"My life changed quite a bit when I became a mother. My priorities shifted, and my children quickly became my whole world. It was the best decision I ever made. When Teo was born, I knew I wanted more children. Olivia came soon after, and life gave us another incredible baby. We decided to move from the city to the countryside for more space and peace — the perfect place to grow as a big family."

"I loved giving birth — without a doubt, the best experience of my life. Mothers are so powerful! What I love most is watching them grow, being by their side, and giving them all my love as they become wonderful little people."

"Now that the kids are older, things are much easier. But when they were small and I was working outside the home, it was hard. There was no time to rest, and sometimes not even to eat, as I rushed to pick them up from daycare and school. I feel grateful to have a job that lets me balance my time and spend the afternoons with them, and a wonderful husband who, even though he’s not home as much as we’d like, is fully present when he is."

"I miss couples' getaways, trips with my friends, and the freedom to go to a concert without worrying about early mornings at the soccer field. But I wouldn’t trade the quiet moments for anything. Bedtime snuggles, family movie nights, those are everything."

"I do Pilates a couple of times a week, I go for countryside walks, and I love catching up with my friends or planning girly days with my mom."

"The infinite love that’s born the moment you see their little face — it’s incredible. Also, the enormous capacity for sacrifice that comes so naturally to parents. You’d do anything for their happiness."

"When the five of us are together, we have so much fun. We love walking around the city, cooking a delicious meal at home, playing board games, or watching movies as a family. But our favorite thing is to plan trips to places the kids dream of visiting — seeing the world through their eyes is priceless."

"We’ve had the Mouse Chair and Table set for years, and it’s been a total success in Mauro’s room — first as a game table and now as a nightstand. In Teo’s room, we use the Noticeboard, which is fantastic for hanging photos and artwork. I also love the new Kiddo Shelving for storing toys and stories; the striking colors make it really stand out."
