We spent 7 glorious days at Massimo's home. The room was not exactly as it is pictured on the site, it is better! We even got to see one of the other apartments and it was as lovely as ours. Everything you could possibly need is there for you and more. Upon arrival, Massimo explained where everything is located, helped with maps and did his best to accomodate us in any way we requested. He is a very kind and wonderful man. We took the cooking lesson with Martina. Do yourself a favor, TAKE the lesson. Martina is a gracious, humorous and fun teacher as well as a fabulous cook. Beautiful too! We had a great time during the class and such a delicious dinner afterwards. We were stuffed after eating so much food! In the evening we walked through the olive orchard surrounded by thousands of fireflies. Like a magical fairytale. We met the other couples staying in the other apartments and enjoyed many lovely conversations together on the terrace. Massimo even opened up the cantina (what we refer to as a cellar in the US) and allowed us to look in. Amazing. The peace and beauty of this place is wonderful. It is also located near enough to surrounding wineries and shopping. The views are spectacular. This is a great place to stay while enjoying your time in Tuscany and we hope to be able to return someday. Thank you so much Massimo and Martina!Andy2015-06-05T00:00:00Z
I had a wonderful week at Montaioni. Massimo was a great host. He came immediately to help me finding his home, when I arrived and was there, when I had a question or problem. I enjoyed the lovely furnished towerhouse, which offered everything you need. Not even a fragrant bouquet of flowers was missing. I loved it to sit outside with the view over the warm lights of Pontassieve in the evening, hearing the little owls in the background. There"s a nice nursery nearby. I hope to return soon.Annegret2015-04-06T00:00:00Z
We did not know exactly what to expect when we followed our host down a country lane after getting lost on our way to the tower. What we found when we arrived was beyond our imagination. A warm welcome, an absolutely gorgeous view, and a beautiful home awaited us there. Massimo was very kind and helpful, but not at all hovering; we were so grateful for his extensive local knowledge. The castle (it really is a little castle) is beautifully appointed and comfortable, and its proximity to Florence and her sights cannot be beat at less than a half an hour into town. If you're planning a trip to the area, I can't recommend a stay with this lovely family highly enough!scott2015-08-27T00:00:00Z
Si vous aimez un lieu hors du temps,perdu dans les bois avec un panorama Toscan à couper le souffle,si vous aimez l'Histoire et le charme des intérieurs de château,alors vous ne pouvez pas rater d'aller à la Torre rosa,vous serez accueilli et vous y vivrez comme chez vous!Joseph2017-05-20T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Massimo's place was perfect! We (a couple) stood there for two weeks in october, at this time the weather was still brilliant. The flat is huge and clean, but cosy aswell, everything you need is there (also details not listed in the description as coffee-machine, hairdryer). It fits the description but is actualy more beautiful. The furniture is amazing and there is a lot of information material - even some books in english! The surrounding is breathtaking, even more beautiful than we imagined after seeing the photos at airbnb. As soon as you step out the flat's door, you have an amazing sight over the hills and down to the valley (especially when mornings are beautifully foggy). Torre delle Rose is a perfectly renovated medieval estate - situated on a hill, silent and isolated but great for discovering tuscany (Arezzo, San Gimignano, Siena etc. - but you really need a car) and also very close to Florence (25 min by car to free parking at piazzale Michelangiolo from where you can reach the center with a short walk)! The very close surrounding is also very worth discovering, villages like Pelago are little pearls undiscovered by tourism. Massimo is the perfect host! He lives on the proberty with his very nice family, that means you can always reach him, and he is always there to help, answer your questions (Restaurants, tips for trips etc.) and help you with any queries. He also gave us a short tour at his great proberty, which has a thrilling history and is absolutely worth being discovered! In the same time, Massimo is also a very descent guy, and if you want to be by yourself, you will not notice his presence. At one point of our stay, all three flats were taken, and we almost did not notice the other travelers, as the property is huge and everyone has his_her own space. There are actually a lot of different possibilities to sit and relax outside! We really had the perfect holiday at Massimo's place. If you are looking for a great place to discover tuscany and spend a great time - Stop Now - just book Torre delle Rose, you will never regret it :)! Thank you so much Massimo!Luc2014-10-24T00:00:00Z
Torre delle Rose is a true Airbnb gem – I think it was our best Airbnb experience so far. It exceeded our expectations on every level. Our vacations in Tuscany were perfect, in a big part thanks to our decision to stay at Torre delle Rose. First, the apartment. It's actually bigger than the photographs suggest – it has over 70 sq. meters (750 sq. feet), and the celings in the living room are very high (it seemed like 4 m or 12 ft). Even when it gets really hot outside, the apartment keeps being pleasantly cool. The interior is very tastefully decorated, and the furniture is mostly antiques (which seem to be restored – everything is fully functional). There's a well equiped kitchen, board games, a picnic set, umbrellas, a broad selection of books in English (starting with Umberto Eco, going through Harry Potter, and ending in Dan Brown – so almost everybody should find something to their taste). There's even a small collection of movies that happen to take place in Tuscany! It really seems that Massimo and his family really thought of *everything*. Oh, and the wi-fi is good quality. Second, the location. The farm and house are gorgeous, and the views would fit a reneissance painting. In the night, there's lots of fireflies... It's just surreally beautiful. In Rosano (the closest hamlet) there's a very nice trattoria and store. Florence is around 30 minutes of driving away, depending on the traffic. If you drive East, you can go to the Foresti Casentinesi National Park. Third, the hosts. Massimo and his family were charming and very helpful. We learned quite a lot about the farm's surroundings. All in all, I wish we could have stayed longer – one week was just not enough.Ryszard2014-05-25T00:00:00Z
This was a relaxing part of Italy. Spacious, beautiful and clean with beautiful vistas form the patio. Massimo was very friendly and accommodating.Patti2017-04-10T00:00:00Z
Arriving in Florence in the rain and thunder more Holland-style, but arriving at the accommodation of the family of Massimo is really Tuscan-style. A warm and heartfelt welcome. It was late when we arrived and we had booked the diner with the family. It was really tasteful and we loved the conversation & laughter in the wonderful setting. Entering the Torre delle Rose apartment on the ground floor through the big iron door, you feel at home immediately. The living room, sleeping room, kitchen and batrhroom are decorated very tasteful and have all you need. The next day Massimo pointed out where the shops are and we chose to go to the big COOP which has all you need. So we could make our food and sit outside and enjoy the wonderful views of the area. We really loved our laid-back stay. You might hear dogs barking or some sounds of a nearby family, but on the whole the place is a tranquil and peaceful haven, where you can relax all day or after coming back from wonderful trips with your (rental) car in Tuscany. Thank you very much Massimo & family for making our stay more than pleasant. Take care and hope to meet again!Harald2015-07-29T00:00:00Z

