things I like

some of our favorite pictures and moments in 2015. The year is practically gone and we bless every moment we lived, every new exciting experience we had and every challenge as well. Always, at this point of the year only hours away to set a foot in the next year, I get really excited and melancholic, so happy for a new year and a little blue for the year we leave behind. I pray for lots of good health, peace and love in 2016, nothing else really matters to me.  Happy new year to all. the beginning of the spring season  one of the last snow storms of last winter. beautiful storm our trip to Florida the beginning of summer Summer Festival in Milwaukee our first time in Minneapolis this summer our first time to Minneapolis this summer our fall trip to New York city our fall trip to New York city our fall trip to New York city our fall trip to New York city our fall trip to New York city  our fall trip to New York city

Christmas is one day away and the sweetest thing for me to experience is for sure the excitement, the hopeful anticipation of the little ones. It's wonderful to look into my little kid's eyes, believing in magic, without questioning anything. Have a great Christmas, full of magic, good health and peace. Love these little vintage cards I found online.

I can't believe the year is almost over. Of all, this year that is coming to an end (in only two more weeks) seemed to me the fastest year I have ever lived in my entire life. It flew by in front of my eyes. It literally feels to me only like a few months ago when the year started. It always surprises me the way I feel about time at this point of the year. So far we have been trying to be very aware that the month of December will fly by too and for that reason we've been trying to have our little one enjoy everyday a little activity related to Christmas and the whole Holiday spirit. We made a list and we are determined to stick to that list, so our Holidays in 2015 stay with us as a sweet memory, get photographed (of course) and remembered for years to come. So far our count down to Christmas in a few photos, I'm sharing here...... more coming. Happy winter break. Happy Holidays, healthy, safe and peaceful for all and each of you.

And here it is, my very affordable and fun list of things to do these last two weeks before Christmas. 1. Sunday concert series at The Olbrich Gardens. (2 more concerts before Christmas) 2. Train models exhibition at The Olbrich as well. 3. The usual visit to see the  Huge Christmas tree at The Capitol building. 4. Christmas concerts at The State Capitol. 5.

Ice Skating at The Edge Water. 10. Story time at Barnes and Noble. 11. The Governor's mansion Holiday tour. 12. Santa's reindeer visits the Library. Only 14 days 'till Christmas. Have a healthy weekend.
