Little Happies -- Fashion Show, Watching Movies, Eating Junk, and a Dog Fail

Why, helllloooooo! And welcome back to Little Happies, the most cheerful internet link-up in which we share all the small joyful things going on in our days. Would you care to join us? :)

Let's dive right in... --one--

I got another Stitch Fix! 
Striped dress, maxi skirt, floral blouse, teal dress, and gold collar necklace.
And I kept . . .
The teal dress!!! I know it doesn't look that great in the pic, but trust me when I say it's awesome. The draping in the front is a lot of fun and it looks great with a pair of boots. Plus, it gives me plenty of room for the belly to expand, whereas the other pieces I really liked (the striped dress and maxi skirt) didn't. And that floral blouse. My husband really disliked it and I thought it was a bit baggy, so bye bye! Oh, and the necklace. It was so hard to part with, but in the end it didn't seem worth it for $36. 
Also, another reason I didn't keep the striped dress: I found one similar at Target for $12 the day before I sent the Fix back. And actually, it fit even better that the Stitch Fix one! Winning. 
Btw, the day I found out I was pregnant, I noticed Stitch Fix now has an "I'm pregnant" checkbox on their style profile, so I'm going to try that out for the next few months and hope they can accommodate my expanding waistline. We shall see!

Excuse my language, but . . . 

Harry Freaking Potter!!

Once a year, right around J.K. Rowling's and Harry Potter's birthday (July 31st, duh!), John and I start a Harry Potter movie marathon. It's taken us a while to get through them all this time around, but we're on the last movie now and it's just been so fun hanging out with some of my favorite characters again. Watching them grow from movie to movie is adorbs. And now that we're watching all of them for like the 10th time since they first came out, it's given us a chance to really appreciate some of the smaller details, like the gorgeous, eerie music and the beautiful cinematography of each scene. 

Fun fact: The last movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, came out the night before our wedding. While I really wanted to see it after our rehearsal, John thought this plan was (obviously) crazy, so we held off a few days and enjoyed it during our honeymoon in Aruba. Good times.

Who else out there is a HP fan?

Ok, don't judge, but in my early post-college years, I was a bit of a freezer meal junkie. 

I know, I know, I know. . . so gross. But, it was cheap and easy and some of the meals were dang tasty. As time went on, I figured out how to follow a recipe and quickly learned that fresh cooked meals are way yummier than the ones hanging out in the freezer aisle of Kroger. So freezer meals were done-so from then on.

That is, until I started growing another human. 

Me and food are in a weird relationship right now. I definitely don't like most foods at most times and mild nausea is a pretty normal thing these days. Plus, I'm lazy/tired as can be and don't want to spend even 30 minutes in the kitchen putting together a meal that I probably won't even want to eat once I'm done. SO, freezer meals have made an appearance in our kitchen once again. (So sorry, John.)

My past addiction taught me that Smart Ones breakfast quesadillas are where it's at. So, it was the first freezer meal I looked for. You can imagine my immense sadness when they were no where to be found at Kroger. Wahhhhhhhhh. And then you can imagine my immense joy when I found them at Target a few days later. I'm not going to admit how many I've eaten since then, but they've hit the spot lately and for that I'm grateful.

Ok, call me immature, but this made me laugh a lot. 
Annnnnnd that's a wrap!

Have a lovely week, friends! <3

Little Happies -- From Around the Internet

 





Have I got a bunch of happies for you today! I've collected some of my favorite giggle-enducing, smile-causing, joy-filling goodies from around the interworld over the past few weeks, and now I share them with all of you, in hopes of making you giggle, smile, and joyful, just like me. 

--one--

Our first stop on our around-the-internet Happy tour is actually not that far away. If you head on over to the Ecce Fiat blog, you'll see a Scripture verse from March 3rd's morning prayer out of the Magnificat. As Ecce Fiat said, it makes a great motto for this Little Happies link up. Check it out...

They are happy, whose strength is in you,

in whose hearts are the road to Zion.

As they go through the Bitter Valley

they make it a place of springs,

the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

Psalm 84

Ahh! Scriptural perfection. :)

Our next stop is over on the good ol' YouTube. It's the music video to my favorite "put this on and dance 'til you feel better" song -- "Happy" by Pharrell. It melts my cares away every time I hear it. And I think it also makes for a great theme song for this Little Happies link up. What do you think?

A Scripture verse and a theme song all in one week! Love!

And perhaps the Cookie Monster could be our mascot? I take you now to the GIF corner of the internet, where I found the happiest and most hilarious GIF ever created! COOKIES?!? Nom nom nom nom nom nom.

--four--

This wouldn't be a proper internet tour without an internet quiz. I give you my new favorite: Which Saint Are You Most Like? The results make me happy every time. Check it out for yourself and tell me which saint you get! ;)

--five--



We continue our tour in Meme Country, where many giggles and occasional sass are often found. Babyless life can be lame sometimes, but cute babies, like this Business Baby, keep us cheerful as we patiently wait our turn.

Warning: Foul language and a little bit of inappropriateness will be found upon link clickage.

As our Little Happy internet tour draws to a close, we stop at our final destination, RUSSIA!, for a more humorous and less glamorous looks at Olympic figure skating. Fast cameras + high speed spinning = this comedic gold. Enjoy!



PS - I hope you'll join us for this second-ever Little Happies link-up! If you'd like to know more about our Little Happies and how they started, click here or here.

Also, I'm sorry my link-up isn't as cool this time around. Turns out you can only have thumbnails (AKA cute little pics along with your links) on your first link-up. After that, it's $20 a year to have thumbnails. Which I'm thinking isn't exactly worth it. But maybe it is worth it if I'm going to be doing this every week? Hrmmmm. Anyway, for now, we're just gonna go old school and have a plain old list of links. Boring, I know, but once you clickity click on others' Little Happies links, boring no more will it be! Go see what fun they're having over on their little bloggies. I promise you won't be disappointed!
