Dear Thank You Journal,
After last week’s post, I think this week needs to be a little more light hearted. What do you think?
So, here are ten things that always put a smile on my face. No matter what.
- Goofy toddler faces.
[singlepic id=454 w=450] - Surprise bear hugs and “I love you momma”
- The 1 pound chocolate bar from Trader Joe’s. Although, sadly, it isn’t a full pound anymore.
- New favorite songs that actually let me hug the kiddo without him trying to squirm away (8 Hugs a Day
by Tom Pease)
- Knowing that my iPhone will be in my hands in just 3 long short weeks.
- The bottle of wine in the fridge, just waiting for Friday.
- Dreaming of Seattle, and our vacation last year.
[singlepic id=453 w=450] - Little feet revving up at the sound of Dad-oo coming home.
- A large Chai tea with chocolate and a shot of espresso from my favorite local coffee bar.
- Toddler belly laughs. Always.

That chai w/ chocolate and espresso sounds heavenly… oh my word…
@Corinne, It really, honestly is delish. The best coffee drink I’ve ever had.
Those are such fun things!
Loved your list.
Stopping by from Mama Kat’s
This post was so fabulous : )
It totally made me smile.
And how super do you look on that vacation. Lovely!
@life with kaishon, There’s just something about vacation that makes a person glow, isn’t there?
I LOVE your new meme, and reading about what makes you happy! Is that a yellow purse I see on your shoulder?
I have one the same color.
@angie, It sure is! I don’ think that I own a purse in anything but a bright color. Purple, blue, striped. Nothing brown, black or boring in my closet. I hope you link up some week!
Gotta love toddler faces. The pudgy cheeks. The perfectly tiny teeth. The sticky stuff of unknown etiology. Perfect!
@Dumb Mom, They DO have perfect teeth. How does that happen?
Oh man, chai with chocolate sounds AMAZING!
@Mrs Soup, It SO is. Thanks for linking, by the way!
Is there anything better than your number 2 — toddler hugs? Number 3 might be close…
@Doing the Mom Thing, I know, toddler hugs totally make my day. Thanks for linking up again this week!
Wine, belly laughs and chocolate? Heaven my dear friend!
1. You know I am ALL for the dirty chai! ALL for it. And it’s been too long since I’ve had one. Perhaps tomorrow I will have to treat myself.
2. I adore that photo of you on vaca.
3. Little feet revving up to the sounds of daddy coming home? So very very !!!
@Sarah, A dirty chai is on my list for tomorrow. I can’t wait! I must snap a photo for next week’s !!!
Love the toddler face. I am so dreaming of a vacation right now…
I love how many of your items that make you happy are kiddo related. Isn’t being a mom awesome
@Amy, It is awesome. Exhausting. Bu awesome.
