Last week a five year old walked into my Magical Ballerina class in absolute tears;
she missed her mamma and didn't want to leave her side.
I held her hand and brought all the little ballerinas in a circle where we talked about the one thing I knew would make anyone happy:
Swimming in the summertime.

Once I said those magical words, the little girl stopped crying and told me all about the fun swim parties she would be going to in the upcoming weeks.
Since then, I've been dreaming about all the swim parties I want to attend this summer
and I can't help but get giddy and smiley all over.
Basically, swimming in the summertime = My Happy Place

@marketa- Ha! Well, that's what's so awesome about a happy place- you can dream of it anytime, anywhere.
love the suit! too bad they're out of stock.
You're so sweet, glad the imagination practice worked. I can't wait for the summer time and swimming. Hopefully, I'll be able to visit the beach more than 2 times this summer. The bathing suit is so cute!
Being in the water sounds glorious right now! I just need to find a cute maternity suit. Ha! Love that maillot you found!
Anna- it's in stock at Modcloth. http://www.modcloth.com/shop/onepiece-swimwear/bring-your-pool-pastel-one-piece
Right now my happy place is at Boyfriend's place... it's kind of an escape for me right now.

You are clearly gifted with children! Are you and the Mr. thinking of having your own one day??
I love children and I really seem to do well with them... However, I don't think I want to have my own. Crazy I know! It is just a huge responsibility. Unless I could be assured I could offer them the world, I don't want to make little lives that need more than I have to offer.
That swimsuit is unbelievably cute!
What a sweet story! I have to agree-the ocean has become my happy place, and I can't wait for summer to arrive.
aww totally agree!
i would love to go swimming in a lake in the summer, like noah and allie do in the notebook <3

My happy place : swimming and walking in Brighton England...Ahh the memories...
Awe that's so sweet!! I didn't know you taught little ballerinas, how precious.
What an impossibly sweet story–your little ballerinas are so lucky to have you! I've been dreaming lately about my parents' pool, which they built as much like a swimming hole as they could–I hope I get a chance to dive into it this summer!
my happy place is in the future. Cannot. Stop. Thinking. About. Moving.
That is such a sweet story! My heart melted a little. I bet the kids in your class adore you.
that swimsuit is sooo fun!!
Awh that's so sweet! How come I'm not surprised that you're an amazing teacher. And I so wish I could dip into a pool right now :) xoxo
YES! i miss swimming in the summer.. its a wonderful feeling to be swimming around in the sun!
Such a sweet story! Thinking about swimming in the summertime is a great way to feel better.
You must be such a sweet ballet teacher! Love that orange dress, the swimsuit and those sandals. I can't wait for summer!

That's such a sweet thing you did for the little girl! Swimming in summer definitely is a happy place.
You sound so good with kids - they must love you! I always love your outfit creations. Wish you were closer so we could shop together - I know you would have awesome suggestions. xo
I love being near the water, but I'm not going to lie...unless I'm on someone's back it freaks me out - I can't swim. Seriously.
My happy place right now is dancing. Every single say my goal is to finish my days tasks as quickly as possible just so I can dance. :P
