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!
