Happiness is…

Hello my friends!

Hope you’re all doing well… we are enjoying our long weekend here and hence not much time for posting… but I do have the sweetest photos to share so I told myself that I must sit down and get these sent out to blogland or otherwise, I myself won’t be able to keep track of all the *happiness* that is happening in  my life…

Happiness is…

Love, sweet sweet love…

On V-Day, my husband was just the sweetest and surprised us with a box of gluten-free and vegan sweets and bread from Bunner’s! Yes, good delicious loaf of bread. (not pictured but….)

You probably don’t know me this well, but I got excited about the cupcakes and cookie BUT I got even more excited about the bread!

Bread makes me happy! It’s so hard to find a good gluten-free and vegan bread and this loaf was more than perfect – it was heavenly! ;)

We’re not big romantic people, so we made the day a family-fun day with Sushi take-out and Lady and the Tramp movie night with a little dessert after.

My sweet husband has witnessed the mess I create not only in cooking but also my recipe writing method – needless to say, he was not impressed and is trying to encourage me to organize my recipes. He got me an adorable recipe box (sorry not pictured again), but I love it and I do hope I can change my habits of writing things down in a neat and organized way. (I’ll keep you updated on that.)

My daughter, who is just shy of 5 1/2 still calls cupcakes “pupcakes” and it’s the cutest thing…. I do not dare correct her… *smile* – or should I?

This is my way of holding onto her being so little so so cute… I don’t want her to grow up, ever.

Other than that, we are hibernating away this winter, only what, 6 months to go? ;) lol

A vacation would be really sweet right about now, but my husband got a new gig that is getting him chained to a vicinity of 50 k outside of the city… so we do what we can…

And embrace winter. ;)

There’s soup days, and craft days, and jumping on the bed days, and playing the guitar days…. and making music days out of water-filled-wine glasses…

Happiness.

Do share, what’s on your ‘Happiness list’?

This video here is the inspiration for the music we make lately…

 

Disclaimer : I don’t mean to tempt anyone with these sweets – but it was a special occasion. Miss G. didn’t even have the cupcakes until the next day because it got so late after the sushi and she was completely ok with it!

We like to have fun but don’t go too crazy with sugar at all. My sugar serving is really 1/4 of a cupcake and I’m good! Really! ;) (and that’s only if they are egg, wheat and dairy free) (that cookie lasted 3 days in our house!) Self-control is key here! ;) For those of you on the Sugar-detox Challenge, my apologies for the tempting photos ;)

Wishing you all a beautiful week ahead!
