here’s to happiness {by caroline}

October 6th 2011

10 things that make caroline terribly happy:
  1. pumpkin in everything- pies, lattes, soups & cookies
  2. hearing my favorite song come on the radio
  3. the smell of freshly cut grass and freshly squeezed lemons
  4. reading a book that leaves a lasting impression
  5. bins of fresh flowers at the farmers market
  6. having a reason to wear my new trench coat and rain boots
  7. splashing around in said trench coast and rain boots
  8. being greeted by my husband after a long day’s work
  9. the feeling of the wind in your hair while riding a bike
  10. knowing that my favorite holidays are just around the corner

  38. I SO agree with number 10! I am dying for Christmas to come back around. I'll get to go home for the first time in a year and a half (I'm in the military and haven't gotten to go home for quite awhile). Thanks for your happy lists!

  39. this makes me want some red rain boots just like when I was a kid… It also makes me want christmas to come faster cause the best presents always come in overstuffed red stockings :)

  40. Love 4, 5 and 8. Cute little drawings!

  41. any excuse to wear rain boots! i'm buying a new pair before we get a good snow this winter.

    we're not usually an area that gets a ton of snow but we've had a major snowfall two years in a row now, so i'll finally be prepared this time!

  42. Love all of this :)
    Really want some little red boots now!
