About
Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil I married an American man in England where our two daughters were also born. We live in Canada now and our friends and family are pretty much scattered all over the world. It is my deepest desire to keep in touch with everyone but this is impossible on a one-to-one basis. This journal is born out of the intention of keeping our family and friends up to date with our adventures. Here you will stumble upon snipets of our home life, stories about our children and parenting challenges, things we find inspiring, crafts and knitting projects. You may even find some posts that refer to my previous life as a Design and Innovation consultant.

Originalmente do Rio de Janeiro, casei-me com um americano na Inglaterra onde também nasceram as nossas duas filhas. Hoje moramos no Canadá e nossos amigos e familiares estão espalhados pelo mundo afora. É o meu desejo mais profundo manter o contato com todos, mas nem sempre é possível fazê-lo com a frequência que desejamos. Esse jornal surge da intenção de manter a família e os amigos em dia com as nossas aventuras. Aqui você vai encontrar estórias da nossa vida em família, das nossas filhas e nossos desafios como pais, projetos de artesanato, tricô e coisas que achamos interessantes. Pode ser que você encontre também alguma coisa referente a minha vida passada como consultora de design e inovação.

Dear Luciana:
Perky sent me information to give me access to this site. I have now read a good many of the stories, descriptions of activities and other tibdbits posted. I am delighted that in this way I can get to know all of you and keep updated with your activities.
Yesterday J.E. and I went to see Julie and Julia and I cannot help but compare the movie with your blog. Did you know that someone named Julie Powell actually adopted a year long project of preparing all 500+ recipes in Julia Child’s cookbook. She created a blog and in it each night she posted her day’s cooking activity and her emotional responses to it. At the end of a year, filled with both fun and frustration she discovered that she was a writer and had a book to show for it. Cute movie!
So – who knows where all this may take you!!!
As you probably know, we were just in Phila, only sorry you were not there at the same time. Perky had a luncheon for us at which she surprised me by inviting two of my old friends to join us – what fun!
We took Dean (Gail’s oldest) to Chicago for 6 days – a spectacularly beautiful city – the architecture in unsurpassed and plenty to do for kids, and older people also – we had a great time.
Now that I have access, I look forward to following your blog.
Love to Warren and to you also – Aunt Babs

Hello Lucianna. The children have just returned to school after a long half term break. I came home to check my email messages and thought that I hadn’t looked at your blog for some time, so I found my way back to it. You certainly have been busy. I so admire the way you uphold and present your work which is consistently loving and daring. I was so glad to hear of your blessing and ritual for the maple tree. It would have troubled me to be a part of the tree being cut down, so what a wonderful way to meet this situation. The photos of Warren’s bread workshop demonstrated that it was very well attended. In this way, I do miss the active and particapatory spirit of the North Americans. Your photos and comments of your hand work help me to begin to honor some of the things I have done myself which feel rather invisible, so thank you. I came home today feeling very lonely and tired. I send you all my good wishes and love.
Anne
