Wow! I am honored! I receive this award from the sweet Lexi & Sarah from Ourbabymakingjourney so thank you so much guys! I know you guys are going to be IVFing again any day so here is my wish, I really hope this is your time and that we can be pregnant together ; ) You are going to make a loving family and that's all children need!
The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say "you're doing a great job". It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs and get them more readers and followers!
So now the questions:
1. What is your favorite season and why?
I love them all! I love Winter because I love Christmas and being able to spend time with my family in Italy, I love Spring because seeing all the blossoming reminds me of life and how awesome it is, I love summer because it means holidays in Spain, swimming in the sea and drinking cold beer with tapas and I now love Autumn because of all the amazing colours and because it's my wife's birthday and I love her!
Since starting my own family I love seasons more because of all the traditions they bring and all the things I can do with my kids, I have lovely memories of my childhood and I will try to give them to my children as well, because that's what life is about isn't it?
2. What is something you cant live without?
I have to admit it, my I-phone. I am addicted to it, I use it for everything, it's great!
3. If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
I would love to go traveling with my wife, going away for a few months and see the world, she wanted to do it when we met but I wasn't ready and now I will have to wait until the kids are old enough...
4. If given the ability to change one thing in this world what would you choose?
Honestly, I would like to change the way this world seems to be made for men and for women it has to be a constant fight, especially in some part of this world, I would like the world rape to disappear from this world.
5. Do you have any regrets in life?
Sometimes I wonder how my life would be if I didn't move away from my family and country but then I realize I would have never met the love of my life and started a family with her ( in Italy lesbians couples have no access to fertility treatment ) So, no, no regrets!
6. Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging because I always loved writing, my first blog was about my life as a gay italian girl in Dublin, Ireland. Then we moved to Rome for a few months and I wrote about that experience and then once back in Ireland I started blogging about our journey to become a family and our daughter's arrival in the world. When I was struggling to get pregnant and I was told I needed to do IVF I did a lot of research and found this amazing strong community of women online writing about how difficult it can be and I immediately felt part of it. So I started this blog, my first in english (I know it's not perfect! ).
7. What is your best trait?
I don't know...I am very organized? I like to have everything under control and I am fast at getting things done.
8. What is your worst trait?
Same as the best, I am a bit of a control freak so if I don't get to organize I find it difficult to just go with the flow...
9. What is your best childhood memory?
Oh I have so many, I love my parents so much, probably one of the best is when going on holidays singing in the car all together. Just being happy.
10. Who are 3 people you would love to have dinner with (living or dead)?
That's a difficult one, I am not a very social person, that's why I write, I don't particularly enjoy chit chat about nothing but I suppose that if I was to have a few drinks I would love to meet:
- Charlie Chaplin I love cinema and I love him, I think he was a genius and an amazing artist
- Kurt Cobain I was a teenager in the 90s and desperately in love with him and his music
- Audrey Hepburn more because I would like to know how she could be so stylish and cute
11. Who is someone you miss?
I miss my mum and my dad and brother in Italy even though when I get to see them for more than a week I just want to run away but I suppose I miss being able to visit them or doing things for them if they needed me.
I miss my sister that lives in Buenos Aires.
I miss my best friends that are now living all over the world.
I suppose I miss how it was when I grew up, so simple and surrounded by people that loved me. I am so lucky to have my own family now and to have them loving me everyday. That's a gift for sure.
So that's it, now you know me a little bit better, I hope I wasn't to emotional or cheesy...you know with the hormone and all! Thank you again Lexi and Sarah, hope you don't mind if I copy your questions for my nominations, I really liked them!
