10 Things That Make Me Happy: Hillary Chybinski
What makes you happy? Can you name 10 things that make you happy? Try it! It’s a fun activity and I am thrilled to feature what makes the A Beautiful Ripple Effect community happy :). This guest post is curated by Hillary Chybinski! You can read more about Hillary at the end of this post.
My iPhone
My little connection to the world – whether I’m at home, a PTO meeting or carline, I can check my email, the weather and keep up with my friends. There are shopping Apps and games and even a Gratitude Journal App to help me keep up with one little word for 2010 – Gratitude.
Twitter
I am falling in love with Twitter – it’s like being at a cocktail party or girls night out 24/7 – there is always a friend around when you need one – for parenting advice, shoe advice, everything.
Super Mario Brothers for the Wii
Being able to introduce my children to the first real video game that caught my attention years ago has been fun. It’s good clean family fun that we can enjoy all together in the comfort of our own living room.
iTunes
I’m more of a song person, than an artist person. When a particular song hits me – I need to hear it A LOT. That’s where iTunes is really amazing – it never ceases to amaze me how I can hear a song, love it, grab my iPhone or MacBook and instantly the song is on constant rotation – it’s the soundtrack for my life.
Herbal Essence Tousle Me Gently Shampoo and Conditioner
Besides an enticing name, this product has an amazingly wonderful smell and makes my hair feel touchably soft and bouncy. For years, I blew out my wavy hair straight – and now, I just let loose with some wild curls.
Red Truck Red Wines
I first tried this at a local restaurant- and it was love at first taste. yummy red wine at a reasonable price – even here in PA. Now if only I could find that mini barrel. . .
My children’s laughter
Whether we are telling jokes, playing a game or just hanging out – when I hear my boys laugh, I can’t help but smile. It’s a sound that never gets old.
My MacBook
Being able to blog and tweet and connect with people from anywhere in my house or in the world, is a completely cool concept. And everyone knows, once you go Mac – you never go back.
Blogging
My online soapbox – my place to live out loud – I love my blog because my blog gives me a forum to express my feelings and record my memories and opinions. I love to read the comments that people leave, and I hope that readers enjoy the content and entertainment.
Crafting
Whether I’m working on my scrapbooks, or making a mess with my kids – being able to let my creative side show is a great stress reducer. My library of scrapbooks is a constant reminder of the wonderful memories we are making every single day.

I hope I’m on your list as well!
Hillary,
Love your list! I’m also a scrapbooker, I love photos, journaling, crafting. For me it’s a way of expressing feelings, sharing love with others, processing things for myself, giving a gift to family, all that and more. I’ve most recently been working on a memory book for my father-in-law who passed away last fall. It helps to get through the grief. Thanks for sharing your list!
