We all know that it is the little things that add up to the big things in life. . . so this week a few of the “little” things that are making me happy lately. . . . Enjoy!
My mug from the Winter Carnival Half Marathon – perfect to fit my morning caramel skim latte!
LUNA bars – especially white chocolate macadamia nut – I eat one of these almost every morning for breakfast – LOVE! 
My cardigan from my most recent Stitch Fix – still in love!
My iPad
I got my iPad thru a continuing medical education audiodigest program. Basically, the ability to have access to listen to hundreds of lectures from medical conferences around the world. Which as you can imagine, was sorta spendy (but good for my education). .. anyway, to entice you to buy the program, they offered a “free” iPad with purchase. So, I got one. And I love it. I seriously use it all the time. On the couch, reading blogs. On the treadmill, watching Netflix. In the kitchen, to view recipes online. In the bathroom, to listen to Pandora while I am showering. In the baby’s room, playing music during playtime.
Napping baby
I love my child, but I really love when he takes a long nap. . . anyone who has a little one who is mobile (i.e. into everything and can’t be left alone for one minute because otherwise he is elbows deep into the dogs water dish), knows that nap times are when you get stuff done! I usually use the first nap of the day to try to get in my run. It is a great day when he naps long enough for me to run and shower!
And Happy Birthday Ellie!!! (My sister’s border collie) Make sure Jenny gives you lots of extra treats and belly rubs today. 
What are the little things that are making you happy today???

Cute post! Especially the sleeping baby part
One little thing that makes me thankful is when my dog lets me sleep in! He is usually up bright and early and I can hear his toe nails clicking on the floor – it wakes me up every time!

Yup totally understand! Abby is used to eating a 6am and on weekends she gets a little antsy by 7!
I got to sleep in a bit this morning. Not a lot because I went to a 7am crossfit class, but more than usual because usually I have to walk the dog before leaving. The husband and the dog are both out of town right now, so I got to enjoy some extra sleep

I have wanted to try a crossfit class but we don’t have any places close by!
I just started a couple of weeks ago. It’s fantastic! I’m coming from an endurance background though, so heavy weights are not my forte. I think I was the only person excited that this morning’s workout included 6000m of rowing haha.
