Welcome to My Happy List!  Mamarazzi is letting me host this *fun* party while she takes her blog in a new direction.  Thanks so, so much, Mamarazzi!!!  She even made me this adorable button, and I love it!

Please share your happy here with me every Tuesday!

I'm so happy to be hosting this linky.  I like to express happiness, gratitude, and small blessings creatively on my blog.

My Happy List

1.  Primroses!  :D  They are such a sweet little flower, and they are making me happy this week.  Notice the sunshine?   We've been long overdue for it. So nice to see the sun streaming through the window.

Don't these sweet little primroses look like the ones on my new blog button Mamarazzi made for me?




2.   Learning new things makes me very happy, and I learned to roast a whole chicken this week.  I must admit that I thought the process would be intimidating, but it wasn't.  The chicken was the most delicious and tender chicken I've ever cooked.  Mr. Art @ Home liked it so much he wants to serve it when we have dinner guests soon.  The pictures were horrible, but trust me...do yourself a favor and try it.  The recipe is here on the blog A Cup of Jo.



3.   I really don't like scary books are movies.  Not really.  But I've been reading Warm Bodies about zombies of all things, and the theme of hope depicted in the book has made me happy.  The movie will be released on February 1st, and I cannot *wait* to go see it.  You can read more about the book in my Literary Friday post.





I've seen some very cute movie posters for Warm Bodies.  These are two of my favorites!


4.   Shanley Belle came home for the holiday.  It was so nice spending some time with her!  HAPPY!


5.   I'm also happy that we're all healthy at the moment.  YAY!  No one looks like the zombie pictured above.




Primroses, health, zombies, chicken, sunshine and children have made me happy this week.  What about you?  Please link-up to My Happy List!

Until next time...

Blessings!

  5. Oh yes I love Primroses Rj. And, yes they do look like the flowers in the sweet button. I love how they look in your MC flower pots too. Great photo with the shadows cast across the table. I am happy today to see the sun after all the rain last week!
    Have a great week.

  10. Oh Ricki Jill, I'm so happy that I figured out the blogger issue with the photos. I don't know if it was happening to you, but I couldn't insert the pictures for awhile. It was so frustrating, but I think I worked it out. The strange thing is it wasn't happening to Jess at all. Love your Happy List, and I'm so glad you got to spend time with Shanley Belle.

  13. I NEED live flowers in the house this time of year. I brought home live Eucalyptus from Trader Joes and the entire house smells wonderful! You didn't convince me on the Zombies...really not my style!

  14. Great reasons to be happy! Your pic of the primroses helped me to identify our 'mystery flowers' growing in the front yard....we've got wild primroses! I don't know why they're blooming in January, but thanks for sharing/helping. :D

    (Also, so thrilled that you like Warm Bodies...I'm very excited to read it and to see the movie!)

  19. I've got to remember this so I can link up to your happy list next Tuesday.

    I am soooo jealous of that sun streaming into your home. Here I go complaining again...it's 9 degrees here right now. Thankfully, it's stopped snowing though. (for this hour anyway)
