Life and Adventures of an Italian Family

Arianna Giorgia Bonazzi is an Italian writer. She lives in Milan with her husband, Arnaldo. They have two kids. Arianna keeps a hilarious family diary on Timbuktu.

If you *ever*:

- competed to hire the right au-pair girl against other families across the globe;

- felt intimidated by a mom wearing multilayered H&M striped t-shirts and big sunglasses at a playground-date;

- sent your husband to pick someone up at the airport at an arbitrary time, “accidentally overlapping his favorite team’s soccer match;”

- organized (or dreamt of organizing) a smart escape with your partner, leaving your kids with your parents for a week;

you shouldn’t miss Arianna’s diary, today on Timbuktu.
