A Day in my Life in Positano - How we shop & Carlo gets Creative!

Just a normal day in our Positano life...Possibly the coldest day of the year, it actually snows in Positano half way through the video!
We had pretty much run out of supplies so had to go and stock up so if you've ever wondered how we get the shopping from the road to the hose you'll find out here!
Also, Carlo was suddenly inspired with a DIY moment and wanted me to film it all (that's a first!) He pretty much took over the vlog with his creative ways which was fun and I hope he joins in more often.

    WOW.....This is gonna sound really weird, but just this morning, I was musing about your videos, and I was smiling as I thought about how cute Holly is, and immediately pictured her in a cute little raincoat, toddling along beside you two as you go out on your various errands and adventures. As the image crossed my mind, I realized that I'd never seen her dressed in any doggy apparel, and thought "Well, maybe Nicki is one of those folks that thinks clothes on dogs are silly, and doesn't use them." I still couldn't shake the image from my newly awake brain, but figured that since I'd just viewed a post when there had been nonstop rain in Positano for a long time, and maybe that's what suggested it to my still sleepy brain. I finished waking up and went on about my day. THEN....late this afternoon, I ran across THIS post, and there was Holly, jogging along with you in her cute little rain/snow suit!! (WHAT ARE THE ODDS??!!)😮😮😮 I'd never seen this post before, and I'd remember if I had, because I was envying the coat rack Carlo made. (I was just picturing something like it for my own hallway yesterday!) I get these weird little alarmingly accurate flashes from time to time, but not in any way that's terribly useful, unfortunately. However, if I do get a strong feeling that you should buy a lottery ticket, I'll be sure to let you know, lol! 😂😂😂

I think your lovely little dog has some Pekingese in him. It’s so nice you take him with you everywhere. And watching the cat come up to be brushed oh my goodness how sweet. Much better than the Kardashians.

    Watching these videos helps me keep my dream alive, that I will one day see Italy. Because it's not just the beautiful architecture that I want to see, I want to meet ordinary people and hear the language of my Nonna (she was from Napoli). I love how you show the splendor of Positano, but also the ordinary daily life of living there and the things that make your family unique. You make everything interesting, you have quite a gift for vlogging! ❤

So, for Christmas 2016, I asked my nephew’s to get me my own small tool box with tools. They did and add to it at my birthday and Christmas. I can now find basic tools when I need them :) Thanks for sharing your lives with us!!!!
