If You’re Happy and You Know It…

March 20, 2017 Claire Annette Noland 8 Comments

Today happens to be International Happiness Day as well as the First Day of Spring which means there’s two reasons to celebrate!

 

 

What makes you happy?

 

Time with Thomas makes me happy (I love his spaghetti face):

 

 

Spring make me happy – I love long days when I can take long walks and enjoy everything blooming.

 

 

And, kids books make me happy – here are some especially happy ones picture books which are kid approved:

 

If You’re Happy and You Know It by Annie Kubler

 

Happy in Our Skin by Fran Manushkin (author) and Lauren Tobia (illustrator)

 

Happy by Mies Van Hout

 

 

What makes you happy today?

 

The A to Z Blog Challenge begins in a few weeks. Bloggers post thematically in alphabetical order, every day but Sunday, throughout the month of April.

Today is the Theme Reveal … This year I will share holidays and quirky celebrations from A to Z with books, recipes, and other things that catch my fancy.

Let me know if you are joining the challenge. I’d love to read and share your posts. And, if you have any zany holiday suggestions, let me know!

      When we think about it, the greatest sources of happiness are the simple things.
