happiness is…

Hello and Happy Monday…

Today is a bit of a write off day for me… as both me and my girl got sick…. so it’s a little harder to find happiness in the day… but still, there’s lots to be happy about…

Happiness is…

Over the weekend…
we went to my lil sister’s for dinner
then went out shopping
with a 20% coupon to Winners
when I used mine up,
I passed it to a lady in the lineup
(tis the season for giving, right?)

Saturday, was real sweet as
we ended up going to a pool
where my daughter (yes, my 5 year old)
went about teaching me to swim
I shared this on facebook one time, but she once said:

“Mommy, I’ll teach you how to swim.
You just have to believe in yourself.”

So this was that special day when she helped
me to swim ;) So how did I do?
I floated! That’s a big step, right?

Also I went to the sauna for a nice relaxing time…
but the pool combined with the sauna then getting out to the extreme cold
is quite possibly what got me sick!

So today is…

a pyjama day
lucky to be home with my little girl
lucky to be able to work from home still (although I do wish I could call in sick today)
happy that the mr. made an awesome dinner today
(vegan burger + buckwheat + sauteed red cabbage with another side of steamed veggies)

Since my daughter missed school,
we enjoyed making little cute things out of drying clay
and went looking for fairies in our home ~ and still do.
5 is really about believing in magic! *smile*

If only now a magic cleaning fairy could come flying in and clean up my house… ;)

What’s making you happy right now?