Most amazing dinner ever. Our host was perfect, the pictures do not do it justice. Breathtaking. I reccomend the hike to the mission. Saw many wild pigs trampeling through the woods at about 6am. The local stores and butcher was fenominal. BE WARE they do hold odd hours, so bring a bottle of wine for the first night only.Michael2012-06-27T00:00:00Z
Medieval Watchtower! What's more to add; it's a great experience. The view from the tower is fantastic. Even the bus ride on bus #23 from the Viale Europa day parking to Florence is interesting; get off the bus when you see the Duomo a block away & the throngs of tourists beelining it. And Majla & Marco are great hosts too.Hg2012-07-05T00:00:00Z
The place is incredible! The bus ride to Florence is no more than 30-40 mins depending on traffic and the stop is conveniently located a block away from Maila's place. We got lost several times, and had various difficulties getting back and forth due to bad planning, and Maila/Paoi were very understanding and always helped us out. Greatly recommended!!Ramiro2012-07-23T00:00:00Z
AMAZING!!!!! We had a delightful 4 night stay at the watchtower. Majla and Marco were very hospitable and gracious hosts. The apartment has such character and everything you need. We used it as a base to drive to Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano and Florence. At the end of each day it was like coming back to your own home. I HIGHLY recommend taking up the offer of dinner prepared by Majla and Marco. We did this on our last night and it was fantastic! Thanks for a great opportunity and sharing your kindness.Sharyn2013-09-22T00:00:00Z
A truly wonderful place to stay and Majla was an excellent host! The pasta making was one of the highlights of our two week honeymoon. Thank you so much - we loved it!Nick&Mini2013-09-24T00:00:00Z
Our favorite part of our stay was sitting on the watchtower for an early happy hour with the wine provided by our hosts. Second favorite was our pasta cooking class with Majla, then coming up a few steps to our place with the final product for a great dinner until we were stuffed. It finished off our time in Tuscany to a tee. The driveway is tricky to enter, as it says in the directions, but once in, your car is quite safe. We packed a bag for the nights there, which was a good idea, and left the rest in the car. The stairs are not as bad as I thought, but the lights in the stairwells are timed, so don't dawdle on the stairs. We loved our host's suggestion for dinner at Nuovo Ranch, but thought the wine-tasting at the villa next door was overpriced at 12 euros for 2 sips of wine and a breadstick. The area is stunning for a drive. The place is old, so expect quirks, especially if you are American. The bathroom is down the stairs from the master bedroom. The living room is large, and kitchen was adequate. We loved reading about the history of the place, so read the blue book when you get there. We loved the place and our busy hosts, who speak perfect English.Gay 2014-09-16T00:00:00Z
How can we add more to what has already been said? Majla has a special place and was a great hostess. Stroll to the local bottega for supplies and have your dinner on the tower roof terrace, looking down towards the lights of Firenze - wow! Easy to reach the sights of Firenze, too. Can't wait to visit again and stay longer!Tim2014-10-19T00:00:00Z
Nothing left to be said after the reviews prior to this. Majla is extremely passionate about what she does and will go 110% above and beyond if there is something you need. Unexpectedly, Marco is an awesome chef and the cooking class was a wonderful time. We even got added last minute to the wine tour that I know was probably difficult to arrange -but she made it happen as if it were no problem for her. To run these 2 apartments, a very busy business AND take care of a 12 yr old in sports as well as a teenager on top of it...hats off Majla! Beautiful area, very peaceful, everything you need is in the tower. No complaints and would definitely stay with them again.Todd2014-10-01T00:00:00Z

Perfect escape from the hustle & bustle of Florence. Only a short train ride away and then a short walk from the station to the walk. The house is close to cafés, bar, pastry shops and even a grocery store. It's a tiny town where everyone knows each other. Our host Leonardo was amazing. He even picked us up from the train station! The house is perfect for two people. The pool is so enjoyable on a hot day and the view is to die for! All around a really wonderful experience!Jessica2015-06-24T00:00:00Z

Room with a View was exactly that. It overlooked Florence on our private balcony. It was absolutely beautiful! The room was very comfortable and pleasant and spacious for myself and two kids. Mariam and Dahli were excellent hosts, very warm, hospitable, accommodating, helpful and friendly. I would recommend this accommodation without hesitation.Tami2012-07-29T00:00:00Z
Mariam is a wonderful host. Good breakfast every day, and helped with pointers about navigating florence. Her english is solid. The room is great, very private with a balcony and a view. House is off the beaten path but this is nice in many ways because it provides a break. We walked a lot while there and got to know florence as a result. The bus is very reliable as well. Buy bus passes at the stationary store down the street from the stop or the news stand a few blocks away. Be prepared to walk a mile or so every day if you don't take the bus but again wandering is the best part about florence. We would def stay here again.Jesse2014-08-10T00:00:00Z
What can I say? I felt at home!! Mariam and her husband are the best hosts. They did everything to make me feel comfortable and welcome in their home. The room{s} are beautifully designed - it's an experience in itself staying there. The location is great - a quick walk to the city center. If the weather is bad, there is a bus stop on the corner. I hope to return in the near future with my wife and daughter. Great experience!!!Tom2015-02-04T00:00:00Z
I had problems with my flight and getting into Italy. As a result, I missed multiple trains to Firenze, my first night stay with Mariam, and was forced to travel with more luggage than planned. Mariam and her husband were extremely understanding. The following day her husband met me at the train station and helped me with my excess luggage and he took the bus with me to their home. The room was EXACTLY as pictured in the photos. It was very nice, clean, and absolutely a wonderful place to stay in while in Firenze. Every morning when I woke Mariam had a great continental breakfast waiting for me with fresh coffee. Their home is wonderful and their family is extremely nice. They made me feel right at home, offered directions, helped me to book museum reservations, helped me with my italian (as it's not very good,) and helped me to book a train back to Rome. Their home is located not far from the center and is an easy walk or very short bus ride away. There is a large supermarket very near, a fantastic pizza place, and cafe also very close to their home. The day I left Mariam's husband insisted on taking me to the bus station by car because taking the bus with the excess luggage that I had would have been difficult. I couldn't thank him enough. When I return to Firenze I will always book my stay with them from now on. It's the perfect place to stay and I highly recommend it!Nicole2012-06-17T00:00:00Z
Mariam was an excellent host! She was warm, caring and attentive to my needs. Every morning, she prepared a hearty breakfast for me before I headed out to sightsee. On my last day, I had to leave extremely early to catch my train, and Mariam packed food to take with me. Just one example of her hospitality. I didn't get to interact with her husband much but he made it a point to have breakfast with me on my last day. He was great to talk to and he even let me use his computer after to print some documents I needed. Their home is lovely - wonderfully designed by themselves (Mariam and her husband are architects). The room is very spacious and has a separate closet area, a mezzanine level with an extra single bed, and a balcony. The apartment is close to town - about a 20minute walk to the city centre. My stay with Mariam and her husband has got to be one of the best experiences I've had from Airbnb. I highly recommend staying with them!Andrew2014-12-09T00:00:00Z
This was a beautiful place to stay! Mariam and her husband were two of the kindest people we have ever met. If we visit Italy again, we will try to drop in and say hi. The loft they provide within their home is beautiful, clean and private. Would stay here again for sure.Kristen2013-06-15T00:00:00Z
Miriam and her husband were so sweet and the room was gorgeous! It was nice because you definitely have privacy even though you're in another person's home. We were greeted with wine and a snack, and were given a breakfast in the mornings! I would stay here again for sure!Kerry2015-10-16T00:00:00Z
Mariam and her family were so sweet. Staying her house was the best choice of my trip in Italy. The room was even better than what I saw on website, it was big and perfectly clean,and I was assured to have private space. Mariam prepared a breakfast for me (which was very thanksful:D), and I liked the coffee the most. Plus, the way going her house is quite easy! I would say there's no reason of not choosing her house when you're considering Florence! Thanks, Mariam! :)JISU2012-07-17T00:00:00Z

