Little Happies -- We Had an Anniversary! But More Importantly, Who Sells the Best French Fries??

Hi, friends!  And welcome back to Little Happies... the happiest little link-up on the planet, in which we share all the tiny joyful things going on in our lives currently! Now, what could be happier than that?

John and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary this past week. Weee woooo! Go us!

Instead of our usual celebration vacation, we had to stay put this time around. Both of us were working. (Laaaame.) 

To put myself in a more festive mood, I got my nails done all pretty for our date that evening. Since I rarely get my nails done, this was a maj treat and I absolutely enjoyed the stink out of it. Totally digging the glitter accent nail right now.  

After we both wrapped up at work, we went out for the fanciest meal of my life at Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen. Two words I would use to describe the meal are mmmmmm and MMMMMMM!

Happy anniversary, sweet doodle love!

Do you see the heart?

Sometimes you just want french fries. 

And then other times, like last night, you don't just want any french fries. You want the best french fries in town. For me, those can be found at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. 

(Life hack: Tear the bag open like you see above to create a big ol' placemat for your greasy treat.)

Who do you think sells the best french fries around? Don't be shy! My taste buds appreciate your suggestions!

John's been jonesin' for some of these sweet copper mugs for a while, so we went ahead and bought some earlier this week. Custom says you're supposed to drink Moscow Mules out of 'em, which we've been hooked on since the Russian Winter Olympics. Obvi.

The mugs are especially neat because they get suuuuuper cold and all condensationy on the outside while your drink stays icy cold on the inside. It totally changes your drinking experience. For the better.

Even if you don't have these cool mugs, you should still make yourself a Moscow Mule, recipe above. Muddle some blueberries with it for an even tastier adult beverage.

We made pickles!!

But not your traditional pickles. Nope, not a single cucumber in there. Instead, we pickled carrots, red peppers, and cauliflower. The recipe is super easy and the result, super tasty. And the longer they sit, the better they taste! John likes the carrots the best. I totally think the cauliflower wins it. 

Basically, it's my favorite go-to snack right now. Puts a smile on my face every time I open the 'fridge. The mason jar makes me happy too.

(Based off this recipe.)

I was heading back from the farmer's market by myself and was afraid Mr. Watermelon was going to make a run for it. So, I strapped him in. And then I giggled at myself for a solid 5 minutes.

Ahh, it really is the little things, folks!

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I'm addicted to calligraphy.

Helllloooooo, Stephanie!

Welcome to my new hobby! It's the best trick I have right now for keeping my mind off of adoption and boy does it work. I started an online calligraphy course about two weeks ago, so that's where all these mad skillz are coming from. I'm still in the beginner phase, most definitely, but it's getting better each day. And honestly, it's super peaceful. I kinda feel like I'm back in 3rd grade learning cursive, but that's probably the best part. Oh, to be young again. :P


Have a great week, lovelies! Can't wait to see your Little Happies!
