I’ve been challenged by Michelle at Lazy Day Project to make a list of 50 things that make me happy. When I first heard about it, I thought, “Wow! Fifty! That’s a lot!” But when I sat down to do it, I realized it really isn’t that hard to do. So here’s my list of 50 things that make me happy:

1. My children – They are the reason I do so much of what I do. I truly feel blessed to be their mom each and every day.
2. My husband
3. Sunshine
4. Springtime – It’s a signal of my favorite season being just around the corner…
5. Summer
6. Blogging – Even though sometimes I view it as “one more thing” on my plate, I do enjoy working on my blog. In particular, I love it when I have one of those days where I have a bunch of page views.
7. Puzzles – Now that winter (notice winter isn’t on my list!) is on its way, we’ll start doing more puzzles as a family.
8. iPhone games – I know. This one seems silly. But it’s true.
9. Netflix binging
10. Kittens
11. Pizza
12. Bacon – It’s sort of my comfort food.
13. Homeschooling
14. Thunderstorms – The really scary ones that interrupt the soap operas with radar coverage
15. Correct grammar
16. Being able to correct grammar
17. Sunbathing
18. Palm trees
19. Road trips
20. Being able to wear tank tops
21. Cool pens
22. My favorite coffee – I add extra sweet cream to it to make it even sweeter!
23. Card games
24. Dice games – My current favorite is Quixx.
25. Writing
26. Marvel movies
27. This Bongo Cat video – Seriously, watch it.
28. Lee’s Chicken
29. Harry Potter
30. Good pencil sharpeners
31. Vodka and cranberry juice
32. Rock concerts
33. Remote car starter – I really don’t know why I didn’t think of this one as one of the top ten. Best. Christmas. Present. Ever.
34. Christmastime
35. Staples (the store)
36. Using my Plum Paper planner – Prior to this, I had an Erin Condren, which I also loved. (If you want to know how to get a percentage off of either, let me know in the comments.)
37. Happy mail (delivery day for online purchases)
38. Heated car seats
39. Heated steering wheels
40. Mother’s Pizzeria breadsticks – It’s a shame that this isn’t a chain.
41. Culver’s
42. Hot showers
43. Snuggling up in warm blankets
44. Sleep
45. Sunsets
46. Hot tubs
47. Shopping
48. Dogs
49. New haircuts
50. Going to the theater to see movies
