What Makes Mommy Happy

Taking the kids to the pool. They got along so well this afternoon and enjoyed swimming together and sitting in the sun and having a snack after. It was such a peace afternoon. It makes me really excited for summer and spending lots of time at the pool and the beach! Happy kids make for a happy mommy.

 Getting a morning run in on Goleta beach alone was also something that made me very happy this week. I had the place almost entirely to myself! It was perfect weather and I enjoyed some old school Bon Jovi while I ran, it was great!

Like I said all to myself.

The next day I walked out to the bluffs to see if the oil spill had made it's way down to Goleta but it seems it has not. Phew.

And a spontaneous brunch with the girl who makes me feel lucky to be a mom everyday! Everyone knows I do not love the baby stage. I found it very difficult with both my children. But 3 is a very magical age! I love they way her mind works, how sweet her little voice is and how joyful and kind her heart is.

It's a terrible shot but watching Connor sing at Hollister Elementary School's Family Festival also made me a very very happy Mommy!
