You all know that I am a firm believer in the fact that happiness is not something that just happens, it’s something we each have to actively seek out. It requires us to put a focus on adding happy things into our lives each and every day. But, I know that this is so easier…

The Happiness Report #26
Hi friends! Welcome to my first Happiness Report of 2014. Coming down off the holidays is always a bit of a bummer, but I’m doing my very best to try and find the silver lining! We had a very, very low key holiday…dare I say it was almost boring? My family wasn’t able to get…
The Happiness Report #25
Happy Sunday, everyone! I’ve been feeling like such a bad blogger because I absolutely know that now is the time I should be doling out gift guide posts and SEO rich cookie and treat recipes, and Christmas crafting ideas but I’m just not feeling it. Honestly, when you are trying to lose weight, creating unnecessary…
The Happiness Report #24
Happy Happiness Report Day, everyone! Are you ready to share in some happy? Let’s do it! First off, my newest coffee mug from Pier 1 is the best, don’t you think? I love this time of year and the beginning of sweater season!
Happiness Report #13 – Affirmation, Music & More
It’s time for another happiness report. I’m going to be honest here… I haven’t had a completely happy time of things lately. I guess I’ve never had a close family member die before, other than a grandparent, and I am surprised at how hard the grief from losing my brother is hitting me. My heart…
The Happiness Report #12 – Iced Coffee, Flowers and Moleskine

The Happiness Report #11 – My Brother Larry
Wow – what a week! Last weekend, my husband and I took our kids to Iowa to spend the week with Grandma and Grandpa. When we arrived home, I collapsed into bed only to be jarred awake a few minutes later by the phone ringing. It was one of my sisters and she told me…
The Happiness Report #10
I hinted to this some earlier in the week, but… My brother has cancer. We found out this week that he has Stage 4 cancer in the form of an inoperable mass pressing against his esophagus. In addition, we were told this evening that his spine is deteriorating, which most likely means cancer has metastasized…
The Happiness Report #9 – Cozi, Cocktails & Instagram
Happy Summertime, everyone! You know the warmer weather makes me especially happy after the harsh winter we’ve had. I thought I’d share a little dose of what’s been making me happy lately.
The Happiness Report #8 – Pinch Me, Plates & Decluttering
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted a happiness report over here. It’s not that I haven’t had things to be happy about…it’s just that I have been so busy with regular life lately to actually sit down and share some things with you all. First off, last week a friend of mine and…
