Happiness Is...

When I did the eBook giveaway [Win Some Happiness], I prompted my readers to tell me what makes them happy. I loved reading their responses. I said I would make my happy list in a post later on.

Here it is :)

At the moment, My Happiness Is....

• Coffee. A simple {good} hot cup of coffee. Lifts my spirits every time.
• Mornings in this new house. We wake early {not so much by my choice haa} and once the haze wears off, I quite like mornings. The sun rises over our back deck, light comes streaming into our big glass windows, and it's kind of magic. It's beautiful. The kids are happy in the mornings and our days usually start calmly.
• Being able to stay at home with my babies. I'm thankful for paid maternity leave, and for a Husband who works hard to provide an opportunity for me to be a stay-at-home Mumma to our 2 little loves.
• Colour. Colour makes me happy.

• Shortbread biscuits. My weakness at the moment.
• Cool mornings. Warm days. Snuggly nights. A chance to dig out leg warmers :)

• Handing over the iPad3 to the winner - the lovely Charmaine from Salon Indulge.

• Hearing my baby boy giggle.
• Picnics with my little family. Being together makes me VERY happy.

• Watching my kids play & interact. Nothing sweeter.
• Ella's love to learn & read & write. I hope this eagerness continues :)

• Grabbing a quiet moment every now & then to read. Read a real book. For grown ups....not a kids one hehehe.
• Playdates with little friends & their Mummas.
• The occasional child-free date night with my gorgeous man. I love him.

• Friends. Who are there no matter what.
• Painted nails.
• Staying up late to write & blog & simply enjoy the peace of the house.
• Reading Ella her first Chapter Book {Matilda by Roald Dahl} I am surprised that each & every night she sits there so contently listening to each word & taking it all in. 
• Fairy Floss {Cotton Candy} at the fair.

• Being a Mum. And having my Mum & Mother-In-Law with me on Mothers Day to celebrate Motherhood.
• Planning parties.
• His sparkly eyes.

• Quiet days at home. In pj's til lunchtime. Nowhere to go, nothing to do.
• Sleep.
• Family who help in more way than one. I am blessed with an amazing, loving family. And I have married into a wonderful family too.

I could keep going & going! But I'll leave it there & save the rest of my happy list for another post :)

I'll ask again, just for fun, What makes you happy?