The room in Mina & Florea's house was great. It was clean, comfortable, and the fan was nice to have during the hot evenings. Besides the room, Mina surprised us with homemade cake and coffee two days in a row for breakfast! It was a really nice touch that made our stay in Florence that much better. The location of the apartment makes for a long walk to the center, but it is easily reachable by bus (Mina will give you all the details and information you want on buses, timetables, etc.) Overall I highly recommend staying with Mina & Florea!Derek2016-07-28T00:00:00Z

Aunque está algo lejos del centro, unos 40' caminando, esta muy bien comunicado por autobusMiguel Àngel2016-10-15T00:00:00Z
Mina est une hôte fantastique, très accueillante et toujours de bon conseil au moment du petit déjeuner! La chambre est spacieuse et agréable, l'appartement est situé à environ 30mn de marche du centre historique et une ligne de bus juste à côté vous permet également d'y accéder rapidement. Merci encore à Mina pour ce séjour!Foucaud2016-10-31T00:00:00Z
Malgré de bons conseils et un logement situé près de la ville, la chambre n'est clairement pas agréable. En effet, le canapé-lit est de très mauvaise qualité, au point d'avoir mal au dos après une nuit. De plus, situé sur une avenue très passagère, la chambre (le salon de l'appartement) est très bruyante, il est impossible de dormir la fenêtre ouverte. Par ailleurs, la propreté laisse à désirer. Clairement, je ne recommanderai à personne cette chambre malgré le prix très abordable. ************* In spite of good advices and good location, the bedroom is clearly not great. The sofa bed is very bad quality. After one night, my back hurt me. Moreover, the room gives onto a noisy avenue. You can't let the windows opened during the night. About the cleanness, this is far to be perfect. To sum up, despite the price is low, I can't advice to anyone to sleep in this room.Delphine2016-06-25T00:00:00Z

Sono stato per la seconda volta a Firenze. Città dei tesori archtitettonici e le famose opera del arte. L'appartamento si trova fuori centro storico ma con belli collegamenti di autobus. Il piu bella sorpresa in Firenza e da vero quest straordinario appartamento di Luca. La sua casa è bellissima, disegnata con senso particolare di stile è attrezzata con tanta pazienza. La stanza per ospite, privata e molto comoda è molto bella e piacevole e offre tutto che vi potrebbe servire. Stile , design e il alto standard di ospitare caratterizzano questo posto. Appartamento entra in un piccolo giardino privato, in area che è molto tranquilla. Host Luca e molto gentile e aiutaste di farvi il resto piu piacevole. Appartamento perfettamente arredato e pulito, spazioso e luminoso. Quando vengo per la prossima volta in Firenza decidero lo stesso!Bogdan2016-07-24T00:00:00Z

Sandro & Ludovica ensured that every part of my trip was as easy as possible. I was sent up to date train schedule & helpful tips before my arrival. Chatting to them over a cup of tea or coffee was the perfect way to end my days in Florence. They were both interesting to talk to & also eager to learn about my life. I was terribly sad that my time with them had come to an end but I do hope to see them again one day.Stephanie2017-01-15T00:00:00Z

Eine wirklich wunderschöne Unterkunft. Super großes kuscheliges Bett, alles war sauber, und man hat alles dort was man für einen Urlaub braucht. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen wie auch verabschiedet. Ich kann es mit gutem Gewissen nur weiter empfehlen und wir würden auch sofort wieder kommen. Wir wünschen Katja und Ihrer Familie alles gute, und Danke nochmal für die paar wunderschönen Tage in Florenz :)! Ps: Katja war sehr spontan und hat immer sehr schnell geantwortet.Lina2017-09-12T00:00:00Z
Das Apartment ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und lädt zum Wohlfühlen ein. Außerdem war Katja eine tolle Gastgeberin und hat alle Fragen schnell und detailliert beantwortet. Der einzige Wermutstropfen ist die recht enge Straße die zur Wohnung führt und mit dem Auto anfangs gewöhnungsbedürftig ist. Allerdings wird das durch die Hanglage wettgemacht, durch die man einen wunderschönen Blick auf die Olienhaine und auf die Stadt hat.Susanne2017-09-15T00:00:00Z

