HAPPINESS IS...
The simple things in life!
Right now, LIFE IS GOOD! So I thought I would share with all of my "many" readers some things that make me TOTALLY HAPPY!!
1. GOD...defiantly not a simple thing in my life BUT the most important thing. GOD makes me completely happy ALL OF THE TIME! He is my rock and my savor!
2. Cooper...once again,not a simple thing. But this child is the light of my life. He cracks me up!! And he just melts my heart! He will tell me out of the blue that he loves me. And he says it with meaning. I cannot believe that my boy will be 3 in 3 months!!!
3. Special friends ... New and old ones. A certain new one makes me really happy. Treats me like a queen!
4. Family...no matter the situation , my family is always there for me. And that makes me happy.
5. Ok, now on to my simple things... Coffee in the mornings! I set my timer at night and look forward to a cup every morning! Such a great way to start the day.
6. Compliments... everyone likes compliments! If this is something you aren't use to receiving, it is so nice when you start getting them all the time.
7. A call just to say hello, how's your day?
8. Cuddling on the couch with my snug bug Coop!!
9. Coop saying, " I want that hair momma". When C is tired, he loves to twirl my hair. So sweet!
10. being outdoors! Life is just better outside. It brings a smile to my face. If I could bring my office outside, I would! The sun is a wonderful thing!
11. Thin crust veggie pizza!!!!
12. A glass of red wine with friends
13. Sushi... and lots of it!
14. A big plate of country cooking...notice the last several ones have been about food. I do love food and it surely makes me happy!
15. Long hugs...so nice!
16. Holding hands with a special someone
17. Taking a walk around the neighborhood with my main man Coop!
18. Clean sheets fresh from the dryer
19. The other night after bath time, C and I danced to several songs on WDJC 93.7, before I put him in his bed. Such a special moment that made me so happy.
20. Looking into C's eyes everyday and knowing that he is a part of me. THAT IS PURE HAPPINESS!
LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO LIVE WITHOUT HAPPINESS! So smile and Be happy!! ;-)

MckPancakes Take 1
I have been wanting to try a MckMama Recipe for the longest time. So Friday night, C and I went to Publix to get all the ingredients for MckMama's FAMOUS MckPancakes.Since Coop LOVES pancakes, I thought I would try it. This way I am "sneaking" a banana, yogurt, honey, and FLAX SEED MEAL into his pancakes. I read up on Flax seed and it is suppose to be really healthy for you. But today my friend Jenn told me that it constipates you. Oh Geez, a constipated 2 year old is the last thing I need. But I think that is if you eat A LOT of it. Which we will not.
To get more MckMama's yummy recipes, go to my sidebar and check her out!
I had to substitute peanut butter for the almond butter she says to use. Also I had to use regular veggie oil instead of Flax seed oil. Other than that, it's all MckMama.
Flax seed Meal??? what??
C is always a big helper in the kitchen!
C said, "MMMM"

Not me Monday...
It's that time again to confess all of the things that you most certainly DID NOT DO over the last week. I keep meaning to write all of them down, but I always forget.
First of all, I did not let my 2 year old sit on the counter top NAKED while I cooked dinner the other night. See we are in the middle potty training and Mommy needs to buy some more tiny under ware for C.
Last week, for my birthday, I DID NOT eat cake at 9:30 in the morning. NO, not me!
Last Thursday, my sister in law took C and I out to dinner for my bday at a local Japanese restaurant. As we were leaving, C was looking at the fish, his puffy sticker flew off his shirt and the $1000 fish proceeded to eat it. I DID NOT grab my son and run out the front door! NOT ME!
And on my bday night, Tuesday, I most certainly DID NOT party a bit too hard and try to relive my college days. Well that is a bit of an over exaggeration. But seriously I am 31 now, NOT 21.
Last but not least, on Friday night I put C to bed in his crib and had "mommy" time. Then around 11:30, I MOST CERTAINLY DID NOT go into C's room, get him out his crib was he was sound asleep, and put him into my bed. I just missed him so much for some reason and wanted to be close to my little man. No NOT ME!
Those are just a FEW things that I DID NOT do this past week. If I thought harder, I am sure that I could think of a few more, lol.

NOT ME Monday!
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
First of all a big THANK YOU to MckMama for thinking of such a wonderful way to vent about the things that you most certainly DID NOT do over the past few days :)
First of all, I am most certainly NOT blogging during my work hours! Shhh!
Ok, here we go...
To begin our July 4th festivities, I most certainly DID NOT let my 2 1/2 year old stay up 2 1/2 hours past his bedtime just to see the fireworks on Wednesday. And on that same night, I DID NOT let him eat a mini ice cream sandwich even though he refused to eat his Chick-fil-A nuggets. OH NO NOT ME!
On Saturday, Coop and I went to a neighborhood cookout. After we ate, we went to the pool. Coop with all floatie gear on DID NOT jump in the deep end like the big boys. And I DID NOT freak out the first time! Thank goodness all the adults were in the deep end and jumping in with C to help him out.
Cooper and I DID NOT get home at 8:00 from the pool and I DID NOT just put him right in his jammies and sit on our back porch WITHOUT a bath. NOT ME! And that same night, I DID NOT let my son sleep in my bed. NOT Sunday night either. Nope NOT ME!
Oh, on July 4th, my friend Kate made these mouthwatering chocolate oreo balls, that I most certainly DID NOT eat about 8 of in a 6 hour period. There were just THAT GOOD!!
