Two divorced fathers and long-term friends decide to move in together to help each other take care of their small children. Between household tasks, school reunions, friends, dates and their jobs, they live in a happy and funny chaos. Although some of their actions might seem a bit exaggerated, their struggle to find love again and fit a new partner into their lives is painted very realistically, with tenderness and humor.

Reading "My Friends, My Loves" by Marc Levy and preparing special little gifts (called Martisor) we offer between the 1st and the 8th of March to our friends ??

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick That sounds like a great celebration of friendship. Is it celebrated by a particular country or is it more of a community? 4y
IuliaC @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Martisor (little March) is a very old spring celebration in the Balkans, notably in Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria; it's the name of the white and red string which is attached to all tiny gifts we exchange, as it symbolizes death and rebirth of nature and life, the transition from winter to spring. It is believed that the person who wears the white&red string in March remains strong and healthy all year long 😊 4y
IuliaC @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick The little gifts attached to the string are usually spring and luck symbols (ladybug, clover snowdrop etc.) and the string is worn pinned on clothes or around the armwrist before the spring equinox in the Northern hemisphere; it's red&white (and not only red) as everything needs to be balanced, light&dark, life&death, somehow like yin and yang... 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Lovely! Thank you for sharing that custom with me. 4y
