Nom-Rating: ***** (5/5)
For Bellwork recently in science class, I had my sixth graders think about the following quotation and make a list of five things that make them happy.
“Happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.”
-Dale Carnegie
The kids did a great job with their lists and I enjoyed hearing about how they like swimming and sunshine, ice cream, family members and not being at school:)
All day long, I found myself thinking about the things that make me happy and, what do you know, I found myself happier despite the fact that I wasn’t actually directly experiencing anything on my list of happiness.
I wasn’t travelling or spending time with Mr. Torres.
I wasn’t eating ice cream or going for an early morning run.
Instead, I was surrounded by crazy sixth graders and a to-do list that could take all year to finish.
Maybe happiness really does depend solely upon what you think…
So take some time today, or tomorrow, or during a blah day to come up with a list of things that make you happy. You won’t regret it!
And while you’re at it, make these energy bites!
They are dee-licious, mostly healthy, super easy and will definitely add to the happiness in your life!
Verdict: I would not be able to claim that very many recipes have actually made as big an impact on my life as these little energy bites have. Mr. Torres and I always, always take snacks with us when traveling and these are now our go to take-alongs. They just fill the bill in so many different ways…easy, cheap, tasty, healthy, customizable (is that a word?), and popable. Everything tastes better when it’s popable!

Well goodness, after reading your verdict, I guess I’ll have to try them!! I’d love another snack idea to take to work with me!
Those look incredible! I’m also a huge fan of your dark colored cutting board. It looks great in the photos!
Thank you! One of my favorite wedding gifts we received! I’m not looking forward to the day it wears out:P
I can’t wait to register!!!
