Happiness is....(march 21)

This is the second week of the happiness is..... posts. This week I am finding myself oddly happy with........coasters. I have these coaster that I got from Target. I love them. I have barely used them because I am so afraid to get them dirty. They have become more a splash of color for my room. I love them so much and I can't help but smile when I see them......(as sad as that may sound) Enjoy.
What is your happiness for this week??

Happiness is....

Dear readers, on-lookers, followers and everyone in between. Hello. For several weeks now I have been kicking around the idea of creating something weekly. Not just a regular photo post but something that you can join in on. So here it is. It is a happiness post. There are several things in our daily lives that make us happy. It could be anything from a paper clip to a person. Happiness is all around us. My plan is to spread all of our joy weekly and share with others. So, I am asking you.....What makes you happy? What brings that smile to your heart? If you can think of something, then post a comment to my post about your happiness and maybe add a photo. You could even post something on your own blog about it if you would like.

I will start..
My happiness is baby giggles. I have been thinking about what would be my first choice for awhile. Up until a couple of hours ago I had an idea but it quickly changed while hanging out with my niece Madison.
It always amazes me how babies laugh at the weirdest things. Tonight, I was holding one Madison's toys and was blowing on it, trying to move it. She started laughing so hard that she fell over on the bed. I was so adorable and infectious. I wish that I could have attached a video of it but for now here is a photo of her giggling.

She's so cute!!

Birthday Surprise

These past two weeks have been extremely busy for me. The biggest event, and most difficult, was my mom's surprise birthday photo-shoot. We have been working for months to iron out the details and get everyone together. I had to practically force her to wear a certain color. It was worth all of the sneaking around. She was so surprised to see everyone on the beach. I am so glad that everything went well. Here are some of the photos I took while we were all together.

The water was so amazingly clear..it was beautiful.








I didn't make into some of the photos because it started raining. Everyone did so well. Even the kids didn't mind the rain.
My favorite one.

My Mom

Today is a very special day....

Today is my mom's birthday!

A note to my mother:
I am so lucky to be able to call you my mom. I was thinking back today over all of the laughs and fun times we have had together. You and I both know that there are several of those. You have always made me feel special and loved. I know that I can always count on you to be my biggest supporter no matter what I go through. I remember when a new school year would start, I would find a letter/card from you saying that you loved me and wished me good luck. Of course you always did manage to throw words of wisdom in the letter too ;) You are pretty wise, you know. Thank you for always supporting me no matter what. This past year has been difficult and I couldn't have gotten through without you. You are one of my best friends and an amazing mother. You always have been. I love you more than you could possibly know. Happy Birthday Mom. xoxo
