I keep thinking of so many things that I want to do...and then I forget to do them. Mommy brain, much? Anyway, I thought I'd jot down 50 happy things that I would like to do within the next year.

ReplyDeleteLove this Heather! So fun to read someone else's list and think about what's on my own. Lol ;)
ReplyDeleteI can maybe help with a few of yours. If you want a wonderful ice coffee recipe go to Pioneer Woman's website ( www.pioneerwoman.com ) and look iced coffee up on her search. She has a really yummy one! ;)
Also, I recommend watching "Bringing up Baby" with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant for a classic movie (if you haven't seen it). I have a thing for Katharine Hepburn anyway. But it is one of my favorites, and I think funniest, movies of all time.
Finally, I just got a yankee candle catalog the other day and they have some really fun Easter looking candles in there that you could see on their website.
Blessings to you Friend! xoxo
I laughed when I saw number 49 - we gave our grand daughter an orchid for her 21st because she is in to plants and gardens and such. It died! I'll go and find her something else that is not living and give her that instead to make up for it. Good luck with yours :)

Hi dear Heather! What a fun and fabulous list! Visiting the daffodil festival would be simply delightful! They are my favorite spring flower :)
ReplyDeleteAnd a recipe based blog...yes, please! I am always on the lookout for yummy recipes.
I had to giggle about you keeping your orchid alive. I have a brown thumb and I have given up trying to grow anything inside....well, outside too :)
Thanks for sharing with Roses of Inspiration. Have a lovely weekend! Hugs!
Super list! I found that most of them were very doable things, which is motivating!
