The REAL Happiest Place on Earth!

Hey girls!

I know you all think that Disney World may be the "happiest place on earth," but did you know that it's actually Denmark?!  One of the reasons (see all of them here!) this is so is because parental support and gender equality are prioritized - now that's cooler than some theme park if you ask me.

Other reasons why Denmark is a pretty awesome country:

• Legos were originally designed there 
• The words "please" and "thank you" don't exist in Danish
• Denmark has a female prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt
• They ALSO have their first queen since 1412, Margrethe II

A couple of little birdies told me that Margrethe II is quite an amazing lady.  Those little birdies would actually be my parents - who met Queen Margrethe II when my dad was knighted by her in 2003!

Farvel! (goodbye in Danish!)
