illustrated reykjavik

i stumbled on this city map of reykjavik. it is soooo beautifully illustrated down to the littlest detail! you can zoom in to see little boats resting on the docks to the stained glass windows of Hallgrimskirkja church. awesome!

iceland on my mind

cannot wait to experience the beauty of this country. socks be ready to be knocked off.

happy friday after a not so happy thursday

yesterday was one of those days where i got sucked into the digital world and could not escape. and it brought me low...real low. the kind of day when i decide i don't want to be around people. instead i am going to burrow in at home, order a whole pizza pie and proceed to devour every slice b y  m y s e l f while watching the worst television I can find. do you ever reach a point where you feel so exhausted with life and instead of doing something positive to get out of the slump you drown yourself even deeper into the misery?? oh boy..that was me yesterday. but today i'm back baby! and it is all due to watching this video. this boy's joy is contagious and he dares me to go out and challenge the world. no excuses.

love this so much!

cherry bloosoms + BBG

Took advantage of Saturday's beautiful weather and walked over to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Since we moved to Prospect Heights and expect to become frequent visitors of the garden we went ahead and signed up for a membership. It is so beautiful there right now. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom as well as the Japanese peony trees. G O R G E O U S ! It really is surreal when the wind blows and cherry blossom petals fall like snow...without the cold :) The peony's are also worth a visit. On display are the most luscious colors and the flowers are practically the size of your head.

 

 

 

This kid was happily playing away with little care if he fell into the fountain or not. Seriously had the biggest grin on his face! I love that his mom/babysitter/whoever just grabbed onto his pants and let him go at it. Ahhhh summer.
