I saw this adorable post on Natasha's blog and thought I would play along. I changed it up a bit instead of answering Cupcakes & Cashmere's 8 Thing Every Happy Woman Should Have - I made up my own!
1. A Dog
Come on - you all knew that would be #1. And I honestly believe it. Dogs have an amazing ability to know exactly what you need. As if you needed even more reasons.
2. Access to water
It can be a beach, lake, river or pond. I feel so much more happy when I am near a body of water. It's the Pisces in me.
3. Family
I am so blessed by my five nephews. They are all such incredible little boys and I am so excited to watch them grow and have a close bond with them.
4. Girlfriends
A girl is not complete without her entourage and mine is pretty amazing. And for all those people who say "I am more of a guy's girl" well you're missing out on some amazing relationships - so go make some girlfriends!
5. Alone time
I love spending time with my husband and girlfriends. However it's always nice to find something you enjoy doing alone. Here are six more good reasons.
6. The ability to laugh
Life is way too short to take it so seriously. There is no better way to spend the dash between your years than by making memories.
7. A passion
Now this is one of those things I didn't quite grasp until later on in life. Yet I am on my way and I thank my little rescue for showing me...
8. A Smile
Less wrinkles and you just look better with one on your face!
Love this!! These are all definitely things that ever woman should have in her life!
ReplyDeleteomg girl love this for some reason i needed this this morning
ReplyDeleteI love that everyone is joining in on this fun post! So fun! Gorgeous wedding shot!
ReplyDeleteThis is fun! Love that you have such a passion for sweet doggies!!! I love them too! And those 5 nephews OMG they are handsome little guys!!!

ReplyDeleteYes, yes & yes to every one! Especially a dog :-)
ReplyDeletealways, koru kate
Love #8!
ReplyDeleteGIRL! i've been MIA for a long time (sad!) but i'm making my way back here and let me tell you -- i feel like we may have the same brain because this post is EXACTLY what i would say! that's why i love you, we're basically the same! haha! hope all is well and i've missed you! xo
ReplyDeleteI love this! So true--such a great list!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you were a Pisces, March 7th right here! That also explains your deep passion for animals, which is my passion as well. Zack and I were talking at dinner last night about how much money we want to start donating to charity every year out of our income and when he asked which one I wanted to give to I instantly said, "Animal Welfare Institute"! Zack was like, yea I don't even know why I asked...haha. Love love love this list, I feel like you're my zodiac soul sister now!

Great post!! I too agree every girl should have a dog. And a rescue at that! I also agree about access to water. I take living by the beach for granted but I couldn't imagine living somewhere where I couldn't hop in my car and be able to see the ocean in minutes. It's calming, relaxing and gorgeous!!
ReplyDeletei think we need the backstory on the fallen bridesmaid! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post lady!! Agree completely with all of these :)) I wish I was closer to the water - it's amazing how relaxed and calm I feel when I'm walking on the beach, even if I was in an awful mood or totally stressed before. Is your nephew pictured second from the left on your husbands side of the family? He looks like him!
ReplyDeletePicture #6 kills me!!
ReplyDeleteI would be miserable without my family and my dog :) Great list!
ReplyDeleteAwww love this!! And I agree...a dog and family are great additions!
ReplyDeletelove this!! I have been BEGGING my husband for a dog!
ReplyDeleteI love this! After seeing it on Cupcakes & Cashmere's link post last week, and her version again this week, I've seen it all over. But I love that you made up your own 8 things! I agree with all of your 8 things, totally necessary to finding happiness!
ReplyDeleteI think these are better than the real list haha. Especially the dog one. I really need to get on that one.
ReplyDeleteLove this list! And I agree, every happy woman needs a dog! ;)
ReplyDeleteXOXO

I love this - especially the access to water. Water makes me so happy too!
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteThis post is so cute! I totally agree with all 8 things! What a fun idea :)
SO TRUE! I wish i had access to water like the ocean that would be neat!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE this! i have all of these!!
ReplyDeleteCan I just go ahead and agree with every single one of these? SO true!!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I love every single one of these!
ReplyDeleteLove them all but "alone time" and "dogs" are my favorites. Spending time alone is highly underrated. And when you do spend time alone, make sure your four-legged buddy is right there with you!
