Already the second week of April, time is just flying by! It seems that the days just go faster and faster and it is so easy to get caught up in our crazy schedules that we tend to forget the simple things in life that make us happy. Joining up with Sarah’s link up though seems like the perfect way to remind myself of all those little things that make me happy. This list is in no particular order, although Azora does deserve a top spot :)

    when you say viking, do you mean his origins are like, viking-related? because that’s hot. i watch the show Vikings and i turned to my husband and told him: we have to go to norway. or where ever vikings are from. and then he replied with “sure, but let’s remember that you’re also married” HAHAHAHAHA!

    I totally relate to some many of the things that make you happy! They make me happy too :) I especially loved your last one - I’m like you, I think it’d be hard just to write a list of 32 things!!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I felt the same way! At first I was worried I wouldn’t be able to think of 32 things but before I knew it I had 32 and then some!

  • http://voyageofthemeemee.com/ Amanda MeeMee

    Azora would’ve been #1 for me, too! And I love that red velvet cupcakes made the cut, too!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Red velvet cupcakes are heavenly!
