A new year challenge - 100 happy days!

Happy new year to you!  I can't quite believe it but Rebecca Bakes Cakes is now into it's 4th year of existence.  When I wrote my first post back in January 2010 (it was a recipe for Spiced Apple Muffins if you were wondering?) I wasn't quite sure what to expect from it & although I've been a little lax in writing over the last 12 months, I feel quite proud.  It's really nice to look back over the posts, each one reminds me a little of what I was up to at that point in time!  And a lot has changed over the last few years, I've been through a number of jobs, some out of choice some not, we've bought our first house, re-homed a Battersea cat & last but not least got married!  

So it's a new year & without mentioning the dreaded R word, spurred on by a new challenge I made a promise to myself that I would start writing again.  This new challenge isn't cake related this time thankfully (don't think my waistline could take another year of cake!) but related to a topic I have written about in the past, happiness.  Ask yourself.....



100 Happy Days challenges you to do just that, all you have to do is take a photo every day of something that makes you happy & share it making sure you include #100happydays so people can find it.  I love it as an idea, focus on the little things that make you happy & all the boring negative stuff won't seem as bad!

So here's my first happy day captured...

Day 1 - tap class starts again after the holidays

I'll be posting my daily photo on Instagram, click here to follow me & get your daily dose of happiness.  Or why not sign up yourself?  Be great to hear if you take up the challenge too?

If that's not enough happiness for one post, here's a little more before I go, one of my favorite tracks of the moment not least for the fact there are Minions in the video!


I'll be back next time with cake I promise, I'll be sharing my first attempt at a proper decorated kids birthday cake, yikes!  Till next time, Rebecca x
