Ooh, let me know what color and kind of Hoptimist you get! Mine’s on my desk and I bop it on its head whenever I need a little pick-me-up. It never fails to make me smile.
This made me so happy to hear, Sophie, because I honestly wasn’t sure if the trip recap was interesting enough to share! Thank you for saying such lovely things. Have a great weekend! 💛
What an amazing trip! Congrats on being a Guest of Honor! It was fun to see all of your photos. :) I'm currently reading A Girl Called Samson, which is historical fiction. And I published my monthly folklore-inspired newsletter this week, which explores the magical birds of Rhiannon. https://stephraemoran.substack.com/p/the-magical-birds-of-rhiannon
What a fun trip! 🥳 Copenhagen is on my list of "future family friendly vacations" because I have a new local writer/journalist friend here in Asheville who is married to a Dane and always boasts of the city's awesomeness when it comes to mothers and young children. I wonder if this was your impression, too?
Last week, I published this personal essay: https://katrinadonhamwrites.substack.com/p/at-the-moma?r=3cnvg1. It's about visiting a place from a past life after becoming a mother and also how the past affects our present and can be a tool, a gift, a lesson. 💗 I'd love to hear your thoughts and/or this wonderful community's feedback.
Such lovely pictures, thank you for sharing! Love the canal shot and yes, the one of the danish! (But what do they call it there??? lol). The Good Part sounds like something that I would very much enjoy- thanks for the rec!
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! I’m currently reading The Wedding People by Alison Espach! My book coach thinks it might be a good comp for my novel. Then I plan to watch your interview with Alison!
oh my gosh, how fortuitous about The Wedding People being a comp for your book, Barb! I love when the universe does things like that, crossing our paths with what we just happen to need!
Well all of this brings me great joy!! I’m adding the Happiness Museum to my list of places to go 😍😍 and I love those little Hoptimists. I’m so glad you had such fun!! Thank you for sharing your joys with us 😍😍😍
Love everything about this post! Thanks for the Weisfeld rec. This MG mystery and historical fiction reader is challenging myself to read MG non-fiction and graphic novels. This challenge is a learning curve even for an experienced (retired) school library media specialist! I'd ❤️ more recommendations. Beth
Oh, hooray, Beth! I'm so glad you're going to check out Brian's book! He's such a lovely person, too. I love how he's dedicated himself to MG-aged kids. I'm going to have him on the podcast soon, so I'll ask him for more MG recs for you!
Such colorful houses! Like the Painted Ladies in SF. And I now want a Hoptimist, Thanks for sharing that link.
Ooh, let me know what color and kind of Hoptimist you get! Mine’s on my desk and I bop it on its head whenever I need a little pick-me-up. It never fails to make me smile.
Thanks for sharing about The Feely Cards!!!
very happy to!
What a beautiful trip! Thanks so much sharing, Evelyn!
I was so happy to share it with you, E!
Love the VoiceOver--love all the joy! (Not to mention the pretty pictures.)
Hooray, thank you, Diana! I have fun recording the voiceovers, so I'm glad that comes through! Happy Saturday to you!
This whole article just puts a smile on my face, the voiceover with your happy cheerful voice ofcourse helps 🙂 now I want to go to Denmark!
This made me so happy to hear, Sophie, because I honestly wasn’t sure if the trip recap was interesting enough to share! Thank you for saying such lovely things. Have a great weekend! 💛
Definitely interesting enough 😃

Aww thank you, Maria!

I loved seeing all the parents (moms and dads) biking their children around. So cute!

I’m glad you enjoyed the photos! And I hope you like The Good Part, too. I was crying (in a good way) on the train in Denmark while I read it.
