Thanks to my new neighbor, Lāsma (who has a son the same age as Nelle and moved here about a month ago), my oldest girl is registered in the school of art!
Last Monday we were in the art school for the first time and she loved it! And now she’s been asking if it’s Monday and can we go to the art school again :). And I’m glad she liked, cause she’s been asking me to bring here there since September…
About me and getting out: I’m “sitting at home” not going anywhere, only outside for the walk, I don’t like drive, I don’t like to be in the city, it makes me dizzy. So this is big for me, I’m out of the home and I had to wear something “good”. I can’t go out in leggings and t-shirt…
So last Monday while kids were in the art school we were in the local cafe (we have 2 cafes) and tasted Apple Strudel with Ice cream and I didn’t take coffee! I took hot chocolate. Celebrated our kids first day at art school
When we came in the classroom to pick them up they were the only ones left at the desk doing something “artsy”.

P.S. Sometimes I think I have “problem” but trust me I’m very friendly and communicable. I just feel good at home…

Thank you, Jodi! I tried to look good…somehow after I build my kitchen I bought classic trousers, blazer, blouse and new heel boots… and trying to leave leggings and t-shirt at home when going out to the city 🙂

It sounds wonderful and you look lovely! I just came in from shopping and had a ‘hot chocolate’, except it’s not, I’d call it ‘cocoa’. Hot chocolate is sold, a powder to add to hot milk, in shops but it’s mostly sugar, so I buy cocoa powder and make it less sweet. Nellie’s going to take after her mum – very creative! As for your final paragraph – of course I know that; you certainly don’t have a problem 😃😉

I don’t like hot chocolate. If you are adding full fat milk you don’t need sugar at all! We are drinking cocoa without any sugar! (and YES made from cocoa powder 🙂 )

You look great and so glad she enjoys art school. Hot chocolate is better than coffee (I bet you figured that though from my earlier comment). 😀

Yeah! But this one was so sweet…as I mentioned in the comment up – we are drinking hot chocolate made from 2 ingredients: cocoa powder & milk – no sugar, no flavours 🙂 Simple & Healthy for my little girls & delicious actually!

I love to see children being creative – I’m glad your daughter loves the art school. I would much rather see children with a paint brush and crayons in their hands than electronic gadgets…. !

We don’t have electronic gadgets… no.. we do have a lot (since Janis and I we are computer geeks) but not for children! As computer geeks we know how harmful it is..how dull you get after few hours with electronics! Sometimes I want to talk to the parents….

Lovely pics. Some people are happy at home -I don’t like being in day after day even in the winter. We don’t have arty classes outside school hours

Great opportunity for Nelle to attend art school. Nice for you to go out occasionally. Even if it is just to appreciate what you have at home. Nice photo of you.
