happiness is…

Happy Monday my dear friends! I hope you all had a great relaxing weekend. Ours was spent pretty well (except for one fall-out). Through all this I’m still seeing happiness…

– spending a weekend with a good mix of staying in and going out

– relaxing and dancing and being with family

– another dinner with hubby on Saturday night ~ we decided not to call them ‘date nights’ as that sounds very fancy and we’re just two hungry people too lazy too cook, who dropped of their daughter at the aunt’s place, and grabbed some food. This time I went straight into my preferences and got us to dine at Raw Aura – one of my favourite raw food restaurants in the GTA. Happiness? ummm Yeah! which brings me to my next point

– seeing my steak-and-potato guy savouring raw food! We’ve been near there many times, I picked up my favourite raw dish to go and he grabbed something else and it worked. It should be noted that we usually don’t eat the same thing – (oh my, this could be an interesting post ;D) Point is – he did it – he faced his fear of vegetables and went all vegan and gluten free in the raw – and totally loved it! ;)

– catching on some crafting for me

– catching up on laundry – I am so old and such a mom writing this. But yes, I’m happy I have empty laundry bins ~ even if it was for just a few hours ;)

– celebrating a 2 year old’s birthday on sunday

– eating delicious food

– admiring a super cool cake ~ a truck cake for a little two year old that my sister made

– playing awesome cute family games

– laughing and giggling

– and crying ~ but things are ok

– feeling thankful that nothing serious happened when my daughter fell and bumped her head

Please share what makes you happy right now?

edited: My husband was just filling us with the details of the Superbowl commercials and we’ve been having fun watching them. He was out with friend’s doing guy stuff while we stayed longer at the party. Here are some that we liked that were ‘kid’ friendly:

The Kia is my favourite! ;D These are so fun to watch (more than the game for me ;) ~ which one did you like?

ps. more happiness today: I got a sweet surprise and found a coffee table I’ve been eyeing on a ridiculous sale. I took a photo of it with my phone and my husband was ok with it so he went with a friend and the friend’s truck to get it. But he calls me and says that now that he’s seen it up close, he doesn’t like it! I can’t lie, I did get a little upset and sad about it…. but, lo and behold… they just walk in with the table a little while later! Sometimes I still don’t know this man being all sneaky like that ;) That was true happiness! OMG I have an awesome new coffee table for my living room (which you can see here ;)

And you know what else happened? A friend that I’ve been on a rough patch with for the last few months, surprised me at the door and we had tea and talked while our kids played…. Who knew that a monday can be the best day of the week ;) I hope it is going well for you too. xo
