Tomatosoup on mothers day

Today we enjoyed tomatosoup for lunch. I enjoyed it and the boys as well. Then we went to the beach and the weather was so lovely that the boys could get rid og their shoes and socks and enjoy the fresh breeze at the ocean getting their small feet all wet. Wonderful afternoon. In the morning I sat in the local church, I am going there regularly for a year now, but today it was the first time that I actually talked to the woman that always sits in the same row as me, we exchanged names, and when we wished peace to each other, we said our names and smiled, and I felt at home in this church for the first time since we have moved to this little city by the sea. I wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Mama's minestrone

May I reinvite you for an occasional bowl of soup ? Today we have some minestrone simmmering on the stove. My grandmother has italian roots, so enjoy it. One of my favourite bloggers is Ann Voskamp, author of A Holy Experience and I would therefore like to contribute to her project 1000 mamas here on my blog in which by thanking your mother in public you can help mothers and children in Haiti. My mother is wonderful. She is a warchild. Already her existence is a little miracle, in the midst of the war my grandmother became unexpected pregnant at 48 and delivered her baby in a night in August with a C-section, bombs were falling on the city, the electricity went of during the procedure, but mother and child survived. My mother and grandmother were always very close. My grandmother lived with us while I grew up. My mother and I are very close although we live in different cities, even countries, but there rarely goes a day without us talking to each other. She is always there for me. She always knows when her help is needed and offers it with open hands. Thank you, Mama. Charlotte.
