It’s BLISS BITS Wednesday Thursday!

I’m enjoying the slower pace of 2014 after the flurry of the holiday season. We are in a bit of a lull, before the madness of the Sundance Film Festival and multiple guests at the Casa de Howe. What are the things that have been making you smile lately? Here are a few of mine…

Big snow! Windshield view. 

Thanks to Groupon, I enjoyed a little spa day. 

Ina Garten never disappoints. This Greek pastitsio is delicious!

Bye-bye, Big Bertha. 

Some work on our carpet meant the master bathroom looked like this for a day.

Ski run views from a hiking trail.

She likes to help with the dishes.

Shoveling snow is hard! So I made sure the hot tub was accessible. 

Every single day.

I made cookies for a friend!

My little 51-pound lap dog.

Orange clouds. 

Flower power bath bomb!

A beautiful day for a hike.

Date night! Love the dragonfly chopsticks.

Elephant Journal featured my article about the power of words. 

The last of my homemade granola. 

I’m a Wood Rabbit and this is totally accurate. 

The usual napping location while I cook.

Cilantro-lime shrimp! I love my cast iron skillet.

GIADA is in Park City this week. No big deal. (Eeeee!)

I made eggs this morning! I’ll tell you how later this week.

A year ago, the sky was pink… 

…and John was lucky he missed.

Two years ago, my ‘hood in SLC looked like this…

…and mini-Cholula looked like this!

Three years ago, I thought this description of a beer was funny. (I still do.)

Four years ago, Sarah was in town! We went on a date.

And this was the sunrise view from the porch this morning.

You know. Just the usual bliss.
