    Just curious, what are the simple little things that bring you happiness.  I'm thinking material things or actions more than your family, friends kids or SO.

    For me,

    A good book, hot bubble bath, a nice cup of tea, a walk on a fresh, snowy night.

    How about you?

    @Take The Reins:  Those sound great :)

    The simple things that make me happy are:

    - snow, in any way, shape, or form 

    - breakfast/brunch at a restaurant

    - coffee

    - hotel rooms

    - swimming pools

    - cosy lie-ins with my FI

    @MsGolightly:  There is something really cool about a nice brunch out isn't there.    Especially somewhere nice, it's almost like playing hooky!

    @Take The Reins:  having a nice hot cup of coffee with FI in the morning; my son smiling at me and saying "hi!" like a bright little ray of sunshine when i lift him out of his crib in the morning and after his nap; snuggles from my son, FI, or any one of my fur-kids; CHOCOLATE; not having to cook once in a while...

    Cooking and enjoying the meal I just cooked with a glass of wine. Especially any kind of pasta, I love the moment when I finally sit down and take my first bite and it's like "wow, this is amazing". Wine with a good meal is my favorite,yea, and with a little candlelight.

    And getting in bed for the first time after I have cleaned all the sheets and comforter, especially if the comforter is still a teeny bit warm :)

    Taking a hike with my husband on a beautiful spring or summer day. I love the outdoors, esp during the warm months!

    Phone conversations with my mom. We talk every single day, for hours on the phone & I love it!

    Hearing the birds outside chirping early in the morning. (I LOVE this!) I just want to go outside in my pj's & sip cocoa while listening to them!

    Picnics with my family. My husband, mom, dad & sisters plus myself all get together in the summer at the breaks interstate park. We grill out, eat, hike & go on the paddle boats in the lake. Its so fun & yet so simple.

    Being greeted by my fur babies when I first get home!

    My kindle, we have a special relationship.

    A good run

    Starbux Peppermint Mocha

    Those spring/fall days when I can open all the windows in the house.

    A day or night all to myself where I can do and watch whatever I want. Yet at the same time a perfect night like tonight with my DH where our phones didn't ring, the dogs were quiet, a nice dinner I cooked then he cleaned up and a great movie with candles. That's heaven.

    Pools, I love being under the water. The smell of horse barns which is a mix of wood, leather and horse. Clean sheets, chocolate, ice cream, a good song on the radio and the sun in my face. I could go on.

    My lunch hour ALONE at work, coming home and seeing my pup wagging his tail and spinning in circles out of delight that I'm home, watching my DVR'd shows from the week, grocery shopping when no one is in the store, laughing at the same but ridiculously stupid things with my SO :) Lol. Seriously I think ALL of the simple things in life are the only things that make me truly happy.

    Wedding dresses, rings, centerpieces, invites...it's all LOVELY and amazing, but we all know the simplest and most joyful thing is the love from our SO's.

    Seeing the UPS man arrive at my house (Dh calls him my boyfriend haha)

    My LO's laugh!

    A good pedicure with my sisters or best friend

    An organized/clean house

    Date night's with the hubs

    Spending the night at my parent's cozy, big, perfect house when DH has to work night shift. It's like a vacation away from being an adult when I go over there, I don't have to cook dinner, my son takes a huge long bath and goes to sleep instantly after playing with my dad for hours and I get to stay up talking with my mom and a cup of tea. I might be a little old for this but I love those times.

    that time between going to bed and actually falling asleep - that sort of almost asleep limbo. ..

    my FI's hair when he wakes up.  It sticks out in two little wings on each side of his head

    a string of really good songs on the radio

    lazy weekends

    giant soft pretzels with mustard and a diet Coke

    squirrels

    once a week coffee date with mom (miss those so much)

    Driving down old logging trails up north in the truck with FI.

    A good book.

    That first bit of chill in the air when Autumn starts to roll in and all the amazing colors that come with it.

    Singing a song I love (terribly) at the top of my lungs.

    Musicals.

    A cup of tea.

    The centeredness I feel when out shooting landscapes :)