So if you always thought to yourself, you know, I don't have any selfies in an olive orchard, then look no further. Incredible views, a gorgeous porch, and a restful stay away in Tuscany. Katja gave us great recommendations for wineries and an incredible thermal bath spa to check out. We loved every second of our stay and would go back in a heartbeat.Dylan2017-09-08T00:00:00Z
Lovely standard of accommodation -comfortable bed, quality fittings, well equipped and very private and romantic and remote. You really do need a car here and the road up to the apartment is pretty steep and narrow. Easy to get to Florence though and a great base from which to explore.Clare2017-09-01T00:00:00Z
Total schönes Anwesen, tolle Terasse und volle Ausstattung! Sehr schön wer die Ruhe liebt und/oder was mit einem Baby sucht :-) sehr Gerne wiederBenjamin2017-05-04T00:00:00Z
Katja und giancarlo waren zwei großartige Hosts! Die Unterkunft war ein absoluter Traum! Es war noch schöner als ich von den Bildern her erwartet hatte! Das Häuschen ist sehr süß und wurde von giancarlo selbst mit viel liebe zum Detail restauriert. Der Garten ist ein Paradies! 'An sitzt in mitten eines Olivenhains auf dem auch Olivenöl produziert wird! Wir haben auch 3 Flaschen davon gekauft, ich bin gespannt wie die schmecken Fest steht, werden sicher wiederkommen! Es war wirklich einmalig!Charlotte2017-04-19T00:00:00Z
Awesome place. Chilled and not too far to explore Florence. Beautiful views and The hosts got us a visit to the local olive mill which was interesting. The space is comfortable and stylish.Matthew2017-09-22T00:00:00Z

This was a wonderful and cozy home right near the stadium. Both Carla and her husband were kind and hospitable hosts. They even provided me treats upon arrival. The home is very spacious and comfortable. I really enjoyed staying here and meeting Carla and her husband. I definitely recommend it!Marian2015-04-29T00:00:00Z
Vraiment Parfait et complètement conforme à notre attente. Carla et son maris sont très accueillant et attentionnés.François2016-11-01T00:00:00Z
Carla e il suo marito sono stati le persone simpatici ed ospitale. Carla ci ha datto tutte le informazione sulla cita e come muoverci. La casa e veramente grande e molto pulita. C'e tutto quello di cui hai besognio. Anche e ben collegata dai bus 17 e 11 che vi portano al centro in 10-15 minuti. il quartiere e molto silenzioso e bello, con I fiori fuori. Consiglio a qualsiasi tipo di persona e famiglia. Grazie, Carla.Arthur2015-05-20T00:00:00Z
Siamo stati a Firenze per una gara di atletica leggera e l'alloggio è stato semplicemente perfetto per le nostre esigenze, vicinissimo allo stadio e molto comodo. Carla è una persona amabile e cordiale, si è messa veramente a disposizione. Grazie di tutto !Marco2017-06-11T00:00:00Z
Carla's house was better than what we expected. It was very clean and very comfortable. As our host is living on the second floor we had no problems at our arrival. Me and my wife are recommending this nice house to everybody. The only negative thing is that you have to go with a bus to the historical center, which takes around 20min.Gökhan2016-05-24T00:00:00Z
La casa é molto confortevole, un giardino relax. In quartiere molto tranquilla. Sig.ra Carla é stata gentilissima, suoi biscotti erano buonissimi.mina2015-09-23T00:00:00Z
this house is totally like these photos. Carla is really friendly and she would like to help you solve the questions. i will choose this house next time. Thank you Carla!Ke2015-09-12T00:00:00Z
Фантастическое место, мое любимое для проживания во Флоренции. Удалено от центра на почтительное расстояние, но зато станция довольно близко и нет проблем утром куда-либо уехать, а вечером вернуться. Рекомендую для проживания от двух дней до нескольких недель. На кухне просто сказочно удобно готовить. Есть все.Dmitrii2017-01-08T00:00:00Z

Great and lovely little loft accompanied by the most beautiful view in Firenze! Everything was clean and in order so you will have a good and comfortable stay. Alessandro was a great host and gave us excellent instructions to get to his place from the train station. We arrived on easter sunday when all shops in the area were closed and we had no options of getting any food but he offered us a lift into town so we were able to get something to eat! His place in Settignano is located far away from the centre but comes with the most beautiful view and was absolutely worth it. Do sit by the patio and enjoy a good breakfast if you get the chance! *be careful not to miss the last bus like us and had to pay 25euros to get a taxi back :pShanise2017-04-19T00:00:00Z
L'appartement est lumineux, et confortable avec la climatisation. L'arrêt de bus est vraiment très proche, ce qui permet de se rendre dans le centre historique, et d'avoir la tranquillité pour se reposer.Christine 2017-05-26T00:00:00Z
Unser Urlaub bei Alessandro war sehr schön. Er war ein sehr herzlicher und bemühter Gastgeber. Auch wenn seine Englischkenntnisse eher gering waren, konnten wir uns dank Online-Übersetzer gut verständigen :) Die Wohnung ist klein, aber sehr gemütlich und perfekt für zwei Personen geeignet. Wir haben die ruhige Lage außerhalb von Florenz und den Blick von der Terrasse auf die toskanische Landschaft sehr genossen!Bianca2017-09-09T00:00:00Z
La Veranda di Alessandro e Nicoletta è una dimora ottima per "farti sentire a casa". L'accoglienza è splendida, fin dal primo momento; l'appartamento, piccolo ma completo di ogni comfort; il panorama sulle colline toscane, mozzafiato. Ma soprattutto quello che colpisce di più è la bontà d'animo e la generosità di Alessandro e di sua moglie. Ti senti davvero a casa ...Annamaria2017-06-09T00:00:00Z
L'appartement est cosy, très propre, bien équipé, lumineux. Il est idéal pour un séjour en amoureux, après une journée de marche à Florence, pour ce retrouver dans un environnement calme et magnifique avec une superbe vue. Il n'y a aucun problème pour garer la voiture. L'arrêt de bus est a un pas de l'appartement et il arrive directement en plein centre ville. Concernant Nicoletta et Alessandro, ils sont très accueillant, près a nous renseigner, à échanger et à partager. Nous avons pu partager un petit déjeuner ensemble qui fut fantastique. C'est une adresse que nous conseillerons à nos amis sans hésitation. Merci à Nicoletta et Alessandro pour avoir contribué à notre magnifique séjour en terre Florentine. Amicalement Emilie et GregGregory2017-06-02T00:00:00Z
Such an amazing location. Great views and nestled amongst some fantastic restaurants. Alessandro was also such a great host. Always available to give advice and making sure we were enjoying our stay. I would highly recommend this accommodation. MattMatt2017-07-19T00:00:00Z
La casa está situada a las afueras de Florencia, con unas vistas increibles desde el jardín. Se aparca sin problemas. Todo está como nuevo, y muy limpio. Alessandro y su mujer son unos magnificos anfitriones.Cristina2017-08-30T00:00:00Z
My husband and I had a very enjoyable stay at Alessandro's home. The view from his house is amazing and we felt very comfortable in the apartment. Taking the bus was easy and made the trip to the city center very relaxing. Alessandro was the friendliest Airbnb host ever. We would definitely stay here again!Nina2017-09-28T00:00:00Z

