Things That Are Making Me Ridiculously Happy

It’s Friday! And I’m feeling especially happy. So I thought I’d create a little happy list. What’s making you ridiculously happy today?

+coming home to a wiggly pup who is ecstatic to see me every evening
+riding my bike to and from the train station every day – I feel so officially Dutch!
+any and all sun breaks we get – the weather has been less than stellar this week, complete with scary thunder and lightning!
+having friends in town – they just got engaged in Paris! we’ll be celebrating all weekend!
+the fact that we are going home in five days! can you believe it?!
+husband having dinner ready for me when I get home from work – he’s becoming quite the little chef. he takes his househusband responsibilities seriously :)
+pinterest. endless inspiration. addictive, amazing inspiration!

I'm off to enjoy a relaxing weekend in Amsterdam. We don't have a ton planned, but we have a lot of preparing to do for our trip home next week!

  2. I read a poem several years ago that said the good days are those that pass in a whisper...I always try to remind myself of that and be thankful for all those little joys. So happy that you are all settling in!

  3. Is that a Boston Terrier? My family used to have one, Daisy. Such a cute little pup. Love this happy list idea. I may just have to use this in the future. Have a great weekend :)
