What IT'S all about

Today was a special day. We were touched by something and it stayed with us all day. We just couldn't shake it.

As a family of 5 we raise our kids, stress over the future, work on our marriage, say lots of prayers, and spend time trying to make magic happen with our business.

We are the couple that others look at and wonder…what are they all about? Well, we are both children of Italian immigrants who continue to marvel at what an amazing country we live in.

Our little family is our whole life. We have seen those we love pass away suddenly and it rock us to our core. We love the magic of the holidays, and wonder at our three boys while at the same time shaking our heads at the new world they are growing up in.

Through it all we believe in magic. That adults are better people if that creative piece of their childhood isn't stripped away, but instead nurtured and allowed to hang around as the nucleus for who we should be.

Our love of travel comes from a curiousity we both harbour and have refused to let go of. Growing up has not meant a stiffer upper lip, or leaving dolls, animated movies and our favourite collectibles behind. They continue to remind us of who we started as, and where that little person wanted to be at our age.

Marco loves the fun of discovering new things while visiting favourite places over and over. To feel like he has multiple “homes” around the world where he can become part of that community. You can bet if he has visited once and liked it, he will visit again.

I love discovering new things, especially in places where art and history have shaped how we see the world. I want to walk where the Romans have, and not for a day, but for a month. I love a Disney vacation but not to complete the checklist of all that is new, but to breathe in that energy of constant change, creative history, and fun!

This quote reminded us of all of that today. It lifted us up. Snapped the proverbial fingers in front of our faces.

This is why we do what we do.

Love what we do.

Live what we do.

We hope that it stirs a memory of your younger and more adventurous selves too. What are we all waiting for? If it isn't on the list below, it's time to reevaluate, “wake up, and live”. We NEED magic!
