:: happiness is… a lovely way to start the week with a positive reflection of what brings happiness to you right now. positive thinking on a monday morning ~ there’s no better way to start the week. i hope you will join me.
Well Hello my friends on this rough Monday morning ;) If you just enjoyed a March or Spring break – I think we can all agree it’s a little ‘rough’ to carry on with this Monday, right? So for this reason…. I’m diving deep inside to search out some ‘happiness’…. but secretly wishing we still had just one more day of a lazy day starting with a sleep-in morning…..
Oh, let’s shake off these thoughts, now shall we? Back to reality. Back to our Monday. Let’s hope it’s a good one ;)
Here’s what’s making me happy right now…
true happiness really lately is our weather
so warm and sunny in march. hello is it really march?
we’ve had a great week and a fun weekend,
who can complain….
we went to a maple syrup festival yesterday
this was the first time I learned about sap and maples and the whole process,
sorry, I’m very ‘new’ to lots and kind of discovering things through being a mom or blogging – somehow, these two are the stepping stones to new knowledge ;)
it was good times seeing my whole family and having a great dinner at my sister’s impromptu
my sweet nephew is starting to use his words and there’s a lot of ‘i wuv youuu’s’ coming from him, which is true Happiness, right there in that moment when his big little eyes look up at you
i made a great st. patty’s lunch which I will share with you tomorrow, yummm
right now, I’m enjoying the quiet house
kind of enjoying that the week will get it’s own rhythm again
one that we’re used to and create a certain ‘system’ that keeps our minds and bodies busy
i’m hearing the dehydrator buzzing in the kitchen, making yummy crispy apple slices
i’m sipping my green tea with fresh ginger
i’m still in pyjamas…..
almost ready for the day
i can see the sun is also having a lazy day
as it’s just softly peeking its head out through the bare trees
i think it will be a ‘happy’ day after all
as soon as I try to shake off this dreadful arson news of our beautiful playground in TO ;(
leaving you with a lovely song… (I always try to entertain you in more than one way, don’t i?) it’s by Royksopp – a Swedish beautiful talent…. enjoy ‘What else is there?’ (sorry it’s not a very happy song with a capital C – but really beautiful)
Happy Monday!
What’s making you happy right now?

ps. my apologies if my site is not opening for you… apparently there’s been some technical difficulties – I hate technology sometimes – but if it wasn’t thanks to technology ‘we’ wouldn’t be here ;D xo Ella
Come back tomorrow for a belated St. Patty’s feast! A feast I tell you. Filled with 3 original vegan recipes – wheat-free too! See you then ;)

I enjoyed your list! :) For me, it’s definitely the weather making me happy right now, like you! I also am enjoying a quiet house, with the kids back at school. They had a rough morning, because they have been staying up later at night. Also my daughter was worried about missing me.
Hi Ella ~ Thanks so much for the lovely comments you’ve been leaving on my blog! I feel so far behind, and when I opened this post and saw how big your sweet girl is getting I felt SUPER behind! I always love your HAPPY posts – glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the lovely weather. Ours took a turn for the worse over this past weekend, but the rain was a nice change for us. Have yourself a fabulous week!!! xo
your comment made me laugh today. and yes, this weather! oh this weather! my dd came home and said “i want to learn my times tables!” and she and i both did a double take. she said “this weather has me so happy it makes me want to do things i don’t normally want to do!” lol spring fever :)
what’s making me happy now is heading into that wholesale show load-in, feeling fully prepared, and knowing I have a rockin’ setup.
