a few of my favorite

Probably these are my 5 favorite spots in the city.

Depending on the weather, I can visit them more or less, but they stay my favorite spots all year round.

- downtown madison. many restaurants, shops, coffee places and people from all over the world to look at. Downtown Madison is really a little gem.

- the olbrich gardens. just an amazing botanical garden. free and beautiful right across from Monona lake.

- The Capitol building. A beautiful piece of architecture we have in the heart of the city. Inside and outside just an awesome building.

- The Children's museum. A wonderful and always fun museum for the kiddos that operates in a beautiful building right downtown.

- Maple Bluff park. A tiny park inside one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city. An awesome view of downtown, a playground and a little beach make this place magical.

I'll keep sharing.

Have an awesome rest of the week. Healthy and peaceful.

Kindergarten

It seems we have finally found a school we really like for D. to start elementary school next fall. I know, it seems so early to start the process, but in order to pick the school we really wanted we needed to start this early. What a relief. What a big relief. We toured at least 10 schools in the last 2 months. In our district, out of our district, public schools and private schools, charter schools and whatever's left in the middle, and somehow there was always something that didn't click to me when touring all those schools. All of them -btw- with very high scores and super nice reviews, but still, there was something that didn't convince me. It happened the same to me when I was looking for preschools for D. two years ago. I visited many, until I went to one that felt right to me instantly, it felt right in my heart. And that was how I felt yesterday morning when we visited the very last school in our list to tour, it felt right. I liked the school, thank God, I liked

Copenhagen

I've had this city in my mind for a while. Never been there, but every time I research about trips to Europe I bump into a Copenhagen article, link, photo and I get more and more interested and excited about this city. In pictures it just looks like the kind of city I like. Here my inspiration for today Friday, a few photos of gorgeous Copenhagen. All photos by: littlescandinavian.com (one of my favorite blogs). Happy weekend. Healthy and peaceful.
