Welcome to our happy little section of the internet and here you can see all about our wild, beautiful shenanigans while raising an adorable little boy who we found one dark and stormy night. We tend to switch off in posting, sometimes it's Andrea and sometimes it's Dorea.

¡Feliz Halloween!¡No comas demasiados dulces! [10 - 31 - 18]

Happy Halloween to you and to yours, this is probably my most favorite time of the year if I’m being serious. As you may have already figured out, our Halloween costumes were a bit all over the place and Avalon really didn’t want to be on camera, which I can understand, hence why his costume isn’t pictured. So, I was Maya this year, Thomas was obviously Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro and Andrea was hella lazy, so she was a glamorous witch. (We got a family photo after we were done trick or treating, hence why everything is illuminated.)

We got a lot of compliments from the neighbors (Especially for Thomas! So much candyyyyy) so there was that, and if we ran into a few homophobes, let’s just say that Avalon showed just how scary he could be. Until next time!

[sugary-plumb]

I’d love some more sims friends! I haven’t been around much lately and there’s no one that I really talk to on here anymore 😊

[underwater-lava]

The Book of The Land and The Sea [ 10 - 22 - 18 ]

- Andrea and Dorea were friends since childhood, and as teens/young adults had a crush on eachother--  Andrea was the first to fall for Dorea but wasn’t sure if her feelings were romantic or platonic until much later in life and Dorea started to see Andrea with different eyes later in their teenage years, but didn't want to admit it or even acknowledge that she wasn’t as straight as she thought she was, as she was afraid of familial backlash-

-They weren't sure the other would like them back and were afraid to let it ruin their friendship, they decided to confess anyways. Turns out, sometimes risks are worth it.

Things about Dorea:

- Dorea is a cool and very sharp business woman, having owned her resort. Although she is loud and obnoxious in every facet of her life, including the bedroom, that changes when she runs her business, her prized resort that she’d been working so hard for. She runs it efficiently, so much so that she can give Andrea a run for her money. She is very chill, very fun to be around, and a sweetheart who fails at trying to be a “bad girl” or a “rebel.” Dorea can be a little cocky at times, and tends to avoid talking about the elephant in the room if she is not in the mood to do it so she can appear a little dismissive, though she can become serious when the situation calls for it. Tends to be very much of a loner in terms of that when things are not okay she pretends she is fine so as to not trouble everyone else with her issues.

- Loves pineapple on pizza and the Sharpedonado series

- is of Hawaiian-Hispanic descent

-Is the adopted child of her family

- loves 90s music

- hates it when strangers touch her hair

- has a beautiful singing voice, like a siren almost.

- lives with chronic pain from an old injury

- Dorea used to “”date”” her head of security/bodyguard Simon when they were children and Andrea finds this hilarious because he later came out as LGBTQIA+ too.

- sings a lot of Japanese karaoke

- owns at least 5 different bottles of hair care products

- has many siblings but no cousins

Things about Andrea:

- Andrea is… secretly not that much of a stick in the mud, hehe. She tries very hard to appear serious, professional and quiet to everyone else, but she relaxes when she is with people he trusts, namely Avalon and Dorea, as well as Thomas. She is intelligent but sometimes is too smart for her own good and tends to overthink. She is the snark master and tries to act like an ice queen, but its stupid easy to get on her nerves and gets riled up easily. Andrea also tends to think she is usually right about certain things and gets defensive about it, but in the end she will always listen. As a film director, her “overconfident, dominating and powerful queen” persona partially hides the fact that she is a little insecure about a lot of things, including the state of her fertility.

- Andrea is so busy all the time, she jumps from project to project, task to task, until her office looks like a tornado went through it. She wants to do everything, all at once, so she does bits at a time, sometimes passing the things she’s kept on the back burner too long to her PAs when they realize she’s doing too much. (In short: ANDREA HAS A TOO MUCH GENE

-used to identify as a lesbian when she was younger, but now identifies as pansexual.

- knits in her free time

- is afraid of the water and the ocean, so she’ll cope by staying inland tanning with her giant floppy sunhat.

- grew up with her father mostly raising her as her mother was often called away as an archaeologist, was half-raised in a farm alongside her older cousin Nathalie, who gave her Hephaestus.

- is near-sighted.

- Andrea has second-hand anxiety when it comes to movies, meaning: she is someone who cannot shut up while watching a movie, she spends 80% of the time criticizing it and 20% of the time telling insider trivia about something mentioned in it. Dorea will literally smack her face with a pillow or engage in a popcorn fight if she gets too annoying, while Avalon watches and says nothing, but teases her too, sometimes.

- Cannot keep a regular sleep schedule, so she is often glad for her flexible work schedule, but on days where she can’t sleep and it’s real important, she takes Melatonin supplements.

- stims when she is trying to focus and happy flaps when excited. 

