8 Things Every Happy Woman Should Have

I saw this adorable post on Natasha's blog and thought I would play along. I changed it up a bit instead of answering Cupcakes & Cashmere's 8 Thing Every Happy Woman Should Have - I made up my own!
 
1. A Dog
 
Come on - you all knew that would be #1. And I honestly believe it. Dogs have an amazing ability to know exactly what you need. As if you needed even more reasons.
 
 
2. Access to water
It can be a beach, lake, river or pond. I feel so much more happy when I am near a body of water. It's the Pisces in me.
 
3. Family
 
I am so blessed by my five nephews. They are all such incredible little boys and I am so excited to watch them grow and have a close bond with them.
 
4. Girlfriends
A girl is not complete without her entourage and mine is pretty amazing. And for all those people who say "I am more of a guy's girl" well you're missing out on some amazing relationships - so go make some girlfriends! 
 
5. Alone time
 
I love spending time with my husband and girlfriends. However it's always nice to find something you enjoy doing alone. Here are six more good reasons.
 
6. The ability to laugh
Life is way too short to take it so seriously. There is no better way to spend the dash between your years than by making memories.
 
7. A passion
 
Now this is one of those things I didn't quite grasp until later on in life. Yet I am on my way and I thank my little rescue for showing me...
 
 
 8.  A Smile
Less wrinkles and you just look better with one on your face!

5 Things that Make Me Happy

 
1. Blankets
Giraffe at Home has such amazing blankets! My husband bought me this when I bonked my head on the bottom of our friends pool (ouch!). It definitely made me feel better!
This IS stationary heaven and one just opened up in my town! My gift wrapping skills are about to become so much more impressive!

Hedgehog Wrapping Paper yes please!!
 
3. The Ocean
I swear all my troubles just melt away when standing next to a body of water.
 I am a true Pisces :)
This is me on our honeymoon in Kauai!
 
4. A good book
Currently I am reading Unbroken, which is not a normal read for me but it's my book clubs current pick. I have yet to sit down with it and really dive in. But so far so good! My two favorite books are A Dog's Purpose & The Other Boleyn Girl. SO GOOD!


 
 
5. My little family
 
 
After seven years together my husband and I tied the knot on October 6, 2012! We have been together since we were 21, survived a long distance relationship (he was in Kansas City, MO and I was in San Diego, CA) and rescued our dog, Finnley in 2010. I am so lucky to have him as my other half!
 
Well that is a little about me! Hope you enjoy reading my blog - this is all new to me!!
