Bravamama Beginnings

My name is Linda and this is my first post! I wanted to create a blog about the things I have learned growing up in an Italian family in Canada. I am a second generation Canadian, meaning my parents immigrated from Italy to Canada. I am the first generation to speak English, go to school in Canada and live in a culture rich with British history and traditions. Growing up, these two cultures often clashed, providing me with hilarious memories of my desperate attempts to live in both worlds. Over the years I have lost my Italian roots. I have moved to the US and barely find occasion to talk the little Italian that I know, and as I watch my children grow I have come to realize that they don't even know my heritage. I now realize how terrible it would be to not share the memories, the recipes and the way of life I once knew. I am creating this blog for them and for anyone who wants to add a little Italian in their lives.
