10 Things to Smile About {April 2015} #10Things
Can you believe April is almost over? (I know. I say this every month. Time flies, yo.) Let’s focus on the things that made me happy…
1. I didn’t get sick this month. The rest of my family can’t say the same thing, but I somehow made it to the end of April unscathed.
2. We visited Florida. It was sunny and warm. (Sadly, two out of the three of us were sick at some point of our trip. We’ve all lived to tell about it, though!)
3. We spent a beautiful morning at Biltmore looking at flowers. After several hectic weeks, it was a nice break. (And, if you’re interested in visiting in the next year, be sure to enter my giveaway!)
4. I cut my 5k time by over 2 minutes in less than a month AND I placed 3rd in my age group! That’s my second time placing in a 5k this year (and in the history of running these types of races. I rarely placed when I was in high school and college.)
5. The ice cream truck comes by often, and we’ve already had two or three treats – and it’s only April.
6. We went to Chuggington Live! My son loved it, and I think it re-fueled his love of trains.
7. I’ve been reading. A lot. And not blogging about every book I’ve read (because I just move onto the next book!) I’m not watching a ton of television, and I wonder if I’ll ever get bored reading…but that hasn’t happened yet.
8. I started focusing on NOT being busy. It’s helping a bit with my sanity.
9. Cupcakes make me happy. We’ve had a lot of cupcakes at work this month.
10. OH and I did a mini-Easter egg hunt for my boy in my mom’s yard. He had a blast!
What made you smile this month?
What a fun month! (Minus the sick part, of course.) Crazy you’ve already had ice cream trucks. No such luck here yet, but I’m sure my son will be running for the door with quarters jangling in his pockets the moment he hears that tell tale music.
I was just talking to my cousin about the Biltmore Estate. It’s on my bucket list of places to visit 🙂
i’d like a peek at your reading list. i’m always looking for new ideas!
What a fun month! I’d definitely be smiling if I could see those flowers and breath in the scents!
Sounds like a super fun month! Lots to smile about that is absolutely for sure! How fun
So awesome about your run time and placement. I am such a slow runner. I think every little boy goes through a train stage. I think cupcakes make everyone happy, especially when other people are making them for you 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up!
Ohh, Florida sounds like fun! Too bad y’all were sick during the trip though!
That is definitely a list to make one happy. The flowers are beautiful!
What nice memories! I have had a bad month, so hoping next month is a happy one.
I was hoping to make it to Biltmore myself this spring, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. I’m glad you avoided getting sick!
I love April. It’s still spring weather in Texas – way before sweltering temps and mosquitoes. Also I love April because my daughters birthday falls on the first
What beautiful pictures, glad you avoided getting sick because I surely didn’t! Been so sick the past few days 🙁
Congrats on the 5k time, two minutes is a great accomplishment. Your cupcakes this month looked amazing and the ice cream truck, yum! I’ve read two books this month too, I love to read.
I like this. 10 things to smile about! Cupcakes make me happy, too. 😉
This month seemed to fly buy. I can not believe it is almost over already. It has been a great month for us.
Sounds like a pretty great April. On to May, what’s on tap?
I’m running a half marathon this weekend, working my second graduation, and attending Type-A Summit. May is going to be FULL of good things!
There are definitely a lot of things to smile about! Love this post!
Things that made me smile this month:
1. My family
2. Warmer weather
3. This post
I love this post. I seriously love this post. It made me think hard about what big things happened that made me smile. Thank you so much!
Sounds like you did some great things this month. I feel like all I did was pull out my hair and tried not worry too much.
