Happiness thread *week of 4/10*

A place to post things that make you happy, what you are thankful for, or just to express any form of gratitude! 

I got to have a girl's night last night with 5 of my best friends. With everyone's busy lives, it's rare that we get to see each other often, especially all together. It was such a fun night, full of laughter - exactly what I needed after a bit of an emotionally taxing week. 4 of the 5 are moms & the one that is not had the idea for all the moms to give me one parenting tip that they found helpful. My favorite was, "Do what feels right for you, no matter what others say." Grateful for these friendships!

  • @mrszoess I want to find some local made ones like that! I will have to hit up some farmers markets and local festivals this summer. I end up with just Claussen which I love but there's something about fresh made local pickles!
  • My favorite Kraut was on sale. I hardly ever get it because I hate paying so much for fermented cabbage but its so good!! One day I will attempt to make my own. I'm tackling empanadas tomorrow. fingers crossed I don't screw this up royally.

  • @jillianpardo empanadas are so easy! use sofrito to keep the meat moist!!!! 
  • After I get off work (7:30am) I don't have to work again until friday night. Ahhhh so nice. 
  • We made our baby announcement yesterday and the out pouring love and support was so amazing. Our family and friends are so happy for us and said such wonderful things. It really made us both even more appreciative of the people we have in our lives. And today we get to see our little peanut again.  :)

    The highlight of my weekend:
    I finally found the trick to alleviate my constant nausea; ground unbrewed coffee. For some reason the smell of it almost instantly gets rid of my nausea. My DH laughs when he sees me walking around our apartment with a bag of Freshly ground New England Coffee in my hands... 
    Hey, whatever works!  Glad you found something.  :)

    @CopperBoom86 Major points for DH!! 
  • I love reading all these posts. :)  It makes me happy!

    My happiness this week also stems from friendships.... Since I officially enter 2nd tri this week, 3 of my friends asked if they could officially start planning the baby shower. :)  Asked me for guest list, dates we are available and food preference.  When I told them I didn't want a theme, and wanted pizza + private karaoke room at one of those Korean places--they were all for it.  Let's see if they comply... one of them is super Martha Stewart-ish and was like "are you Ssuuuuuuuure you don't want a theme?"
  • @nataliemaephotography, @Pupatella, @ashleyp625, & @LGW2015 - sorry for the late response, thanks very much for the birthday wishes!
