Happy Things~ Guest:No Biggie!

It's that time of week again! My guest is Kami from No Biggie!

In February, I highlighted some cute mailboxes she made for Valentines.

Her blog is a great go-to for tips and crafts.
We met at the ALT conference in January, and discovered that she is an old high school friend of my brother. We had never met until now, and I'm so glad we did. She is so fun and so talented.

Here are 10 Things that make Kami Happy:

1. That moment when you first lay down to go to bed at night. Knowing that you can relax and think about anything, or nothing at all, and just fall asleep... Ahhh sleep!

2. My little family - I love the nights when we are all home together. I love seeing my husband play and wrestle with our kids; it's the best!

3. Coke Slurpees or "Icees" from Common Cents. They are my favorite!

4. Eating Out: Chin Wah for Chinese, Restaurant Morelia for Mexican, and In N Out for Burgers and Fries - Yum! Now I'm hungry!

5. Thrifting! Oh the things you can find at a thrift store! One of my favorites: Milk Glass!

6. Blogging - I have met some wonderful friends via blogs that I otherwise would have not. A blog is a great way to get to know someone and to find out what they really like and what THEY want to talk about.

7. Julie & Julia the movie - It was my most favorite movie this last year. I identified with it on so many levels: the food, the cooking, the blogging, the infertility of Julia... and the FOOD! I loved it!

8. Left-overs for breakfast - I've never been much for sweet breakfast type foods (ie: pancakes, waffles). Pizza for breakfast?! YUM!

9. My Tivo'd shows - Right Now, The Modern Family is my favorite. I have a thing for Phil Dunphy, he's hilarious!

10. Paper Crafts - Although I'm not a scrapbooker (GASP!), I do love all the awesome paper and tools available, because of scrapbooking.

Thanks Kami! Love your list! Although I totally disagree with you about breakfast food! :)

I love it, especially for dinner. No love? For reals?! Have you ever had crepes? German Pancakes? OK I'm so sharing my German Pancakes recipe with you and then I know you'll change your mind.

Totally agree about the movie Julie and Julia. Loved it!

Happy Friday everyone!

I'm off to celebrate my anniversary in Park City/Midway. Yea!

I love julie and julia! I think it was that movie that inspired me to blog :)
Hey thanks for your comment on my blog,
I totally understand what you mean. I don't know if you read my last post, before the FAB Friday, called Caught Off Balance, but you may find it helpful. I've been feeling the same way and think I've come up with a good plan :)

“A good friend is a

connection to life-

a tie to the past,

a road to the future,

the key to sanity in

a totally insane

world.”

-lois wyse

“It is as we serve, as we take time to express
interest and concern in someone other than
ourselves, that we are more likely to gain a
glimpse of who we really are and what we can
ultimately become.”
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“Another fresh new year is here...
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me

To live each day with zest . . ..
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”

~William Arthur Ward

"Whoever is happy
will make others happy too. "
~ Anne Frank

"There is nothing like staying at
home for real comfort."
-Jane Austen

"The glory is not in never falling,
but in rising every time you fall."
-Chinese Proverb

"In spite of illness, in spite even of
the archenemy of sorrow, one can
remain alive long past the usual
date of disintegration if one is
unafraid of change, insatiable in
intellectual curiosity,interested in
big things, and happy in small ways."
-Edith Wharton, A Backward Glance

"It isn't the great big pleasures that
count the most; it's making a great
deal out of the little ones."
-Jean Webster

"Any adult who spends fifteen
minutes with a child outdoors
finds himself drawn back to
his own childhood, like Alice
falling down the rabbit hole."
-Sharron MacLatchie

"Once you realize that thought is
cause and life experiences is the
effect, then you realize that the
greatest way to change your life
is to change your thinking."
-Marianne Williamson
