In this crazy society that we live in, where people are always after the newer, bigger and better; where you can buy (and loose) everything you have in a split second..... it's always comforting to realize our objectives are a bit different than 'the norm'. Yes, my dad would say I have an expensive taste (who doesn't??) but at the end of the day give me my family, my few dear friends and the opportunity to travel, to see and to show the world to my kids and we're all set :)
Friendships particularly are few and further apart, some that started some 20 years ago and some that are recently blossoming but still so dear. An old friend is kind of like the love we have for our grandparents...... it's been there for so long that you just cannot imagine yourself without it . The newer friends is like a new boyfriend... so darn exciting and so much to learn from each other that you see yourself making plans 24/7.
I can see Bernardo starting new friendships in school and that to me is just so beautiful. I don't expect him to be close to all his new friends forever, but I do hope he keeps these memories close to his heart for as long as he can remember (last not forget, he's only 3 years old!!).
Jay has been his buddy since they were 9 months old; and Christine mine :) Watching them grow together has been a privilege and a blessing.
Victoria and Erna have also been a good surprise these last couple of months. Great family from Iceland with priorities and goals similar to ours. My weekly breakfasts with Erna (when I can remember) and our family outings are just tremendous!

About Me
- Mariana
- Aventura, FL, United States
- I have a few passions in my life: my family, my close friends, photography and travel! My kids - Bernardo and Miguel - bring a smile to my face each and every day (and to whomever crosses their path) - and are just awesome. Fred is my partner in crime or "pau para toda obra" and I couldn't live without him. Mom, dad and Gui are one of those special trio you're never going to find in your life: simply authentic, no matter what. My friends are not numerous but very dear to me: some from 20 somewhat years ago, some from a few months, some close some so far - but always in my heart. My photography is slowing getting better.... and our travels are just not more often due to financial and time constraints - but we keep on saving and certainly keep on planning! Oh, and food - did I mention that I love to cook??
