Happy Things~Guest: Two Ellie

A few months back, I had a few wonderful women share their favorite things 

or things that made them happy. I kinda became a slacker as I was trying to create 

Modern Palm Boutique, 

however, I am now ready to start the series again. 

I am so excited to have these amazing women share a bit more with us about things that make them happy.

Who better to re-start this series, than 

Paula from Two Ellie. 

Paula is a darling southern girl who has a beautiful family, great taste, an eye for great home decor,

and a warm, friendly personality.  She and her husband are quite the photographers too! Her blog has truly become one of my favorites, so I'm excited to have her share some of her faves with us!

Dream Job: My dream job would be to become a shop owner. Whether it be a home store, bakery, or flower shop wouldn't really matter. Just turning the little open sign every morning would be rather delightful, but to be honest being a stay at home mom is rather perfect too.

Product you can't live without: My number one product must is sunscreen. Right now I am loving Clinique Even Better with SPF.

Favorite Vacation: A trip I will never forget is to the jungles of Ecuador.  We spent time with the tribe and bathed in rivers. Definitely something I never expected myself to do. God is good.

Dream Vacation: My dream vacation is to Italy and/or Greece. To taste the food, see the architecture, to just be part of it all.

Favorite Food: Can't say I have a favorite restaurant or food. I just love to eat.

Favorite TV Show: We do not watch much TV at all. We don't even have cable, but we did have a love for LOST and now Mad Men.

Favorite Movies: I have three favorite movies, The Holiday, It's Complicated, and Something's Gotta Give. They are my feel good movies that I can watch time and time again. Plus the sets are all so gorgeous.

Favorite Treat: My favorite treat hands down is strawberry shortcake. I am not one who really enjoys chocolate.

Favorite Book: My favorites book besides the Bible would be Trail of Crumbs by Kim Sunee.

How do you like to relax? To relax I pick up a pile of magazines curl up on the couch and just get lost in it all. A cup of tea with a spot of honey is the only thing that can make that any better.

5 LOVES... My kiddos, my husband, fresh flowers, clean sheets, and photography.

5 DISLIKES... gossip, hate, a dirty house, oreo cookies, and chocolate cake. 

Thanks Paula! I must say, those are some of my favorite movies as well! The sets are a big reason for my liking them too... sometimes I'll just pause at a house scene and look at how they designed the set/home. Too fun! That is great you were able to go to Ecuador. What an experience! I'd love to hear more about that. I'm always one for an adventure! Loved getting to know you better!
