Can a high-ranking woman official expect respect from male counterparts and direct reports while carrying a baby and a D&G bag?

Spain says ‘yes’. This is not new news, but a great example that illustrates how to execute balance while serving as a high-ranking political official:

Today’s pen: Parker “51″
Today’s ink: Diamine Syrah

I'm currently fascinated by calligraphy...Since I hand write most of my correspondence, I'd like to learn how to write in modern calligraphy eventually. Here's a video I found on anothers' Wordpress blog.

If you have read my blog for a while, you recognize this book! I loved Princess of the Midnight Ball, which is a retelling of this story. I have had this book ever since I can remember! I love the ornate illustrations in it!

I really hope to share this book with my (maybe) little kids someday!
