- having a great relaxing weekend
- being praised for making the best french toast breakfast for miss G.
- tobogganing with the kids
- celebrating a new graduate
- eating homemade cookies
- cafe americano with hot chocolate and cinnamon
- enjoying one day with hubby saturday night; so beautiful but I do wish the movie ended with the kiss in paris (if you haven’t seen it, please turn it off at that scene)
- watching daddy teach his daughter the words ‘conflict’ and ‘compromise’, as her Sunday movie coincided with his football game
- the big girl brushing her teeth all on her own ;)
- this very beautiful and powerful song (although with not-so-happy lyrics) by a Canadian band Walk off the Earth
They are singing a cover of this original song by Gotye.

So my friends, please do finish the sentence in your own words with what brings happiness to you right now:
Happiness is…

– today is a Blue Monday aka the most depressing day of the year ~ or so is the theory. But remember, you have the power to not make it so, choose instead a Happy Monday!
– today is also Martin Luther King Day in the United States ~ happy long weekend to my friends south of the border.

Maria, so great you can also look at mondays in a different way ;)
Have a lovely week ahead.

Congratulations! How exciting.
I read somewhere online that since “mon” means “my” in French, Monday really means “my day”, which makes it a much lovelier day of the week, doesn’t it? That makes me happy every Monday now.
But I’m particularly happy that today is a holiday in the US, so it’s the last of a 3-day weekend. =)
Hmm ‘my day’ does sound pretty good ;)
a long weekend???…. you guys are so lucky! Enjoy!!!
I would love a cat pancake please!
Thanks for visiting today :)
Happiness today has got to be getting the vet to cut off the bandage on the dogs foot which has fallen and stretched to become like a hockey stick! We are all relieved but mostly the dog!

Holy moly I gotta try that lil fruit plate! We have all of those ingredients in our kitchen right now :D Congrats on the blog award- you totally deserve it :D Happy Wednesday!
congrats on being a finalist! you SO deserve it. This blog is a feast for the eyes, and an incredible resource for projects, health etc…
I love that your girls learned “conflict” and “compromise” when it came to kids show vs. football. ha!
I have that song playing over and over on my ipod… :)
I read somewhere line from “mon” means “my” in French, Monday really means “my day”, which makes it a much more beautiful day, is not it? That makes me happy every Monday now.
