She's VERY cute. I am doing the happiness project as a goal this year - look out for my Friday blog post about this.
We lived without a microwave for a couple of weeks last year. Amazingly, you actually get used to not having it. My friend commented and said that she has NO idea how we do it and that she would NEVER be able to cope. Do you know what I said to her? THIS is AFRICA. When

Oh I could not survive without Lucy or a microwave - never!

And yes, when did she get 6? Totally that age type question.

I have been thinking about doing my own happiness project - but not sure.

I love the "fake smile" picture of Kendra! Addison has a very good fake smile too...and those pictures are some of my favorites because she is being silly. : )

I would LOVE to have a housekeeper. I have debated hiring someone to come in at least a couple times a month--I would pay for it out of my teaching check, so I feel like I would be "earning" it--but I'

You know what? No one is spoiled with a microwave. In today's life, this is a necessity for any working woman.

I wouldn't cope without my nanny/maid - honestly I would go insane.

Right now I am not so happy - just found my bin outside covered in maggots :-/

Ditto to the binder clips! I also hate the lack of amazon and a variety of other "inconveniences" found in SA. I'm such a Negative Nancy. Although it just might be worth it for a maid!!!

I'm in for a project. I could use the me-time.

My small bit of happiness for the day- waking up to untouched snow. It wasn't a lot, and soon someone drove past, but

Those pictures of K cracked me up! For the record, I didn't recognize the first as a "fake" smile...until I read that, I just thought it was precious! :)

And I've been thinking about something MandyH has said...how in the world can you live in Africa with no binder rings (and I can't remember what else she listed). I would like to add canned biscuit dough to

I couldn;t survive without my microwave either...they make black ones here in Canada?!?!?!

Anywho, that baby girl of yours is ADORABLE!!! A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.

What made me happy today? Celebrating Ave & Bryce's "best friends" 2nd Birthday. I met their mother in our prenatal classes and we have all been friends since...they are only 8 days older than Ave &

The happiness project sounds like an interesting project - might just join you :-).

Yes it is rather tough without having help around and for most of it I cope really well and you do get used to it, but when Bianca was sick really struggled so we had an au pair who lived with us. And she was brilliant!!!

We have a black microwave :-) So maybe we haven't quite caught
