ANDREA - INSPIRING STORIES VOL.10

·

After a long break in our blog stories I would like to introduce you to Andrea. She lives with her family in a small village in northern Spain. Let's find out more about her life!

Where do you live?

My name is Andrea and I live in Galicia,  in a small village at the north of Spain.

How old are your children?

Teo is my big boy, and he is 7 years old, Olivia is 5 and Mauro is our baby and he is 2 yearls old.

Do you work? 

Yes, I have the enviromental sciences degree and work for the government, in the landscape area.

How do you relax?

I love going to the beach with my family, to my parent' s house on the coast, it is our paradise. 

Do you have any tips on coping with being tired?

We live in the countryside, so when I have a moment just for me I love to have a walk listening some good music, this charges my energies.

What is the last book/magazine you read?

Good morning Magazine and Telva for kids.

Where do you shop clothes for you and your child?

I love the natural clothes and I use to shop spanish brands...I am a superfan of Tinycottons, a Spanish brand designed in Barcelona and in their closet you can also find Trixikids, Buho Barcelona, Zara or Petitohbarcelona. And of course the kinittined clothes handmade by their grandmums.. our favourites!

Your latest favourite band/musician?

Belle and Sebastian, The jayhauwks, Eels, Lori meyers, Neil Young, la Habitación Roja...

What is your secret to a good photo of your children?

I take the best photos when they are enjoying and playing, talking to each other without seeing the camera. But the light and a calm space are the perfect atmosphere for this.

Why do you like S&B KIDS?

The simplicity of the designs, and the natural wooden toys that can pass from one child to another, my parents used to buy us this kind of toys and now my kids can play with them...

What is your favourite toy/item from our collection?

Ohhh I love all of them, but the pull along drummer dog has my heart.
Thank you so much Andrea!  to follow Andrea's Instgram - @teoyolivia
