Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

;)

Sometimes I realize that I need to take a step back and think of all the things that make me happy.

Here are a few…

Watching Mallard do what he does best. 

 I have never seen anyone be a better father than he has been.

Playing outside with Snuffy on hot summer days …

My collection of hippy mama dresses…

 

Sobe Life Water in fuji apple pear…yum

UPDATE!  I just realized this has no calories or artificial sweetener.  But, it has 6 grams of carbs per serving.  That means 15 grams of carbs per bottle!!

….cross that off my favorites…I am now angry with Sobe lol

 

My handheld blender from cookware.com

 I love this thing almost as much as my pink KitchenAid stand mixer

Best. Gift. Ever.

 

My Dyson..best. vacuem. ever.  All the attachments are on the vacuem.  It’s so easy to use.  Trust me.  I use it at least 4 times a day.

 

T-shirts that say it so I don’t have to ;)    So nice I bought it twice.

 

Barnes and Noble.  I love the atmosphere, the people …ahem…

the Starbucks

 

I have been there (BN) a few times recently…thanks Lindsay  ;)   …

for introducing me to my new favorite author

I finished these two books in a week!  That’s saying a lot for someone who reads hours worth of nursing literature for school

I was sad to be finished with them, so I picked up two more of Jen’s books

 

I have been using my reciepts for bookmarks…reduce, re-use, recycle and repurpose?? Anyone ??

However, I found  a bookmark with my new favorite quote.

 ”It is never too late to be what you might have been.”   -George Elliot

Naturally…

my favorite nut butter.

This is my favorite pic of Snuffy and Pedro

My favorite picture of my little sister and I.  We’re at my “Nan’s” house.  She always makes me feel good when I visit.

 

MGN Cake Batter flavored isolate…yum.  Unfortunately, I made a mistake and ordered “protein blend”  the last time. 

It’s not the same.  It does not mix well and it does not taste as good

 Another thing that makes me feel good is blogging.  I receive so much support from bloggers and readers. 

I have “met” so many incredible women.  So many of your blogs make me smile everyday.  :)

 So, what makes you happy?  What are a few of your favorite things?

    this post was so fun to read. it’s great seeing what makes you happy. and how the hell does something have carbs but no calories?!

    I don’t know! That’s what I said!! That is another example of how the food industry is keeping people unhealthy. Most people wouldn’t think to check the label. It’s like foods “made with whole wheat flour” that are primarly white processed crap. How about reduced fat oreos made with hydrogenated oils and HFCS… We know that I could go on and on…lol I need to take a breather now hah

    Hey! That dress is SOOO cute. you look adorable! i love hippy dresses :)

    also..the carbs in the sobe aren’t digestable, that’s why it says 0 calories. It’s probably from either erithritol or one of the other sweeteners. no worries!!