I would totally recommend this apartment as a place to stay in Florence. Giovanni was a wonderful host. Him and his wife went over and above to ensure we had a great stay in Florence. They took the time to pass on recommendations for things to do and places to eat, provided breakfast and gave us a very informed tour of the apartment. The apartment is lovely and a great location to be able to easily get in and out of Florence. I would very happy stay here again.Christy2017-10-01T00:00:00Z

Amazing stay, great hosts full of information and happy to share it. The apartment is amazing, very clean, updated with a mix of historic art and new modern appliances.

El bus para llegar al centro queda muy cerca y alrededor tiene restaurantes y fruterías lo que la hace una buena ubicación.Katherine2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
We stayed there just for one night. Its a bit far from center but ten minutes by bus. Conmunication was a bit problem. But house was super clean, and silvana is really sweet person. If we will go to Florence , i wanna stay there again. Totally recommended.Yusuf2016-09-29T00:00:00Z
Es una casa hermosa al igual que su anfitriona y el barrio, al principio da desconfianza porque no hay gente en la calle pero es muy tranquilo y seguro, pensalo si no te gusta caminar porque está a 20 minutos a pie del centro. Mi habitación era la más pequeña apenas había lugar para 2 valijas grandes pero como sólo era para dormir no nos importó, te tienen que gustar los gatos (como a mi) porque están siempre en el comedor y cocina pero no molestan, lo único que no aguante son los mosquitos que eran muchísimos en la casa y que no había aire acondicionado, Silvina nos dio un aparato que tira aire pero no era suficiente hace mucho calor en agosto. Pero todo lo demás fue excelente volvería a quedarme con Silvina pero en las otras habitaciones que eran más bonitasPaula2017-08-22T00:00:00Z
Silvana is very polite and a good Host.Florian2017-09-03T00:00:00Z
La habitación era amplia y cómoda. Respeta bastante la privacidad. La cocina se puede usar, pero Silvana pide 3€ para usarla. También se tienen que pagar 2'5€ por persona y noche como taxa turística. Silvana fue muy amable con nosotros. Es una buena opción por su precio, está a unos 40 minutos del centro a pie. Si vais en verano, ¡cuidado con los mosquitos!Elisa2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Highly recommended for both the comfort and the hospitality.Mounia2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

Estaba todo cuidado al detalle. La casa, la habitación y la zona son preciosas!! La madre un encanto! Súper pendiente de nosotros!

Where do I start!?!? This was the AirBnB find of the Century! AMAZING LOCATION on the countryside of Florence. Easy access to downtown! Beautiful views all around...I felt like I was in a painting. So peaceful and perfect! Francesco is the BEST HOST YOU COULD ASK FOR...great communication, AMZING COOK, super friendly, very accommodating! I met a lot of his friends and they are just as great! They took me out on the town and we stayed in and had cocktails and dinner a few nights as well! I feel like that are family now! I felt like I was staying with a long time friend not a stranger from AirBnB! HIGHHHHLY RECOMMEND STAYING HERE!Jason2017-09-28T00:00:00Z
Francesco's place is ideal, if you want to stay in the country side but still can reach bigger cities within minutes. Thank you, for you warm welcome!Jenifer2016-06-24T00:00:00Z
Amazing host, Francesco treated my girlfriend and I like family. He helped us around town and really made us feel comfortable while we stayed with him. Francesco keeps his home clean and tidy, and he offers all the amenities you could want.Brandon2017-06-24T00:00:00Z
Francesco ist ein super netter Mensch und toller Gastgeber! Er hat uns sehr nett und freundlich empfangen, trotz der spätere Zeit. Die Wohnung von Frankcesco war super sauber und aufgeräumt und man hat hier alles, was man für eine Unterkunft im Privathaus benötigt. Trotz, dass wir die Wohnung gemeinsam mit Francesco benutzt haben, so hatten wir unser separates Schlafzimmer und konnen uns an den Abenden sehr gut und ungedtörrt erholen. Im Hof von Haus gab es genügend großen Parkplatz, wie auch einen wunderschönen idylischen Garten, den man nur für sich hat. Vielen lieben Dank für Deine Gastfreundschaft und für den tollen letzten Abend, mit leckerem toskanischen Essen und Wein, lieber Francesco! Wir kommen wieder gerne :-)Dessislava2017-05-26T00:00:00Z

Francesco was wonderful. He made our stay really unique! The master bedroom is big and the bed was quite comfortable. Conveniently, Florence was a 20 minute drive away and the drive down is stunning. Francesco was a great host who went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. He told us about Tuscany, Italian culture and gave lots of advice for the rest of our travels through Italy. One night he took us to the vineyard his brother works at and we had a tour as well as a wine tasting. He also made us a delicious meal one night and invited some of his friends. Overall we felt welcomed and had a very memorable trip. If you are staying in Tuscany definitely stay with Francesco for an amazing and authentic experience. You won't regret it!Tanha2016-05-27T00:00:00Z

Designed by crossing the Chow and Siberian Husky, Chusky is a cute-looking, fluffy dog, characterized by a well-proportioned, lean stature, erect, pointed ears, similar to its parents, the Chow-chow like almond-shaped eyes, and a black nose. It also has long and strong legs, along with a feathered tail which points up and curls up to its back. The Chuskies are gradually gaining popularity owing to their cuddly appearance and gentle disposition.

