Mamma Fairy

So who is the Dada Fairy, the man who much prefers to stay in the background? Everybody knows I like to write, to blog, to ramble, to talk…..but what does the Dada Fairy do with his spare time??

Well, to put it mildly he is car mad! Whether that’s racing, cleaning, looking at them, he doesn’t discriminate he loves it all equally!  Myself on the other hand can just about drive a car! However years of living with a car fanatic have taught me a few things. Roll back 10 years and I wouldn’t have had a clue what a slipstream was. Now I can talk somewhat confidentially about slipstreaming or in layman’s terms when a vehicle takes advantage of the space behind another vehicle where there are decreased air and wind resistance.

While I am nor will I ever be any kind of expert on motor sports. My knowledge does extend to having a vague knowledge of preparing for racing or track days to those more in the know. To be honest some of the tips here can be extended to everyday driving life, whether that’s proper servicing, safety features in the car such as fire extinguishers and first aid kits and critically proper tyres. The emphasis of this  cannot be stressed enough.

While I may not be into racing in the way that the Dada Fairy is id love so much to be driven in a racing car or maybe something a little gentler on the nerves like a driving experience in an Aston Martin or Ferrari. Now that is the kind of motor sport I can really get behind!!

I think its funny how in relationship while we are very much independent we do tend to gravitate to having a tangential interest in what the other person is doing. While he wouldn’t be into blogging he will happily chat to me about it even suggesting topics or new things to try on the blog. I suppose that’s how relationships work, its the give and take, the compromise and taking an interest in what the other is doing.

Anybody else with a car fanatic other half?? Do tell me more……..

Immigration is easy if you are affluent because many countries actually let you buy a passport. Italy offers the investor visa option that enables you to qualify for the residence status and eventually become a citizen. Although the road may sound long and daunting, it is the only option you have when you cannot get in through routes like marriage and descent. The effort is worthwhile for wealthy moms looking to bequeath Italian citizenship to their kids in the long run. You can click on this Mbersanilaw.com for more details on this immigration option. Here is some more valuable advice for wealthy moms looking for an Italian investor visa.

Evaluate your investment alternatives

Although money is seldom a concern for well-to-do mommies, you must spend it wisely. Immigration with an investor visa entails a hefty investment, so you should know what you need to bring. The good thing is that you have multiple alternatives to explore. These include-

• An innovative startup in Italy- €250,000
• An established company- €500,000
• A public welfare project- €1 million
• Government bonds- €2 million

Be ready with proof of funds

You need not bring the money to Italy at the beginning of the investor visa process. Proof of funds suffices until you complete the nulla osta (certificate of no impediment) and consulate applications. Essentially, it is a bank statement showing you have sufficient funds to provide the committed investment. The statement is enough to get you through from start to end.

Get investor visa for loved ones without extra funding

As a mommy, you will probably want to move in with your loved ones, even if it costs a fortune. But you need not bring additional investment for your family members. Showing that you can support them financially during your stay in the country is enough to get them in with the residence status. No extra funding means you need not stress about the massive money requirements for family immigration.

Bring the funds along while landing in Italy

Perhaps, the most critical piece of advice for wealthy moms getting an Italian investor visa is to have the funds at hand while landing in Italy. You will have to deposit them within three months of obtaining the residence permit, which happens right after you enter the country. Not having funds to deposit puts your residence permit at risk, and all the hard work may go waste. 

Prepare to invest for the long haul

Finally, you must prepare to invest the money for the long haul if you plan to stay in Italy for good. The residence permit converts to permanent residence after five years, and you become eligible for citizenship by naturalization after another five years. The only condition is to hold the original funds throughout the decade. It is a small price for the world’s most powerful passport. 

The final piece of advice for obtaining an investor visa is to never go for it alone. Having an expert showing the way gives you an advantage, so you must bring them on board sooner than later.

I have two wonderful, happy and healthy little men, however their entry into this world was anything but straightforward. I love to write which is why I started blogging.

However I can’t seem to bring myself to write my own boys birth stories, its still all too fresh in my head.  I often wonder why, envying women who seem to be able to take it all in their stride.  Was it something I did? Is there something wrong with me? Or was in medical negligence? Maybe ill never know.

I decided to speak to some fellow bloggers to share their birth stories.

Each one different yet each one equally magical.  Bringing a new life into the world is an experience ill probably never be able to convey properly into words.

Birth experiences

• First up is Lisa who shares here own experience on her blog Irish Baby Fairy. Lisa is a mid-wife herself so I was very interested to read her story.  Uniquely she is able to give us perspectives from the both sides in the labor ward. A story well worth a read.
• Next is Hayley who blogs at I am River. I just love that name, if and thats a big if, I ever have more kids I may need to steal this name.  The positivity in this post really resonates with me.
• Lyndsay- Rose writes at My Family of Roses and talks about not having a birth plan on her second. Her first was premature but second time round it was a very different experience. Showing us how different birth experiences can be.
• I just love the pure honesty in Georgina who writes at Gee Garnder post.  After a very difficult pregnancy her beautiful baby was born full term, healthy and happy with no complications.
• Nicola who blogs at Mummy to Dex shares her own experience of the birth of Dexter.  This post is really detailed and gives a great insight into Dexters birth. Again a very informative post well worth a read.

I really do enjoy reading other peoples birth stories, its gives me hope that maybe just maybe if I rolled the dice one more time I may have a calmer, more straightforward birth. We will see!
