Stories, culture, and the everyday life

About me

Hi, I'm Rebby!

I’m an expat mom living in Italy, raising my kids somewhere between espresso breaks, pasta dinners, and the beautiful chaos of everyday life.

This wasn’t always the plan… but somehow, it turned into a life I wouldn’t trade.

Life in Italy

I imagined slow mornings, charming markets, and effortlessly raising children who would happily eat everything put in front of them.

Reality?

A mix of magic, mess, culture shock, and a lot of learning as we went.

Some days feel like a dream.
Other days feel like… trying to figure out school forms in another language while reheating coffee for the third time.

What Life Looks Like Now

Our days are shaped by simple rhythms:

  • Walking more, rushing less

  • Eating meals together (even when they’re very basic)

  • Letting the kids be part of real, everyday life

There’s less perfection here—and more presence.

And somewhere along the way, I started to fall in love with that.

What You’ll Find Here

This space is a mix of:

  • Life in Italy (the real version)

  • Simple, family-friendly food

  • Motherhood, routines, and everyday rhythms

  • Easy ways to make life feel a little more special

Think of it as a blend of story + inspiration + practical ideas you can actually use.

This life isn’t perfect—but it’s full. Full of small moments, simple routines, and the kind of days that feel ordinary while you’re in them… but meaningful when you look back. I’m so glad you’re here 🤍