|Competitive Registration/ Qualification Information
Though not much is known about the history of origination of this breed, it may have been designed with the intention of creating dogs having an attractive appearance and working skills of their parents.
The Siberian Husky Chow Chow mix has a loving, affectionate nature, sharing a deep bond of love and affection with the members of its family, also remaining calm till the time they get everyone's attention.
This strong attachment towards its near and dear ones makes it prone to suffer from pangs of separation anxiety when kept away from them for a prolonged period.
Being a perfect entertainer, these dogs are a fun to have around as they would entertain you to the core with their amusing nature and antics.
Though they are no avid barkers, the Chow Siberian Husky mix are extremely protective about their family, a trait inherited from their Chow Chow parent, raising an alert the moment they sense an intruder or anything unfamiliar approaching close to their household.
Just as their parents, the Chusky also gets along well with children, being their perfect playmate, but an adult supervision is necessary especially for the younger kids to prevent any unpleasant situation.
They generally do not share a very good rapport with other dogs which can however be corrected with proper socialization.
Brushing their teeth twice or thrice a week, as well as wiping their eyes and ears on a weekly basis are other hygiene measures that can be taken to ward off infections.
As these dogs are always eager to please their owners, they are mostly obedient, thus making the training process easier. However, the master should be firm and tactful enough to make the training sessions a positive and fruitful experience.
Apart from giving them two and a half to three cups of dry dog food, Chuskies can also be given a fish diet to help retain the oil in their skin. A special liquid diet is needed for those without a middle teeth.
I am looking for a Chusky puppy in the Phoenix area. Can anyone let me know if they know if there is a breeder locally? Or is someone has a new litter of Chusky puppies and is looking to sell any of them.
I am looking for a male puppy 4-8 weeks old.
I can't find a Chusky breeder anywhere! Can anyone help?
I rescued a Chusky. The most beautiful little dog and funny,at 2.5 months. She was abandoned by previous owner . I own a German Shepherd and Jack Russell mix and trained both myself for the AKC Canine Good Citizen exam and both passed their first try. With that said,this breed IS NOT FOR FIRST TIME OR INEXPERIENCED dog owners!!! My vet had her tested for various canine diseases and asked to test for breed and this is how we found out she was 50/50 Chow Chow,Siberian Husky. We saw the husky is what she looks like but the fur and color not so much, cream with a reddish blonde color down center back an tips of ears and amber eyes,she was white when we first rescued her. This is a smart dog but not dog friendly or other animals period. She is tolerate with GSD cause he is much bigger but very dominate with female Jack Russell . Good with kids,loves them people to as well as strangers but will need to be on leash because pretty sure she'd run chasing something and just keep going. Difficult to housebreak but is now with a lot of frustration, severe separation anxiety ,really bad,tore up 2 metal crates. They are the softest furriest funny dogs but stout and strong about 50 lbs females l,males larger they are medium size but again strong. This is not a cute lap dog and not a dog that is left alone a good deal. Save yourself heartbreak if you're not very experienced with dogs and if you can't afford doggy daycare while working I would not get one otherwise one of the prettiest,softest funniest loving dogs that does like to chew and owners stuff,big stuff I never had dogs chew so much and she can climb counters and no amount of bad dog or time outs do when she nuts up and decides she wants to. This dog has chewed up more stuff in her 4.5 mos with us than the other 2 that are 5 and 7 yrs old,combined! She has elk horns ,kong balls,toys but she'll get something she shouldn't if she's upset especially if left by owner. They are grazers when eating much like Huskies but if other dogs around will gobble food up and looking for more 30 minutes later. Don't let the cuteness lure you into a bad situation if not much experience owning and caring for dogs otherwise they are unique,smart great with kids,adults and clean dogs not smelly and once house broke picky where they potty outside prefer in woods ,leafy areas ours gives a whole new meaning about poop rolling down hill. Good Luck!
Myself, is looking for a buddy to keep myself accompanied. I never owned a dog. But I'm looking forward to getting one soon.
Hello my name is Paul Grondin and I am interested in a female chusky puppy. I had a husky for 14 years her name is Bella and she was my best friend and she past away from a heart attack in my arms. I miss her and I would like a new best friend. please let me know.
Well you can go to your local shelters, your bound to give an old, young dog another chance at life.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Calgary, AB (Canada)) in June 2010.
Informal set of interviews and presentations. Staff were casual and friendly. I was contacted initially via email to attend a presentation. The presentation introduced the power house that is Apple. I was then contacted by HR and given an interview. The general HR questions were asked. What do yo you do in a set of predetermined situations. I then had an interview with the store manager. She wanted to know why I wanted to work at Apple? Where I wanted to be in a few years? How well I thought that I would fit in?

You've been dating for while. You really like her. You like her family. But how do you feel about her dog?
A new study has found that women tend to be happier in a relationship when their partners like their pets as much as they do.
According to LiveScience.com, researchers at the University of Houston surveyed 120 co-habitating heterosexual couples – the majority of whom were dog owners – about how they felt about their pets and about their relationships.
Women said they were more satisfied with their relationship when their partners expressed a similar level of closeness to their pets. Men's relationship satisfaction, on the other hand, was less likely to be affected by how their partners felt as pet owners, but the male participants tended to be happier when they, themselves, felt particularly close to their own furry pals.
This difference may be because "females are much more in-tune with the harmony of the household," researcher Kristen Capuozzo told LiveScience.com. "Is everybody getting along? Is there any kind of disagreement, any discord? If I'm superattached to my pet and my husband isn't, then that might cause some disharmony: 'Why is that pet in my bed? Why are you spending so much money on that pet?' "
Curiously, however, women were less satisfied when their partners were closer to their pets than they were. "She kind of gets jealous," Ms. Capuozzo said.
Considering that most pet owners think of their animals as members of their family (among Canadians, 90 per cent of owners reportedly feel that way), men would be wise to make nice with their dates' four-legged friends.
Could you date someone who didn't share your love for your pet?

Since the outbreak of war in Syria, the entire Lebanese border has become a red zone: travellers from the West are advised by their governments to give it a wide berth. Yet once in the field, only the odd military checkpoint serves to remind travellers that tensions in the area remain high. In the Bekaa Valley, Hezbollah – the Party of God – holds sway. Wielding considerable political, military and social clout, this powerful Shia Islamist organisation is government, parliament and welfare state rolled into one. By Eric Lafforgue

Beauty, movement and joy are the inherent traits of this wonderful portrayal of Allegra.
Distinguished sculptor Ev Maynell has created a very fine piece, with a slender girl embracing her youth, probably in the early morning sunshine..
Barefooted she balances on one leg while playing what must be a light hearted tune on her flute that no doubt reflects her vivaciousness.
Movement is so hard to convey in an inanimate sculpture but here the carefree nature of the subject is convincingly nimble.
Allegra is guaranteed to bring a real sparkle into the life of your garden, a blithe spirit if there was ever one.
Allegra Dimensions:
- Height: 140cm (55ins)

