Here are three things that make me happy, bring me joy, and keep me positive:

1) Giving blood in a blood drive….before and during: NO! That does not make me happy at all. I really don’t like giving blood. But…after I am done, I am so happy that I have contributed to someone else’s health and happiness.

2) These 5 beauties give me so much joy! They took me out for my birthday to a new restaurant…delicious! And a very needed gift that I would have procrastinated on doing myself!! They are so smart

3) My little cutie in all her glory:

rocking her sunglasses

driving around in her 'ride'

checking out her 'kicks'

:) How's that for a pose??? Ha, Haa!!!

Loving my life….find the happy in yours and enjoy it!!

Happy Parenting!

Wishing to bring joy and happiness to all….

Here are three things that make me happy and bring me joy:

1) having a view from my window with very minimal snow when the entire east coast is engulfed with it

2) finally having a DVR that records 6 shows at a time…it took lots of talking and finagling, but Comcast came through!!

new remote = figuring out new ways of doing things!

3)…. as always, my sweet pea…what a doll face!

And to top things off… The Ellen Degeneres Show was on featuring Elton John… Little one decided to join in!!

hmmm…what's that on TV?

Is he playing the piano??I think I'll join in…I love to play piano

I'm pretty good, right Gramma??

Loving my life…please find the joy in yours!!

Happy Parenting!

Here are three things that bring me joy, make me happy, and encourage the positive side of me:

1) Sunshiny days whether warm or cold, hot or cool…if the day is sunny, I love it!!

2) Boys and girls that are filled with love…fill me with love.

Aren’t they adorable???
