eat it, but I liked this combination and I am not a big chocolate/fruit person.likeschocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733431135937009206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961186887823250953.post-88624278495489827742010-07-21T15:14:38.464+02:002010-07-21T15:14:38.464+02:00I love Venice, but I vow never to go back in July-...I love Venice, but I vow never to go back in July-August just because there really is too many people there.likeschocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733431135937009206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961186887823250953.post-85903020381116550942010-07-21T07:15:10.022+02:002010-07-21T07:15:10.022+02:00What a wonderful opportunity and what great grandp...What a wonderful opportunity and what great grandparents!Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316361078052416731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961186887823250953.post-62705872747773217832010-07-13T16:12:47.447+02:002010-07-13T16:12:47.447+02:00What lovely photos- looks like a wonderful trip- i...What lovely photos- looks like a wonderful trip- i lived in Switzerland but have not been back in too long!Ren- Lady Of The Artshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440340751455712080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961186887823250953.post-58397172071541049292010-07-05T13:49:33.728+02:002010-07-05T13:49:33.728+02:00The quality of the photos coming from the iphone i...The quality of the photos coming from the iphone is so impressive.

My mother and I went on a trip to Europe when I was 17/18 for 10 weeks, and by the end of the trip I could care less if I saw another castle or church. I can only enjoy going into them now because I see them only one per trip. They are probably so natural for your children to see that they don't bring about excitement anymore.likeschocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733431135937009206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961186887823250953.post-55506362774033296662010-06-27T15:31:15.843+02:002010-06-27T15:31:15.843+02:00Though it has been a while since we have moved com...Though it has been a while since we have moved completely, I can totally feel with you; especially will having three children that are so young.

Ever since our first round of movers came, Katherine's been having nightmares about things like strangers sneaking into our house trying to steal her pink puppy or her shoes falling off over and over again, etc. She's been waking up every few hours, but when I try to comfort her she insists her bad dreams have nothing to do with the move. We're moving into a hotel on Tuesday, so we'll see how it goes from there.<br /><br />Here's hoping for happy, healthy kids for you and a safe, stress-free transition back to the states!

I got a phone call from the teacher saying that is was not allowed and that I needed to talk to my son because they had a zero tolerance policy. I told her she had to be kidding that it is completely normal for children to make guns out of everything. Just ask any pshycologist. What is the world coming too. I like how in Europe they don't get bent out of shape over every little thing.
