I enjoy so very much writing in my often Italianized English, a language I love but, as much as I keep trying to better myself, not my native one! It is lovely to rewind back to the carefree times I was so blessed to enjoy as a young girl in Italy and the eventful years of my own kids’s childhood. If nothing else, these recollections will eventually remind or actually narrate to my own kids episodes of when they were too young to remember them.

As I have said from the beginning, and the main reason I started every morsel matters, many of these long ago episodes are what inspires my children’s books stories. I truly like loosing myself in memory lane (amongst other things it brings me back with people I have loved and are not with us anymore, like one of my sisters); but I have recently come to the conclusion that I am probably indulging myself a bit too much? The thing is that I am a “One Woman Band“, which means that if I write, unless it is for a new story, I don’t draw and paint.

I don’t mean in any way to leave every morsel matters behind! What is probably going to happen is that, amongst more recollections, reflections, fun fact and recipes from my Tuscany, there will be up dates about drawings or a new story. In fact they obviously are indispensable morsels of the whole book as is the inspiration for its story. BE AWARE: when a doubt stalls me I might very well ask for your opinion about which way you prefer for a character to be drawn and such, so, please, bear with me?!
