1. That fresh, after-bath baby scent.
2. dark chocolate. Really, really dark chocolate.
3. A good night's sleep (with two newborns at home, sleep has become rather elusive).
4. My TV
5. The first sip of coffee in the morning.

Ah. I'm due for a post like this. Thanks. :)

Great question.
1) hearing all 3 of my varmints breathing while they sleep. It makes me melt.
2) Watching the hubby eat a twinkie.
3) Chocolate ganache.
5) I totally agree on the clean sheets.
6) Counting the freckles on my daughter's face.
7) Walking on the beach of an enormous ocean.
8) Mango sorbet.
9) Fleece socks.
10) Peach pie.

Hmmm, I love the feel of a little person hand stroking my arm absentmindedly when I read to them. The gooey look my husband gives me out of the blue sometimes. Fresh sheets. A crackling fire. And friends like you.

Aw, my beautiful girl makes me happy. OK, she actually peed in the bed this morning. So I wasn't happy precisely at *that* moment.

But her little face. Her little nose. Her little eyes. Her little voice.

I guess that's boring though.

Hah, I'm a grouch. Some of the things that make me unadulteratedly happy are not common and everyday--like tropical

Peeps need to ripen? I need to be enlightened. I had no idea.
