I’ve been tagged by my fellow South Coaster Mother Inferior to write a list of 50 things that make me happy.
This was such a fun task and if you haven’t already had a go I can highly recommend doing it – don’t wait for a tag! Like the lovely weather we’ve been enjoying in the UK since Easter, listing a few of the things that make you happy is a great morale booster.
So without further ado, here’s my top 50 things that make me happy in no particular order:
1. The feel of clean bed sheets – everyone loves this, right?
2. Warm summer evenings.
3. The smell of cut grass.
5. A toddler free shower – a rarity, but pure gold when it happens.
6. The crunch of fresh snow under foot.
7. Getting big smiles from Tin Box Dog when I arrive home – yes, my dog actually smiles!
8. Watching Tin Box Tot sleep – she’s such a cutie when she’s unconscious 😉
9. The first day of a holiday.
10. Cuddling up with Mr Tin Box in our huge snuggle chair.
11. The smell of wood burning in our chimenea.
12. Watching Mr TB and TBT play.
13. Chocolate – enough said.
14. Clothes shopping – I can’t wait for a bit of this once Tin Box Baby 2 arrives – any day now!
15. That Friday feeling – knowing you have the whole weekend ahead of you.
16. Feeling smug after a good workout – NB. I haven’t felt this in a while.
17. Waking up an hour before the alarm goes off and rolling over for more sleep.
18. Waking up at the weekend, realising that it’s after 7am and the Tot has allowed us a lay in.
19. The fact that Mr TB enjoys cooking so I get away with not doing it most of the time.
20. A clean house – this rarely happens.
21. The new things that TBT learns every day.
22. Blogging – you’ve got to love it, or what’s the point?
23. Making lists and ticking things off.
24. Having a film night at home.
25. The sound of rain on the caravan roof while we are warm and cosy inside.
26. Foot rubs – hint hint Mr TB.
27. Visiting stately homes and gardens.
28. Getting a good 3G signal while we are on our travels.
30. Writing – my number one hobby.
31. Baking, especially triple chocolate brownies.
32. Planning holidays.
34. Christmas dinner – Mr TB cooks a mean turkey.
35. Our heated car seats – I’ve only just stopped using them.
36. Cheese on toast.
37. Re-reading letters Mr TB and I sent each other when he first joined the Royal Navy.
38. Chinese takeaways.
39. When TBD has a ‘puppy moment’ and runs around the dining table like a loon.
40. Early nights.41. The funny faces TBT pulls at herself in the mirror.
42. A good cuppa.
43. Getting back into my pre-maternity clothes – I’m looking forward to this a lot.
44. Watching historical dramas – I love any shenanigans from the Tudor era.
45. Cute text messages from Mr TB while we are a part.
46. My job – it may sound swotty, but I love what I do.
47. Getting lovely comments on my blog.
48. Sitting down with TBT for milk, a biscuit and a cuddle before bed.
49. Eating out.
50. Power naps.

I'm sure you're allowed 51 things – naps have to be included 🙂 x
Thanks for hosting! x
You can't beat a good power nap!! x
It's one of those universal things that keeps the world happy 🙂
Ooh, foot rub while watching a movie – not that sounds like a good idea! 🙂
It does sound like a lot, but you are right. You rattle off 50 things before you realise x
love these 50 things that make me happy posts 🙂 so much happiness and really nice way to reflect on the little things we enjoy in life! Although I realised I missed off naps – I love naps!!!!

In answer to your first question it would appear that yes everyone loves clean sheets, I thing nearly all the 50 things that make me happy posts I've read have contained it lol (My own included).
Love your list! Foot rub is one of my favorites as is family movie night! Stopping by from Let's Talk Mommy Hop!
Great list – I guess when you get going 50 things is quite easy. Its al about the little things – I am with you on the chocolate!! xx
Thanks! I'm hoping for a very contented little lady who allows me to shop. I remember my first time in a changing room with Tin Box Tot was a bit of a disaster – she screamed the place down! 🙂
Fab list – I love the smell of wood burning too – I just don't have a chimney! Hope you enjoy a shopping trip after bubs has arrived!! #mummymonday
I microwaved a coffee this morning. It would almost seem wrong not to have to do that 🙂 x
No probs. Everyone should have a cuppa on their list 🙂 x
Now I've written about cheese on toast, I can't stop eating it! Late pregnancy craving? Hope you have a great holiday – 50 things can wait!! x
Thanks for tagging me. I really enjoyed writing it x
Such a feel good post! Nothing like a good cuppa, microwaved or not 😉

Oh what a great list, I agree with so many, especially a good cuppa. Thanks so much for linking up to #TheList x
Oh I am so with you on cheese on toast. Love it! Thanks for sharing your lovely list – I shall endeavour to join in soon – I'm off on hols tomorrow! xx
Fab list! I didn't realise the arrival of TBT2 was so imminent! Good luck! I definitely agree with number 17 – I love waking before the alarm and getting extra sleep! I also agree with 25, but for me it is usually in a tent rather than a caravan (although given the tent is in a distinct state of poor repair after our camping trip last summer, this may not be the case for long!). Really glad you completed your list – it definitely spreads the happiness reading other people's 50 things! 🙂
