Happy 101 Award!

The lovely Maria of A Day in Mar's Shoes gave me an award!  Thank you! Blog awards are sweet and always bring a little smile to your face. If you haven't been reading Maria's blog already; head over to check it out! 

Ok- here's the award rules:

List 10 things that make you happy, try to do at least one of them today, and tag 10 bloggers that brighten your day. For those 10 bloggers who get the award, you then link back to my blog and create your makes you happy list.

10 Things That Make Me Happy:

1. Walks with Dan and our dogs

2. Candlelit dinners

3. New shoes

4. Brunch with good company

5. Baking anything

6. Planning anything (vacation, new project, decor for a room, really anything)

7. Taking photographs

8. Spending time with Dan; be it doing errands, commuting to work together, going to the gym together, watching tv together or whatever it is more fun with him there

9. Quiet moments of reading pretty much anything (a book, a magazine, a blog, the back of a cereal box)

10. Giving (I know that is cliche to list but giving a little something to someone when it is unexpected really does make me happy; be it a box of brownies or something "grander")

Now here are 10 bloggers that brighten my day just by being them!
