things that have been making me happy recently…
– My husband always makes my happy list. He’s my other. My rock. My best friend. My inspiration. My biggest supporter. Our marriage has been in a really solid place recently and it brings me such joy. There’s really nothing better than feeling connected to your partner.
– Pumpkin candles. I’m obsessed with pumpkin candles. OBSESSED. I light one the minute I walk through the door and it doesn’t get blown out until I go to bed.
– Movie dates with my momma. We saw “The Good Lie” and we both loved it. Such an incredibly moving film. I was blown away with the performances. See it!
– Yoga dates with my neighbor Eric. He just cracks me up.
– Long bubble baths with a stack of magazines and an iced coffee.
– Peanut butter frozen yogurt with almonds on top.
– My favorite tv shows are back (silly but true!). I love cuddling up on the couch for a good laugh or a good cry.
– We got a new car this past weekend! I’m in love and I am not even a car girl. But really is there anything better than the smell of a new car?
– The “Map My Walk” application on my phone. I use it every morning on my walk with Frankie. The handy-dandy app keeps track of all my stats. Frank and I average 2.5 miles a day. He’s a trooper that little guy.
– A travel essay that I wrote (and Brian shot all the photos for!!) is being published on one of my favorite sites. So excited to share it with you all…soon!
