The one thing that truly makes me happy is being with my two adorable children. You never know what they will say or do. They both are in school one is in 1st grade and the other kindergarten. They are learning so much that is is exciting to see them after school to hear what they learned that day. What else can I say? My kids are my world and I don’t know what I would do with out them.
If I were to win the give away I can start a tradition between my daughter & I. I would pass down the necklace to her when she is old enough and hopefully she could do that one day with her daughter.

Alrighty, one of the many things that make me truly happy is moments like this morning when I woke up at 6:30am after falling asleep with my almost 14 month old in his crib! Yes, I am admitting I crawled in his crib at 3:30am because I was so tired and all he wanted was for me to get in and snuggle him. So silly I know, but the sun was coming in through the blinds in this beautiful orange glow and I had to laugh at the absurdity of a full grown Mama snuggled up with her little guy in a tiny space. He was hugging me and as I crawled out of the crib I literally thanked God (in a whisper) for my many blessings particularly this little man who has changed my life forever!

Oh Lis, you probably know the things that make me happy. To narrow it down, I will say my family and my God. I am so thankful for a husband that is loves me so much even though I don’t deserve some/many times and that he works so hard for us. My kids make me very happy-Jackson’s entertaining conversations and unending love; Ellie’s excitablity and love of girliness; Lincoln’s melt-your-heart smile and sweet disposition. I love coming from a large family and for the great memories our awesome parents have provided. Finally I am so happy to have an amazing God that provides all of this for me and that provides an even happier place for me after this life.

Well, besides the obvious – and you know what and who I mean – my family and the Lord…one thing that makes me smile (almost every day) is reading your blog! And I say almost every day because some days you don’t post new stuff…but then again, sometimes the day-old stuff makes me smile two days in a row! Yay!
love you Liss!
(I just wanted to comment but don’t include me in the giveaway.)
Caroline says
Having a hot cup of coffee in the morning makes me smile:) I also love to watch old home videos and laugh so hard I almost pee my pants!
Caroline says
I don’t want the necklace I just wanted to say what makes me happy:)

One thing that I absolutely love about my life is having a daughter who is a wonderful mother. Seeing your daughter so happy and comfortable being a great mom to your grandchild has got to be one of God’s greatest blessings!

Things that make me smile…I’ll start with Jude his good night kisses, these remind me that life is good and each and everyday has the promise of a new beginning. His sweet little voice telling me that when we wake up we’ll watch Tom & Jerry. Then there is Hailey who gives me her precious one tooth smile and all I can think is “Lord what is she up to now?” And then there is Hannah, her sweet smile and beautiful blue eyes that tell me ” I believe in you mom.” No matter how crazy my life has become I have three smiles that get me through my day and I know that I will be alright. To top it all off I come from this amazing family that reminds me that I am never alone and that I am loved. What a blessing to be a part of such a wonderful group of people.
Mom says
This makes me smile… when a “Lady Gaga” song starts to play and all my grandkids eyes light up and the “DANCING” starts!!
I love watching their little dance personalites unfold.
Who would have thought that Lady Gaga would make Mary Carol smile…
Niki Wieman says
There are lots of things in this life that make me happy, but right now its the time of season when the mc rib is back…nothing like “meat” shaped into rib form with bbq sauce, pickles and onions. I look forward to this time of year and it truely makes me happy.

Ok.. we have made up a novena to my great aunt, Sister Bernita. She was always so faithful and we have this family history she wrote up for the Poepsel’s (my mom’s side of the family). You can tell from a very young age that Sister Bernita loved Jesus. So when Ashley was diagnosed with cancer, I was determined we would get a miracle, and determined to make Sister Bernita a saint. The last line of the novena is “in return for this great favor we promise to live our lives as you did here on earth”. Well, we now are constantly reminded each other when we are not acting like Sister Bernita. For example…if we are in a bad mood it’s “Sister Bernita wouldn’t act like that”. If I drink more than a couple beers….”would Sister Bernita drink that many beers?”, if we curse…”Sister Bernita wouldn’t say that…” Not only does it remind us how to walk in God’s light, but it also provides us humor as we deal with this horrible disease.
Tanya says
Barb – I want you to know that I have 54 second graders that have been praying their little hearts out and sending Ashely all of their positive energy. Your family has been in my family’s prayers nightly. The girls and I believe in the power of prayer. God Bless! Tanya
Sara says
I can’t take the necklace but I have lots of things that make me happy! I’m going to bypass the obvious which is the people I love. A few things that make me happy are my “favorite” song coming on the radio which is about every third song. Listening in on children’s deep conversations such as “Mylie Cyrus doesn’t know she is Hannah Montana” Food in general and the Food Network. Couch time with Bella and Ryan! My parents backyard! Saturdays!
