A Happy Birthday


Today is my Birthday, and to celebrate it blog-style, I thought I'd share with you the 36 things that make me the happiest.... (bet you can't guess how old I am today?)

1. My fantastic husband who puts up with my quirkiness, loves and supports me no matter what. I'm a very lucky lady.
2. Willie, Willie, Willie.... everything about my little boy makes me happy. His cackle, his cute little wave, the way his hair smells, how he blows me kisses, his inquisitive nature, and his sweetness. I honestly just can't get enough of that little guy!
3. The rest of my family. I'm so blessed. I not only was born into a fantastic family, but when I married Dan I was very lucky to gain another one. I love them all. My own parents are not only my Mom & Dad...they are also my friends. And as we've grown older, my little brother and I have also grown close.
4. Friends, both old and new.

  1. Have a very Happy Birthday, Christy. Are you celebrating with a Macca Ds Shamrock Shake? What is that? I have in my mind a green milkshake, but what flavour? Lime?
    Are you a fan of Wicked the stage show? I just wondered because of the blog name and the green background?
    Have a brilliant day,
    Zoe xx

  2. Hi Zoe,
    I haven't had a Shamrock Shake yet, but plan on treating myself to one this week. They are indeed a green milkshake that we get at our McDonald's around St Paddy's day. Very yummy! I haven't seen the Wicked stage show (though would love to someday). The blog name was inspired by folks in our American NorthEast (Boston in particular). They sometimes use "wicked" instead of "very". When we went there for a Red Sox game a few years ago, we heard it alot and it stuck with us. Thanks as always for you comments! :)
