__________ makes me happy


Eating a simple dinner:
-shredded chicken (baked or slow cooked for a few hours with lemon, olive oil, S&P
-hummus
-greens
-marinated peppers
-sundried tomatoes
-goat cheese
-a favorite vinaigrette or a bit of lemon & olive oil

feeling SUNSHINE!
lying down in the (needs-to-be-mowed) grass and taking a deep breath.
the month of April.
reading.
hyacinth. 
Tom from Parks and Rec. 
finally being able to buy Tangled. I cannot get over how much I love that movie.
when my dreams have music in them (The Weepies Antartica)
Ben Kweller.
A certain little girl insisting that dandelions are "beeaauuutiful flowers, and that they should go in vases all over the house (which they did).

I know this doesn't answer the question at the end of your post, but since I know you are big into healthy eating I wanted to pass along this link. It's a really great blog that is all about nutrition, eating healthy, etc. & its pretty artfully done (it's not my own blog, so this isn't shameless promotion or anything...just something I'd thought you'd enjoy!)

The beach! We had the best morning there yesterday and I can't wait to be going lots more! We are having warmer than usual spring days (85 yesterday), but I prefer to take advantage of them instead of complain!

Most things! I enjoy so many things, both simple and grand. Enjoying my surroundings is what my life is about!

I too love dandelions, they make me happy. I wish that I could grow a whole flower bed of them without the neighbours all hating me. The look so cheery :)

Love notes from my hubby, sun shining brightly through my windows, being caught up on the laundry, blooming flowers, hiking in the mountains, eating crispy apples, kneading bread dough, the smell of fresh baked bread, when my day works out and my kids come home to fresh baked cookies after school, sitting down enjoying dinner with my family, sitting on my front porch listening to the birds, home made soup, the smell of fresh cut grass, my kids walking in the door from school and telling me all about their day, morning twilight walks with my hubby, sunrises and sunsets. Hugs and kisses from my hubby after he walks in the door after work. Listening to beautiful music, listening to upbeat music and being crazy and dancing with my kids around the house, Cuddling on the couch playing footsies with my hubby while we watch a movie. Walks around the block hand in hand with my sweetie. Fresh eggs from our chickens. Morning breakfast of steel cut oats.

Hope your weekend is FULL of all of the many things that make you HAPPY!!! Have a wonderful weekend!

Your naan makes me happy :) I made it last night and copied your dinner idea and it was perfect. Thank you!! Besides your naan, sunshine, a glass of red wine, friends on our front porch, hosting dinner parties, reading, being with my husband, my sister coming to visit....oh so many things make me happy!! Finding your blog goes on that list too.

Right now the smells of spring are keeping me VERY happy. I am loving just being able to breath right now. Spring is, for sure, my favorite season of all.

Thanks for your post! I can't wait to make some naan!

Hello hello! I just sent you a question on formspring, but realized too late that I left it anonymous. I was hoping that you would be able to share a few recommendations for camera lenses. I'm looking to upgrade, & I love to know what you shoot with. Btw, your blog is so inspiring! You are motivating me to be a better photographer. :)
