Do More Of What Makes You Happy

I came across this image the other day which got me thinking what does make me happy.

Well after having a hellish week last week I want to make this a better one.

Starting with Ollie so he doesn't play me up I decided to get him to decorate biscuits as he hasn't done that. It was fun and made me smile to see him happy.

What makes me happy well I like making things so I made another christmas decoration.

I also love photos and I am starting to put  photobooks together of family days out so we can concentrate on good memories. 

I do love when both boys are asleep and hubby and I can sit on the sofa with some wine, chocolate and a good film.

I seem to get a kick out of sorting stuff, selling it and just being organised.

What else makes me happy urm! Well I'm happy when I get quiet either that's when the boys are napping or the noisy neighbours are out (neither happens often). 

It's funny when I think of the things I used to feel happy about like buying new clothes, Booking my next holiday /trip away (not something I can do now), Days off work, Friday's where bliss. How life can change.

Things That Make Me Smile

As last week wasn't a great week for us at all with illness I thought I would write a post about things that make me smile, here they are in pictures.

His smile makes me smile

Ollie makes me smile every day, he can be a menace and very testing with my patience at times but he's a very funny and loving little boy.

Panda in the ball pit

Ollie loves his panda and for the past week panda has had to come down stairs and sit in the ball pit every morning so I had to capture this. Panda also has to go to bed with him every night.

Bright Eyes

Joel makes me smile especially when he gazes up to me during or after a feed and has a happy little face with his bright blue eyes. He's so innocent he can't help but make me smile. 

 
When I think about my little family I have created I can't help but smile.

Day 5: 10 Songs You Love Right Now

Day 5 of the 31 day blog challenge and a much happier post today - 10 songs you love right now.......These tunes I love, lift me up and make me feel great about the world around me.

1. Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition: My number one tune at the moment. This makes me feel incredibly FREE, I imagine myself in an ultra green field, sun shining and i'm dancing like I have no worries or cares.
2. The XX - VCR: I keep playing this on the way to work at the moment I just love it.
3. SBTRKT - Right things to do: I play this ultra loud in the car the beat is fab. 
4. Adele - Set Fire To The Rain: Another one I listen to on the way to work. This makes me wish I could sing.       
5. Florence and the Machine - Rabbit Heart: I like to play this loudly so I can dance around the room it's so powerful.
6. Take That - Greatest Day: I always feel emotional when I listen to this but in a good way, I think of happy times. This was my first dance at my wedding.
7. Unkle - In A State: This has to be loud, very striking track.
8. Eric Prydz - Pjanoo: Another feel good tune as it reminds me of my holiday in Ibiza a few years back, good times.
9. Reflekt - Need to Feel Loved: An all time favourite of mine that I still keep listening to over and over.
10. Jamie Woon - Lady Luck: A favourite wind down track to tap your foot too.     

I enjoyed writing this post, when you do something like this it reminds you how important music is as it can change your mood dramatically. My Number one tune is a track I play everyday driving to work to put me in a happier mood before the working day starts.
