Things That Make Me Happy

There are so many things that can make us happy in the world and, today, I wanted to focus on a few of those. With the Miracle Ball coming up and my super stress about this Saturday being the first ever event I have chaired, there are many a thing that I like to think about other than that looming to-do list. Here are a few of them. 

  • A sense of humor. Yesterday our bathroom flooded and turned half of our bedroom, closet, and hallway into a nice little in-home pond. It took a bit to see the humor in it, but find it we did. I am so happy that us humans have the ability to take the bad and make it good. I am also thankful for a husband who helps me laugh. 
  • The SNL 40th anniversary show. It was the funniest thing ever and the literal definition of happiness. So good, so funny, so many memories. I am really not sure which sketch was my favorite but Wayne's World is pretty high on the list for sure!
  • Federated Media and the accidental e-mail chain I got on. If you are a blogger and have any known (or unknown) connection to Federated Media, chances are you know what this is. Pretty much, I blogger thought she wrote an email to one person but sent it to the entire Federated Media email list. There were some pretty big names on that list- I'm looking at you, Damsel in Dior. It was my evening entertainment and the reason for this post. And now, I have about 900 new blogs that simply must be read!
  • The most amazing Harry Potter video ever that puts all of the important Snape moments in chronological order. If you are not crying by the end, your heart is made of stone. 
  • My new Magic Kingdom Starbucks mug. It is only available at the Starbucks in Magic Kingdom and it is my new love. Oh, and I am compiling a post all about the must-do things at Wilderness Lodge, it should be up later this week or early next- Here is a little teaser below :)

  • This yoga video. It is simple, short, and left my buns sore the next day. 
  • This dress. It is what I am wearing to the Miracle Ball and I cannot wait until Wednesday when it comes back to me from getting altered. When it got to the store I rushed in without brushing my hair or putting on any make-up. The face and hair will look a bit different Saturday night ;) Also coming Wednesday, the hub's new tux *squeal*
Pretty dress, no make-up


  • You! There are so many of you who have read and responded to this little blog over the past few years and I am so happy to have you in my life. Thank you!!! 

What are a few of the things that have made you happy this week?

Happy Friday! What do you have planned for this weekend? Our niece, Brenna, had her 5th birthday yesterday and we spent it with her at Disney World. Today, we will be staying a little later and were able to get Fast Passes on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train during the opening weekend! I am seriously excited about this and am hoping to get some pictures of it up on the blog Sunday... Let's just see if I remember to snap any once we get there :) 

Then, we have her birthday party and I have a few meetings for All Children's this weekend as well. We are also hoping to see A Million Ways to Die in The West or Maleficent at some point in the next few days! What fun things do you have planned for this weekend?

I love this house and have the same area rug! 

Uber's future. 

Harry Potter's new home. 

Don't miss this workout!

What's your opinion on vaccines?

Honoring Maya Angelou. 

Replace your morning coffee.
