I'd like to nominate Falando pelos Cotovelos - Talking nineteen to the dozen.

It's about a trying-to-be-normal mum of two and an information security girl, who lives with her crazy-geek husband, who loves his gadgets and loves to talk about quantum mechanics, physiology, computer, quarks, life, universe and everything.

And they have two boys:

André, 5 years old one, hyperactive and try to crack their computer passwords quite often. Filipe, 2 months old, can’t take his eyes off mummy's breast.
