This year I decided to join the Ultimate Blog Party thrown by 5 Minutes for Mom. I don't think I've ever done a Carnival before, but this time I decided to jump in. There are so many amazing bloggers in the blogosphere, there's no way I'll find them all without participating in one of these events!! I don't like to feel like I'm missing out, and this seemed like a great chance to find new blogging friends!So if you are visiting from 5 Minutes for Mom, welcome!
My name is Elisa. I'm 32, happily married and a mother of two. These are my daughters, Sarah and Stella. Sarah is 9 and Stella is 2 and half.
We currently live in the NYC suburbs, but I'm originally from Italy and my husband Sascha is from Switzerland. We'll be returning to Switzerland this summer, after 3 fantastic years here on the East Coast.
I started blogging in April 2007, after a somewhat trying post-transatlantic-move first year, and decided to shamelessly share my lack of proficiency for the domestic life. Along with that, I also share some of the other things I enjoy while not cleaning, like fashion tidbits, shopping tips and sales, local (and not) events, cool spots in the blogosphere, and of course some adventures in parenting.
I have found many fantastic blogs in the past year, and I am looking forward to visiting yours. Thank you for passing by, I hope you enjoy your visit! See you at 5 Minutes for Mom :-)

Hey Elisa!
Just got your comment on my blog and thought I'd pop in here to join your party! Isn't this fun?! You asked if I designed my blog - I started with a template/theme and then did a lot of tweaking to get it the way I wanted it. I'm kind of geekish like that at times. :-)
That's very cool that you're moving to Switzerland! I drove through the country last year while I was in Europe, but didn't get to spend nearly enough time there. Would sure love to go back someday! Good to "meet" you.
I'm party hopping! Hope to see you at my party!

Hi Elisa, it's so very nice to meet you! This is my first time particpating in an UBP too. Now I can't help but wonder why I didn't do it sooner! :)
Happy blog hopping. Cute site.
I love your blog title! And you must miss Italy (or at least NYC....much better than Westchacha!). Stopping in from the blog party,

You're kids are beautiful! My first thought was that they looked very exotic, like Italian or something. Well that's because they are!
Hope you'll stop by Wishing Penny for my UBP :)
Aw, cute girls! I agree, it is definitely fun to hop around and visit everyone's party. Thanks for having us!
A big hello from Milan! Really enjoyed your party post. Good to hear you'll be back in Europe soon. Come on over to mine. The drinks are on me!
Visiting on my party route ... from UPB09!
Happy Blog Party! I'm not the greatest cleaner either. I started my blog after moving to the U.S. from Germany.
Hi Happy Blog Party 09. I am just passing through navigating my way through the blog party. I really like your blog allot.
