I am linking up with Courtney at Eat, Pray, Run DC, Cynthia at You Signed Up for What and Mar at Mar on the Run for their weekly linkup. Each Friday, they host a link up — a “Friday Five.” This week’s topic is “5 Things That Make Me Happy.” The only thing that makes me sad is that I can only pick 5!
1. The Husband. We’ve been together since 1998 and married since 2002 and he still cracks me up. We have an amazing life together, but truly enjoy and follow our passions. No matchmaker or algorithm would have picked our match, but it works for us. I am lucky AND happy.
2. Our View. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you may know I am a wee bit obsessed with the view from our apartment. I even wrote a post about my “harmless obsession.”
3. Running and Runners! If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you definitely know that I run and have running to thank for many great experiences and friends. #Thankyourunning. Marathon number 40 is on tap for tomorrow at Grandma’s Marathon, so please wish me luck! (And, cross your fingers that it will not T-storm or be a humid mess!)
4. A Great Deal. Did you know that I started as a “deal blogger”? I was (and am still) that friend. You know, the one who tells you about a killer deal on your running shoes, that hotel you were interested in or any other thing – whether you want to know or not. Check out my post Becoming an Online Shopping Ninja for tips and my Found Links for the best places to look for deals. Have any specific questions or things that you are looking for? Just email me at erica at ericafinds dot com. I will see what I can do!
5. My Finds. Just like running, there is no way to capture all of the amazing finds I have made since I started this blog. The best thing? Working with great small companies like Janji, Peanut Butter & Co, RacePak and meeting founders of companies like Kimberly from Simple Squares, Catherine from Yummari, Amanda from Benefit Foods, Jamie from Super Pop!, Sarah from Chefmade, Jona from Cooked and SO many more. And then there are my Kickstarter finds like Kooee!, Enerchi Bites, Cocomama (giveaway live through 6/22) and Perfect Fuel. I also love when friends tip me off to new products and places and share the love. So keep them coming, please! What is your best recent find? Please share it in the comments.
What makes you happy? Please share in the comments!
Have a great weekend!
PS. Don’t forget my great giveaways!
