happiness is… kicking off summer

July 2, 2012 by Ella

Happiness is…

a long weekend
a huge family reunion
awesome food
another celebration with friends
more awesome food
relaxing
in the backyard
and by the lake

a sister-date-night at Rawlicious
strolling the lovely Bloor West Village
and talking for hours with my soul-mate

celebrating Canada Day
and going out for a huge fireworks display

sleeping in
no-recipe blueberry pancakes
getting comfortable with gluten-free and vegan foods
(just need to double up the batch for next time – these get gobbled up too quickly)

having 2 kiddos!
(we have my husband’s nephew staying with us for a full month)
the house is louder
there’s more laughter
there’s more children’s activities
yet we’re still hearing ‘i’m bored’
and yes there is homemade ice cream
there are yummy smoothies
and making music that only a mom truly enjoys
and now having just a little quiet time
before we kick off our official
first week of summer!

What is making you happy right now?

    All of these activities sound lovely. I hope that having the two kids together helps to keep them occupied! Since they are not brother and sister, hopefully they aren’t fighting. ;) Have a great week!

      Well…. that wouldn’t be Happiness now would it if I went into the details?! ;P
      LOL
      They have their moments – there’s some fighting going on
      but they are pretty good together – definitely keeps my daughter entertained and occupied. He’s over from Europe so it will break our hearts when he leaves.
      Gotta enjoy him while we have him ;) So hard when family can’t grow up together ;(
