Vi ses, Denmark

     I can't believe my time in Denmark is actually up. It's definitely been a bitter sweet move. I've really grown to love this city and even more so the people in it. These are the memories that made this time unforgettable... These amazing girls... A whirl wind of good times with Mischa A quick but great friendship with Rachel Several Dyrhavn trips with Rachel, Maria, Jen, and Anne-Lise This bundle of cuteness  And these good times with the kiddos The homey feeling of Charlie Scott's with Marc, Kasper, Eugene and the gang Thanksgiving with this crew So many fun times with Megan and Molly at the movies, the fountain, and Francis Mom's Christmas visit The Amys' visit to Denmark  Traveling to some awesome places  This guy... Ooh, this guy... Going into this, I had no idea was what was to come. I guess you never do though, huh? Even with the job turning out different than expected, I wouldn't even th

   It's new, super, awesome adventure update time! For those of you that don't want to read the full write up, scroll down for the highlights. Now for my much appreciated super  readers, enjoy!       Lucky me got to go on a trip to Italy with Sune two days after finishing my work as an Au pair. What an awesome way to celebrate and spend my time before returning home.  Typical flying picture      So, we got to Milan early on June 6th for a long day of exploring. Instead of waiting two hours for a bus, we decided to walk to our destination for hiking...  60km to Verbania? "Sure we can do that in a day!" The cute, old, Italian men fishing along the river saw the humor in that goal. But we set out anyway and had a really pretty walk along a river. This would've led us the whole way, but due to our lack of planning with no food, water, or reliable map, and growling tummies, we strayed off the river to find some food. We found a restaurant where we managed to

Perfect Days with the A's

          My best friends Amy and Amy (cause for a lot of jokes but at least no forgetting names) came to visit last week! They stayed from Thursday til the next Friday, but for what seemed like a month. (In a good way!) we got so much done, had so many laughs, saw countless beautiful scenes, ate far too much, heard so much music, enjoyed the sun in parks, gardens, canals, and the beach, and ate outside as much as possible. I took them to lots of my favorite cafes, restaurants, chill spots, new restaurants, touristy activities, and more. As Amy coined the phrase for the week we were "accomplishing much, breathing often."           On Thursday , I picked them up at the airport with Lagkagehuset in hand, with plans of having a relaxing afternoon coffee and cake before getting the kids. I couldn't contain my excitement, as my Facebook friends could see from my bouncing in the metro seat status. With a late flight, it ended up being more rushed and stressful than I'd ha

(Mostly) Merry Month of May

       My inspiration for the title and the perfect introduction for this post...    I had  another  long(ish) weekend last weekend (as in I had dinner off because the kiddos were going for haircuts and McDonald's) so I headed to Sune's where we had a nice, lazy night with TV shows and movies.     So to Amager beach, my man and I went since we had a car for once! We explored the beach, the sporting events going on, didn't get the ice cream we wanted, and chilled in the not so comfy sand for a bit before the looming rain sent us home for sushi along the way.     Sune had a wedding gig that night, sooo that meant a night with the M's! Have any posts I've written ever gone from that last statement to anything but having an awesome night? I don't think so... We started at the fountain with some wine, harmonica playing, and battling the cork in Megan's wine with a pen, keys, and fingers. But Megan prevailed and got into it... Close call. We then w
