With the holidays over and winter in full effect (even here in the south!), it’s easy to get caught up in the blah’s of January, so I thought I’d post what was currently making me happy in the hopes you, our fabulous readers, could benefit, as well!
1. Modern Family. If you’re not watching this megahit on abc Wednesday nights at 9, you have no idea what you’re missing. This is, honestly, one of the funniest shows I’ve seen in a long time-it never fails to make me laugh out loud, and shows the downright hilarious side of marriage, parenthood and disfunctional family life, in general. Set your DVR now-I guarantee you’ll love it.
2. My furbaby. Okay, so this one isn’t exactly something that will make you happy, but for those of you with pets, you can definitely relate. There’s just nothing better than coming home at the end of a long day (or after a trip to the mailbox) and finding something so inexplicably, deliriously happy to see you that his head might explode! My little guy, Gunner (in above photo), is my constant companion and never lets me forget the beauty in the little things in life (like a game of fetch or a really good bone).
3. Homemade granola. I take mine with cottage cheese and strawberry yogurt as a mid-morning snack, but I often find myself dipping my fingers in the bag throughout the day, as well! Store-bought granola can’t hold a candle to this recipe, which I posted here. Enjoy!
4. A bottle of Malbec. Do I really need to elaborate on this one? I think not. This is my favorite Malbec-bottoms up!
5. Shop Ruche. This site has some of the most beautiful tops, dresses, sweaters and accessories at unbelievably low prices. I’m always able to find great stuff on sale, too, like this cashmere doman wrap sweater and this adorable one-shoulder romper for spring/summer. I even found a few dresses for my trip to Vegas last November.
