52 Weeks of Happiness Week 14

A lot of joy this past week:

The END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR!!! Major time with my baby!!! New Orleans trip!!

For this week, it's a simple entry into the 52 Weeks project. I enjoyed my time in New Orleans, but I was sick with a cold and tremendously exhausted from the last week of school. The best part about this trip? I really got to play with pictures and photography like I never have before in this city. And they weren't too complicated. Just Hipstamatic and a good eye. That city is just screaming for its picture to be made, so I obliged.

On day 2, good girl friend Shannon and I went into the famous St. Louis Cathedral. I think it's completely wonderful. Serene. Often a nice cool place to go when walking in the Quarter. It was great to take a moment while our boys were at Pat O'Briens yet again.

This was my favorite pic of my "artsy" ones. THIS made me happy!



It just brings such happiness to find great things that need their picture taken, and boy did I have fun!

Leigh Vs. Laundry's Happiness Project

It is definitely time for this undertaking...a happiness project. This book has just come into my life, and this blog, which I have been reading on and off for a while now, has had a year of her own happiness project. The two are unrelated. I have always wanted to join in, but honestly didn't because you link up with her, and my other family blog is private. BUT...this one is not.

So, first, go here. Leigh's blog is full of awesomeness. Her Happiness Project (see button below) was a 52 week long project which began last March. She took it upon herself to take a photo weekly of the little things that make her glad, smile, laugh, etc. It was a way for her to be held accountable for remembering the happy things. I found her through my friend Erin Margolin, whom I know from college and who writes and blogs beautifully here.

If you read the above post, you learned that a new challenge has been posted. The Happiness Project is now the "52 Weeks of Happiness." Which I love. It implies that there WILL BE happiness throughout these 52 weeks! She has a new button like above for the change in project name, but hasn't posted the html code yet. When she does I'll link up!!

So stay tuned for the first weekly installment.
