50 Things That Make Me Happy

Lately, I've found myself saying I miss how things were two years ago or how much less stressful things were in the past. My husband is always telling me "These are the best moments of our lives." I know it's true, but sometimes with everything going on in our day to day lives, it's easy to forget. For that exact reason, I decided to join up to Percy and Grace and list 50 things that make me happy. I'm also including pictures for many of my favorite things.
