little bits of happiness, week four.

this is my fourth week linking up with stephanie for the happiness meme.  have i mentioned how much i love going throughout my week trying to find things that make me happy?  i like it.

here's a few tidbits of happiness from the last week of my life.


•  the springy flower garland made out of post-it notes hanging in my entryway.  my mom made all but two of them.  i conveniently learned how to make them when we really didn't need many more made but i swear i didn't do it on purpose... i had a toddler to chase after & little time to fold flowers.  ok, there was probably lots of instagram, facebook & blogging mixed in there too.


•  p-ray & his love for trains.  although at this exact second he looks less than satisfied by them.  this little monster makes me laugh so hard.  and sometimes grit my teeth & pull my hair.  but mostly laugh.


•  the new color scheme going on in our living room.  it started with outing the dark red curtains & replacing them with yellow ones.  then went the red throw pillows & in came blue.  every new splash of color in the room gives me a whole new level of happy-face-ness.


•  i have a serious love affair with our new computer.  i daydream about it.  we spend all kinds of time together late into the wee hours of the night snuggled up on the couch, editing photos & watching csi re-runs.  it's becoming our thing.  don't tell sam.


•  and then there's this guy again.  t minus twenty-one days til his second birthday.  i can't wait!

  5. Love the new color scheme! Our living room has a lot of red in it and I'm not super happy about it. My husband wants to keep it, though. I am going for more light and airy colors... and have lots of plans. Just need him to jump on board with me! :-)

  7. I love the way you strung the flowers in random ways - it works great! The blue cushion is a nice fresh addition. I SO miss you all! Cannot see or hear another little one without wanting to hug Parker... oxox

  8. Love that garland - how creative!! I've been reading your blog for awhile now & I really enjoy it! Just finally getting back into blogging myself after a hiatus, so I figure it's time for me to "mingle". ;) Since your little guy is a few months older than my son it's been fun for me to see what I have to look forward to and I've gotten some good ideas from you too! Like spelling out his name in the tub with the foam letters - one of our favorite things! :)
