{the colors of happiness} Surfing the wave
No no, I haven’t started surfing in the Hudson river – oh I’m sure it would be a blast to swim in all that pollution though No, it’s not this kind of wave I am talking about, but rather the wave of issues and worries. Lately I’ve received loads of great news and it’s been [...]
{the colors of happiness} a flower shop
Image source. Last night my friend sent me a picture of gorgeous peonies growing in her backyard in New Jersey. Meanwhile, none of the flowers I planted with the girls back in March grew. As in zero, nada, rien de rien. Maybe using spoons wasn’t such an effective planting method after all. That, or black [...]
{the colors of happiness} sweet popsicles
The temperature is rising in NYC, and before we know it it’s going to be hotter than we want it. Hot and sticky. Not my favorite time of the year in the city. But at least that’s the perfect excuse to indulge in popsicles….because, let’s face it, I’ll indulge in popsicles ANY TIME of the [...]
{the colors of happiness} sleeping babes
Image source. Sometimes they quietly fall asleep in my arms, their head nestling gently in the crook of my neck. And other times they fight sleeping like it’s their greatest enemy. But when they finally let go and drift off to sleep, it’s like something magical takes place. I don’t think there is anything sweeter [...]
{the colors of happiness} sharing a blanket
Sometimes the most simple things are also the best. My favorite thing to do with hubby isn’t going to a fancy restaurant or doing crazy things like going on a hot air balloon ride – although, let’s not lie, all of these things are nice! My one, very favorite thing is to do it to [...]
{the colors of happiness} pucker up
Image source I don’t know about you, but all this V-day talk makes me want to kiss my hubby and leave a nice red mark on his cheeks. What is it with red lips being so damn sexy? Anyway, I didn’t grow up in a home where you show your affection – my parents sometimes [...]
{the colors of happiness} a little squeeze
Image source Whether or not you have a child of your own, you’ve probably felt your belly tighten when little ones hold your finger with their tiny little hands. That squeeze, that grip, it’s got something so special, doesn’t it? It’s one of my favorite thing, to walk around and feel that little hand in [...]

{the colors of happiness} morning cuddles
Image source. This post is for my friend Clemence over at Oh the Lovely Things, who I know is just crazy about her cats – and all the cuddles they share I’ve never been able to have a pet since moving away from my parents house after high school – let’s not count how many [...]
{the colors of happiness} me time

Sorry I am posting later these days – my schedule has been a bit all over the place since we arrived in Arizona last week…plus I’ve been working very hard on preparing a awesome surprise for you for December – more about that at the end of the week! Anyway, [...]