- has many cousins but no siblings

Big Boy Room for a Big Boy [ 10 - 20 - 18 ]

Its been a very eventful few weeks in the Bellitudo-Von Essen household. My cousin Nathalie is visting from Fallarbor, so we’re going out tonight to show her nightlife in the city, and we have finally started slowly weaning Thomas off of his beloved pacifiers after he professed that he was a big boy who wanted to go to school next year. So... For the past few weeks, Dorea, Avalon and I have been substituting day-time pacifiers for cuddly toys, his second favorite comfort item. Whenever he cries for his pacifier, we hand him a cuddly toy instead. So far, it seems to be going well, today he even asked for his stuffed Treecko toy instead of his pacifier! Needless to say, I’m a very proud Mutti!

As far as the night time goes, we cannot seem to get him to sleep without it. Cuddly toys just don’t seem to cut it as far as night time comfort goes, which is fine, I’d rather he use a pacifier than stick his fingers in his mouth and possibly get sick. A person’s hands are the most germ riddled thing, after all. 

One of the gifts we ordered for Thomas’s “birthday” from SketchbookPixels also came today, and we decided to set it up early, following a couple of incidents where Thomas has managed to climb out of his crib and scare the life out of me, but mainly in celebration that he was a big boy and didn’t need a halfass toddler bed out of his old crib. Thomas took instantly to the “Big Kid” bed, quickly learning to clamber in and out of it, claiming it. We are crossing our fingers that the first night in the big kid beds goes off without a hitch tonight! Well, other than me inevitably crying after I tuck them in.

Also, have some pictures of Thomas looking a little spooked before Avalon encouraged him to be silly with him. I love these two boys so much, you guys have no idea.

Until next time~,

Interior Decoration | Living Room Remodeling [ 10 - 9 - 18 ]

Sorry for the lack of news but this week has been VERY busy! Thomas was sick for a good part of the week and we renovated our living room as there was an accident involving Avalon trying to cook with our fondue pot. So, it was practically impossible for me update the blog at the end of the day…Nonetheless, decoration montage.

Let’s be honest, I’m not the kind of person who loves to decorate, that’s Andrea’s shtick, though Avalon sure was a trooper with the long sofa we decided. Onto decoration- We have a very open living room / kitchen so we chose light colors, a light grayish black, a black and wood entertainment center, complete with a Playstation 4 and an Amazon Echo, as well as a 52 inch TV mounted so we don’t have to worry about little fingers on the monitor. We ordered all our furniture from the lovely ladies over at SIMcredible!Designs.com, to be specific, it’s a mashup of the Vaccari collection and Treselle collection over at this retailer. Good quality furniture and it has very reasonable pricing I’d say~.

My favorite pieces of the “room”, would have to be the Amazon Echo because I can order it to do whatever I want, include order it to play Careless Whisper by Wham! and the poster because there is truth in that proclamation. I will also link it because it is art and without art there is pain and suffering.

“Without coffee there would be chaos and darkness”

I’m really happy with our new space and I hope you will enjoy these pictures, especially now that we can relax and game, as well as cook, all in the same room. Have a lovely day, ladies and men and our nonbinary friends~ ♥

Last Days Of Warmth [ 10 - 3 - 18 ]

Hello, everyone, with the last few days of warmth upon us, Dorea and I decided to take our boys to the beach before Fall truly arrives and then the desolate hell that is Winter is upon us. This is a frequent question by the way, how bad is winter here in Hoenn. Answer- FURCHTBAR. Absolutely horrible! Ten out of ten would not recommend. Though I think it’ll be better because Thomas has never seen snow. 

So, because I am thalassophobic (meaning: TERRIFIED OF THE SEA KEEP THAT AWAY ASAP) I sunbathed with Balthazar and Hephaestus on the beach today. I even finished up a book I was reading before Thomas arrived, Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine via Audiobooks, because I was dozing by that point hehe. Most of these photos were taken as we left, but you know.....Live and learn.

Dorea splashed around in the crystalline water with Thomas and Avalon, once he figured out where we were. She even tried giving Thomas a few little swimming lessons (which he did not take well to, so he ended up making sand castles), while Avalon tried out windsurfing. I’d say he did pretty well. Though Thomas ended up not liking the water, I’m hoping we have a few more days before we have to start breaking out full on layering. Until next time~, happy autumn~

Date Night: Guy’s Edition [ 09 - 22 - 18 ]

So, Andrea and I finally got a date night, with Avalon and our regular babysitter, Suzanna Reynolds taking charge of watching Thomas while we went to the local 5 star restaurant for dinner and then we went to Andrea’s movie opening. The only reason why we didn’t bring Thomas along for the movie is because it’s a little bit mature for the little guy, so he had a guy’s night with Suzanna’s supervision, since Avalon insisted. Weird, since Avalon is pretty adamant that he can handle Thomas by himself. I think he has a crush, hehe. Anyway, here’s a few pictures and some funny dialogue I heard later when Thomas playing with Avalon.

A: "Wotcha gonna do, when they come?"  

T:"I gotta beliebe!"

A: "You gotta do what!?" 

 T: "I gotta redeembe!" 

 A: "You sure about that!?"

 T: "I gotta reliebe!" 

 A: "You gotta do what!?" 

 T: "I gotta receibe!" 

 A: "But most important?" 

 T:"I gotta BELIEBE!!"

....I’m not sure what ANY of that means, but Thomas is actually really good at that game. Until next time~.
