Bits of Happy

The past week has been pack full of everything.. Birthdays (3 nephews within the week), Christmas, family family family…..Its a lot, but its been great. Not going to lie, I am ready for a little quite time, maybe a nice long day of locked doors and dead phones….we will see. But anyway, here are a few little bits of happy that I managed to snap photos of(I have been slack on picture taking this week)This is an amazing book, full of pictures and information about 123 different varieties of apples….I am so excited to read it! My love got it for me for Christmas….So nice, so sweet. Its been a weird weather week..warm and gray.. This touch of blue really stood out.I found my favorite rag wool socks (Hooray!!!!).. and wore them all week.(don't judge)

Ice Skating!!! One of my nephews was born on Christmas so we always do a skating  party at the ice rink on Christmas eve……….another of  my favorite family traditions…Always a super blast. Here my sister and nick were giving this little her first ever skating lessons. All I can say is good thing she was wearing a helmet.

 Another gift from the mister…a weck juice jar……If you know me or are getting to know me, you will know that I am jar obsessed and weck jars are some of my favorite. I eat, drink, store everything in jars. This beauty is destined for tea and or coffee.

I am not saying this because he is my lover, but Nick is an amazing artist. He has really gotten into using spray paint and has been doing some really awesome large scale images(nothing illegal…….yet!!) He did this whale a few days ago.. I am always blown away at he talent.

Popcorn drizzled in melted peanut butter….. WHOA!!!!! I also like to add garlic salt and chunks of fresh apple. It is the best most fantastic movie snack ever………Maybe I'll share with you sometime.An early morning walk with the pup to the waterfront…We watched the sun come up...I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday.. eating some good food, relaxing, spending time with loved ones. So soon it will be 2015(Holly f***!!) Lets get ready!!!!!

Have a Happy Week!!!!

Bits of Happy

What the …….! . Is it really Christmas this week? I don't know where the time went. and I am feeling a bit of the holiday pressure. Every year I tell myself that I won't give in…I have nothing to stress about. Guess what, I am just at tiny bit stressed..But thats cool. I might feel the pressure, I might feel a little agitated or like someone close to me is going to end up getting punched( sorry if its you). but I aways try to stop and take in the little stuff, take in the happy.. This is why I started my bits of happy post every week. It's a way to wrap up the week and a way to remember how awesome my life is and the little things that make me happy. Wow.. maybe my next career move will be a motivational speaker. That or a window washer…. You get to look through windows without seeming like a creeper. And you know when you breathe on a window and use your finger to draw something, then it goes away but you can see it when later when there is more condensation?  I would draw pictures and leave weird words on people's windows……that would be amazing…..Anyways…….

Sylus…the house dinosaur. He has been chillin under the christmas tree as of late.  I think he is drinking the water cause it always seems empty..

Catching the ice crystals before the sun melts them away.

Early morning hike with my favorite people in the world…. and the trash dog. Yes, he has found some stink on the trail and is rolling around in it. Thats' my pup.

I finally finished this sweater! It came out so good! I made it to big so it actually is a sweater dress for now(which is amazing) and she will grow into it to wear as a sweater. I am pretty proud of myself for this one!

A pizza, cookie, and christmas movie party!!!!! We watched the Polar Express and trashed my tiny house. Good times!

A surprise purple potato.

This Yule log.…I sent a pic to my Dad and he asked if it was a real piece of wood. That's  a success right? Or does it mean that my Dad needs to get his eyes checked? '

We got to keep this one for a couple days this week. Do I need to explain why this make me happy?

I mean…. for real…..she is too much. Sometime I think I don't want to have my own kids cause I am afraid I might not love them as much as this little.

I like to eat large quantities of green stuff……This stainer is full of lovely greens from my farm share. All for me! With shredded carrots, shredded roasted beets and a big scoop of lentils……Meal of my heart.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEK!

P.S.. remember not to stress too much and try to find the happy and pretty in everyday. And don't just eat a bunch of crap…eat some freaking veggies too! (See, I am motivational)