Big Business Misses the Big Picture
The main message from the New Zealand Herald's special report for business is that big business is missing the big picture, Council of Trade Unions president Ross Wilson said today.
The paper's "Mood of the Boardroom" supplement, which reports on the results of a survey of a group of employers, was published today.
"Some of those surveyed have missed the big picture which is that key economic issues are about infrastructure, investment in skill and improving productivity," Ross Wilson said.
"The deficits in these areas accumulated in the 1990s, along with a massive social deficit, from an economic direction that promised the benefits of growth would be shared but did not deliver.
"It is one-eyed of big businesses to applaud everything the Government does for them and attack everything the Government does for low-income workers, such as better workplace health and safety and improved holidays."
Don Brash is supporting the employers, and
workers knew that if he ever got the chance, he would finish
off what Roger Douglas, Ruth Richardson and Bill Birch
started, Ross Wilson said.
"I am amazed that Don Brash uses a comparison with Australia to bolster his case for deregulation and tax cuts – Australia has more market regulation and higher taxes."
The top tax rate in Australia is 48.5 per cent compared with 39 per cent here. The company tax rate is 30 per cent in Australia but they also have a payroll tax of 6 per cent.
Australian workers have a minimum wage of $11.80 ($NZ13.49), their average wage is 26 per cent higher than here, over 80 per cent of Australian workers are protected by multi-employer agreements, they have had four weeks annual leave for 30 years, and their growth and productivity usually outperforms New Zealand.
"In Australia there is evidence of a higher level of investment," Ross Wilson said. "Even the International Monetary Fund has noted that New Zealand had low growth in physical capital per worker in the early and middle 1990s and that appears to be a very significant part of the explanation for low productivity.
"We know also that NZ listed firms pay out over 70 per cent of profits as dividends. In other words, a major contribution would be made to productivity if New Zealand firms invested more of their profits in sustainable economic growth rather than pay out so much out to shareholders wanting a quick return.
Employers surveyed in the Herald also attacked the Employment Relations Law Reform Bill as being bad for business.
"The changes to employment law are modest improvements to a moderate law," Ross Wilson said. "The New Zealand Herald is owned by big business and is colluding with its business mates to try to spook the Government into a back down on employment law."

Adam Sandler is one of the last true movie stars. Tellingly, he's essentially the only über-successful actor in contemporary Hollywood to never take a role in a film franchise — because, just like the Hollywood stars of yore, he is the franchise. He produces almost all his movies, and has a regular caravan of co-creators (like director Dennis Dugan) and co-stars (like Rob Schneider, who's been in 12 Sandler movies playing 12 different offensive stereotypes) who follow him from project to project. To celebrate today's release of Just Go With It, the 22nd film Sandler's headlined since 1995, we went back to where it all began: Billy Madison, the story of a man-boy who decided to go back to school, back to school, to prove to his dad that he's not a fool.
Darren Franich: When I was a kid, I knew every line of dialogue from Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. I could do near-perfect imitations of Adam Sandler's various voices. His Opera Man-esque caveman-baby talk: "So sorry to interrupt! Pro-ceeeed… " His petulant growl: "You know something? YOU SUCK!" His sing-song warbling: "Ohh, Veronica Vaughn. Sooo hot, sooo hot, want to touch the heiny!" In junior high, my group of friends could have whole conversations composed purely of Adam Sandler dialogue. So I really, really, really wanted to enjoy watching Billy Madison this week. And I was really sad that, in the end, I could count the number of times I laughed on one hand, and three of those laughs were because of Steve Buscemi.
Keith Staskiewicz: The good comparison point here is Pee-wee Herman, who also had his own variety of tones — from the sing-song-y to the adenoidal growl — and was also essentially an overgrown kid. But where Pee-wee was charming and loveable, Billy's a lot more abrasive. Between this and Ace Ventura, it really paints an interesting picture of what comedy was like in the mid-'90s: Grown men talking either out of their butts or like a 10-month-old who woke up that morning to find he's now 30.
KS: To Billy Madison's credit, it's a much more surreal comedy than Ace Ventura. The filmmakers are aware that their protagonist appears to have suffered some form of major head trauma. Which is why my favorite line in the entire movie — and one that's quotable in so many situations — is the principal's brutal smack-down of Sandler's rambling puppy/industrial revolution story. By the way, the principal is played by Robert Downey Jr.'s uncle and long-time SNL writer Jim Downey.
DF: Sandler co-wrote Billy Madison, and the movie contains prototypes for Sandlerian tropes that have been replayed in nearly all his movies. There's the Ridonk Hot Love Interest (typically played by a blonde) who hates Sandler for his abject stupidity until she finds said stupidity incredibly attractive. There's the Scenery-Chewing Douchebag Villain (typically played by an incredibly talented actor), in this case Bradley Whitford, playing an earlier version of Christopher McDonald in Happy Gilmore, Peter Gallagher in Mr. Deeds, and even Jack Nicholson in Anger Management.
DF: Best of all, there's the final scene of every movie, in which ever-expanding crowds of people cheer on Adam Sandler for ever-more-outlandish feats of idiocy. (This motif reached its natural apotheosis in Anger Management, when the entire city of New York and Rudy Freaking Giuliani cheered on Sandler's character for learning to be angry.) It's the central paradox of Sandler's onscreen persona: He's playing a proudly unlikable human being, but by the end of movie, every single person onscreen loves him. He's like a redemptive jerk messiah.
KS: Maybe he's hoping that applause in the movie will trick people in the audience into also applauding. Hey, it's worked on me a couple of times where I just sit there clapping like a hurr-durr idiot because fictional people are doing it. It's a weirdly Pavlovian response, and, also, I'm pretty dumb. Speaking of which, many of the elements of Sandler's characters, from their not-quite-intelligence to their mild-to-moderate insanity, were properly harnessed in what is pretty much his best performance ever, in Punch Drunk Love. The character he plays in that movie, with his violent outbursts and antisocial behavior, is essentially a more dramatic interpretation of Billy Madison.
DF: Sandler does occasionally try to stretch a bit. After all, he starred in a James L. Brooks movie, a 9/11 movie, and a vaguely-autobiographical serious-ish movie. Unfortunately, those movies were Spanglish, Reign Over Me, and Funny People, but points for trying. And I legitimately think Click is an interesting movie — the second half isn't even a comedy, really, just a ruinously depressing portrait of a life wasted.
KS: I actually like Spanglish and Funny People, but I know what you mean. It's difficult to imagine how any woman would fall for a man(?) who was forced to retake third-grade and who relates more to those third-graders than anyone nearer his own age. (Even when he goes to high school, he gets along better with the 7-year-olds than any of his peers.) That's why I suspect Veronica was actually just messing with him: She'll marry Billy once he's given control of the company and then divorce him a week later, taking half of his fortune with her when she goes. Brilliant!
DF: But then, at the end of the movie, Billy decides not to take over Madison Hotels. All her brilliant plans, foiled! Also, nothing in the movie actually mattered, because Billy won't take over the company and he's still a doof. Hooray for the status quo!
DF: Speaking of the supporting cast, I think we should add Bradley Whitford's Eric to the ever-expanding list of "Movie Villains Who Are Actually Heroes." Put yourself in his shoes. You've worked hard your whole life. You've become a high-ranking executive in a Fortune 500 Company. And then your boss, apparently in a fit of dementia, decides to hand off the company he has spent a lifetime building to his illiterate 28-year-old son, who has spent his entire lifetime drinking himself stupid and lighting feces on fire. To add insult to injury, your boss makes his son "prove himself" by attending two weeks of grades 1-12 — because clearly, everything you need to learn in every year of school can be learned in a fortnight. Poor Eric! No wonder he's driven to madness.
KS: Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore is the same way: Both have entirely reasonable objections to what Sandler's characters are doing, but because they are such clearly terrible people, you ignore that.
KS: I think The Waterboy is really the epitome of the Sandler schtick: I guess he's not technically challenged in the same way, but, really, the character is essentially Cuba Gooding Jr. in Radio. Wikipedia's plot summary of the movie describes him as "a socially inept (but also intelligent), stuttering water boy with hidden anger issues." If you take out "stuttering water boy," it's basically an Adam Sandler character generator. Just input in "spoiled hotel heir," "hockey player-turned-golfer," "wedding singer," or "Devil's spawn."
DF: Billy Madison was not a box office success when it hit theaters — it grossed about $25 million on a $20 million budget. Actually, Sandler had a pretty slow rise to really being a serious box office success — it wasn't until The Waterboy, four years later, that he really became a star. It's weird to think that the machinery that made him a star barely even exists in Hollywood anymore. For one thing, the studios don't really make cheap comedies anymore. Also, they seem far less patient with comedy stars, and comedy stars seem more interested in pursuing non-movie careers: Jimmy Fallon and Andy Samberg weren't offered much after Taxi and Hot Rod, but they've done pretty well on TV and via viral videos.
KS: Will Ferrell only made it because his first few films were really successful and of (relatively) high quality: Old School, Elf, Anchorman. On a different note, I just realized something. Look at this list of Adam Sandler comedy titles: Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Big Daddy, Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds. Seven titular roles in seven years. Can anyone possibly beat that?
DF: How did he get to Just Go With It? I haven't seen the movie, but that title might be the worst title in the history of terrible titles. It simultaneously means nothing and everything. It is matter and anti-matter. It actually disappears as you read it.
KS: There are a lot of bad titles like that, though. In fact, I bet we could make a whole paragraph using only vague movie titles.
DF: Let's do it!
[Hours pass]
DF & KS: How do you know something's gotta give? It's complicated: Life as we know it (life or something like it) is definitely, maybe as good as it gets. Just go with it! Cowboys & aliens.
NEXT WEEK: PopWatch Rewind will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Christopher Nolan's Memento by watching Memento, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, so we'll be watching it. The movie is called Memento. Oh sorry, did we repeat ourselves? We have this condition.

