    1. What song makes you happy when you hear it?

    Right now, "Rumor Has It," since DD and I always dance and sing to that song.  She just loves Adele.  I guess there are a ton, though; I'm a pretty sentimental person.  Lots of songs from the past have happy associations.

    2. What's your comfort TV show - you watch it to feel better?

    This is probably strange, but Mad Men always puts me in a good mood, because it is SO good, even though the characters are miserable 90% of the time.  I like watching Friends when I can catch it.  The one I look forward to most every week is Parks & Recreation.  LOVE it.

    3. What's your favorite comfort food?

    Hot chocolate; cookies and milk; corn on the cob if it's very fresh and super sweet.

    4. Do you have a "comfort" book that you read periodically? If so, what is it?

    When I was younger, I would re-read The Little Princess, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Westing Game once a year each.  Now, Jane Austen is always wonderful.  Also anything by Tolstoy.  Alice Munro, too.  I own all her story collections and will occasionally dip back into them.  I wish I had more time (or any time) for re-reading.

    5. What smells (however random) make you happy?

    Fir trees, my daughter's skin, also her shampoo.  My favorite moisturizer (which DH uses too).  The smell of the ocean.

    6. In your life today, right now, would you say you are happy?

    Yes, very happy but also extremely moody depending on the day.

    1. What song makes you happy when you hear it?

    Oh gosh there's so many!  I love music and use it whenever I need to get to my happy place LOL The first song that comes to mind is Put Your Records on by Corrine Bailey Rae

    2. What's your comfort TV show - you watch it to feel better?

    depends on why i'm feeling down... I guess something like Extreme Home Makeover? although I never watch it. Crap TV usually works- like E! news or a reality show

    3. What's your favorite comfort food?

    Bread. I could eat a loaf of fresh bread if it's good- no butter or anything- just the bread.  I am a carb freak.

    4. Do you have a "comfort" book that you read periodically? If so, what is it?

    The only book i've read multiple times (other than kids books) is The Last Lecture. It's half depressing/ half feel-good.

    5. What smells (however random) make you happy?

    I love smells as much as I love music.  All the typical ones, I guess... freshly bathed baby, summer rain, yummy sweets baking... my weird ones are dogs paws- I swear there's a particular smell of the paw pads- especially on a puppy. It doesn't even smell "good" really, but it smells like cute puppies to me. And saw dust.  I'm a nut for renovating haha

    6. In your life today, right now, would you say you are happy?

    absolutely, undoubtedly, 100%

    1. What song makes you happy when you hear it?

    Jason Mraz's I'm Yours.  So cheesy.  I had just discovered that song a week before DD was born.  So the day before she was born, I was laboring at home on my exercise ball, at the computer, listening to it on repeat, while DH was at work.  That day is forever ingrained in my head and that song brings back such a great time in my life.   

     

    2. What's your comfort TV show - you watch it to feel better?

    Friends, The Little Couple, Oprah (yep! I'm for real)

     

    3. What's your favorite comfort food?

    mac and cheese, fried okra, pinto beans and cornbread

     

    4. Do you have a "comfort" book that you read periodically? If so, what is it?

    Eat Pray Love, To Kill A Mockingbird 

     

    5. What smells (however random) make you happy?

    REAL outdoorsy smells - real sage, lavender, woods/mountains, the smell before a storm - I don't like any of these when in candle form though. 

     

    6. In your life today, right now, would you say you are happy?

    Happier than I ever knew was possible.  My life is damn near perfect, and I am a really, really lucky person to have all that I have (and I'm not talking material possessions).

    Have you head his version with Elmo?  It's P's favorite song!  LOL

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrqF7yD10Bo

    It was also my friends wedding song (the real version) and makes me very happy too! And I love that you specified that the candle smells are not the same as the REAL smells. SO true.

    I know the puppy paw pad smell you are talking about. I love it too! I think it somewhat smells like fritos (which oddly I don't like) but they do have a strange comfort factor!

    4. Do you have a "comfort" book that you read periodically? If so, what is it? No

     

    5. What smells (however random) make you happy? That pine, Christmas tree scent.  It smells like Christmas and brings me straight back to my childhood every time.  I adore that smell and have purchased many a candle in that scent!

     

    6. In your life today, right now, would you say you are happy? Yes.  I have great days with the kids and bad days but we are finally at a place where the good days outweigh the bad.  (most days weren't good days when they were 2u2)
