summer+friends+life

I say this a lot, but I will say it again. -Nature keeps its promise- always, and on every single change of season I am thankful for that. And summer is for sure one of nature's most wonderful promises. After our last winter here in Madison, I feel like I need to soak up all the sunlight available and if possible store some in little containers under my bed. It was brutal, but then again, summer is here. We are trying to be out A LOT, a lot.

My friend, my very good friend I should say, came two weeks ago from far away to be with us a few days and to be my son's Godmother. It was such a short visit but a great one. D fell in love with her (they had never met before) and for 5 days we had a lot of fun, she made us very happy. Amazing photos from that day (Baptism day) are coming up, soon.

Life is busy right now. Lots of work in the office and juggling between all that work and my priorities, which always are at home. No time to exercise, no time to read more, cook more or work on my blog, -which I love-, but it's all good. Feeling busy. Feeling blessed.

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.