One coming of age moment for every child is the day they stand up to a parent and shed their authority. I'm not talking about the toddler and preschooler who throws a tantrum when he doesn't get his way. I'm talking about the teen years when a child suddenly realizes that his parents are not infallible. They do make mistakes and he is capable of thinking independently. For some, this is a traumatic experience. I remember being fearful of what my father would think of me if I were to challenge his authority. I was always a very agreeable child and not one to make waves. So standing up to my parents was like committing treason.
What's your story? How did you feel when you realized you and your parents didn't see eye to eye on something important to you? How did they react? How did it affect your relationship going forward? Share your ideas and I'll try to work them into What Mystery Sounds the Echo. You'll get credit if I mention your ideas of course.

They just don't get it. Last night I was upstairs putting some laundry away and David walked in with anxiety and frustration on his face. He came from downstairs where he was supposed to be watching the triplets. My mom and Heidi were cleaning up from dinner, cutting up fruit and preparing food and David was to hang with the trips. "David what is wrong with you?" I ask him. He says" They are going to bed, they are not listening". Hah can you make me laugh any harder? I started laughing and said, "David, they are 18 months old and they are little crazy boys". He replies in a half laughing and half serious voice "I know but they are still going to bed".
Later on I got the real story. David got home late from work and after he ate his dinner I guess he thought he could take some time to catch a glimpse of his favorite magazine that arrived in the mail (AutoWeek). This magazine comes every week and when it comes I usually hide it until I have said everything I need to say because once he starts reading it...a bomb can go off and he is clueless. He went into the family room with the triplets and the magazine thinking he was going to sit down, relax and read his magazine (I mean that makes sense right..that is what I do all day, relax and read). Immediately Colin started crawling up on his lap...then Declan followed. Declan started picking at David's face and poking his finger in every hole he could on his face..nose, ears, mouth etc. He then went after David's glasses. (I am really laughing now as David is telling me the story at 11pm at the kitchen table over some saltine crackers and peanut butter..his favorite snack) David handles most abuse until they go for his glasses. Well by this time Fintan was on his way on his lap too. The magazine got torn out of David's hand and while one of the trips was slowly tearing pages out of his precious magazine another one was getting ready to launch himself from the arm of the chair onto the side table in hopes of taking down the lamp. The glasses are in one hand and the free hand has to decide weather to save the magazine or save the child from breaking the lamp. Did I mention the 3rd triplet was on the coffee table and laughing. David was saying, "No", "Get Down", and many other things and noone was listening. Hummmm noone was listening huh..Sounds like my life as a mother when noone is listening. No sympathy here but it was a good laugh. I noticed the ripped up magazine this morning on the floor next to the chair. I think the triplets won that one.

So funny! I will definitely share this with my husband so he doesn't feel like he is the only dad whose kids "just won't listen".
Thanks for the nice comments on my blog. It is always nice when someone thinks your life/kids look nice when it feels so chaotic. I don't know how you manage with all 6. I feel like I am pulling my hair out with 4.
