Five Happy Things
Thursday, January 26, 2012 Posted by Aleksandra Nearing
My work is quite busy right now. This means my blog gets neglected and even my own mother said she had noticed a lack of fun posts about Lily and the family. So, I grabbed my camera and snapped these photos tonight of things that made me happy. I could have gone on and on, but I'm limiting it to five for now.
Happiness is: starting some seeds with Lily this past weekend. Hope we get some good herbs! Thanks to my best friend Lisa for sending Lily a fun herb gardening kit for Christmas!
My new salad spinner. How have I waited 33 years to purchase this must-own kitchen goody? I love it!
Packages in the mail that lead to hours of kid entertainment. These boxes are new condos for the Cinderella-Barbie doll and her other Barbie friend, who wears an entirely too short and too low-cut mini dress and crazy platform heels. I didn't buy it. Lily loves it. Let me leave it at that.
Home decorating tips from a 4 year old. And her dad. Apparently they made these light-fixture decorations this morning. Interesting...although I banished them quickly to the recycling box. They still made me smile :)
And last but not least? The Disney Social Media Moms Conference invite I found in my spam folder. I bought my conference ticket this morning and am excited to attend and bring the family. I think we'll wait to surprise Lily with the news if I can manage to keep it a secret. It will be my first ever blog conference! I'm just a teeny, tiny bit excited!!
If I wanted to, I could probably go on to list quite a few more but now it is time to go chill out with my #1 happiness - the hubby! Did something make you happy today? I hope so!

Congratulations on the plan to attend the Disney SM Mom's Conference! That would make me happy too. I am going to a Bloggers conference in Boston, which makes me happy too. (My first conference.) Enjoy!

I have been so busy with work lately too (hence the catching up on blog reading on a Saturday night!), but this is a nice reminder to take a breather now & then. :) Love the cute little herb garden and I'm so excited for you about the conference! You are going to have an amazing time & I bet you will learn a lot and meet so many great people!

This is so awesome about the conference, I am really happy for you guys.
Love your gardening kit, too!
OH, I just realized as I was typing it, my email was up and down all week last week. I wonder if my invitation email disappeared in the black hole :)
