Happy Holidays

Although I have all gifts taken care of, one of the most important ones is missing, baby's. I am not having any "ahhh" moments lately, mostly because I can't seem to choose a gift that he goes crazy over. It could be that he is only 17 months old, but I am having a tough time. My husband is sorted, and is usually easy to shop for, since I usually go the electronics route. I also went that way for my M.I.L. since she is in serious need of technology!
I have the rest of today and Saturday to keep on looking. Fingers crossed.

I don't know about you guys, but I am also having a hell of a time keeping my baby's hands off the xmas tree. He has pulled out every single decoration he can reach. Right now it kind of looks bare on the bottom and full on the top!
Merry Christmas to everyone, and I hope that 2012 brings health and happiness, and most importantly peace to all.

M.I.A and Settembrini Café

I have been missing in action for the past month. Between a 2 week work trip, and a 2 week visit home, I have not had time to post.

I paid a visit to Settembrini café last weekend by accident. We thought we had booked at the restaurant but the lady who took the reservation failed to mention that. She also failed to remember that we booked for 4 plus a baby who needed his stroller to fit by the table or have a high chair provided. When we arrived, the waiter looked at us in horror when we placed the stroller by the table since it blocked the space they had to move around in. He looked at us in horror again when we asked for a high chair. He suggested we put the baby in our lap. Hmmm, it was obvious the guy has no idea what having a baby means. Anyway, other than that service was slow and inefficient, the menu was boring, and very limited, while the food was just acceptable.

I look forward to going back to the restaurant since the location is nice and the interior looked very cozy and perfect for a romantic dinner on a cold night, but I will not be going back to the café.
( By the way, the café used to be Giolitti).
