Time for my monthly dose of cheer, where I focus on what made me smile recently. A great reminder that no matter what else is going on, there’s always good in there somewhere!
1. A missing-tooth smile. It’s so adorable when they start losing their teeth!
2. Honor Roll and other awesome school accomplishments. Oldest made Honor Roll for the second grading period and the two littles have already met or surpassed the end of year reading benchmarks. Proud mom!
3. Free breakfast. Especially from Chick-fil-a. I love their biscuits and free makes it even better.
4. Valentine’s Day fondue with my boys.
5. How magical my boys think snow is. I’m not a fan of the cold and definitely not of the snow, but I couldn’t help but smile at how enchanted they are by even just a few flakes.
6. A lunch date with my husband while the kids are at school.
7. Cat naps. Even if it’s literally the cat taking one and not me. It’s still sweet to have an animal cuddle up with me.
8. Getting selected as an Aventura Ambassador. Can’t wait to get my outfits from them and share an awesome discount with all of you. (Plus, another ambassadorship that I can’t disclose yet until all the paperwork is signed, but it’s such a perfect fit that it definitely made me smile).
9. Game night with friends. Friends who can make you laugh so hard that it’s amazing you didn’t choke on your drink or spit it out all over the cards on the table.
10. These three. They always make me smile.
What made you smile lately?
It is SO cute when the kids are missing teeth isn’t it? I love the pictures of my kids missing theirs.
My kids. My kids always make me smile. Even when they get into trouble, they make me smile.
Your boys are adorable. And I definitely smiled at my son’s reaction to the snow. He lovessss snow! I also love your cat. Sleeping cats are so awesome.
Great things to smile about! I love Chick-fil-a, i have actually never had their breakfast, think I need to remedy that! Toothless smiles are the best and your boys are so cute. So awesome they are all doing so well in school, definitely something to smile about.
Thanks so much for linking up!
I used to love lunch dates with my husband .. then I got a SAHM job. Yeah for that first tooth!
Congrats on the ambassadorship! Jack is a huge fan of those chic-fil-a breakfast sandwiches and everything tastes better when it’s free.
Awesome things! I love Chick-fil-a. So tasty.
Naps with my cat are the best. It’s like a paperweight for the bed that makes me feel grounded.
Gosh, that made me smile too! How cute!
You had so much to smile about last month! I love the gap tooth smile!
My kids are constantly making me laugh, smile and cry at times, LOL. Such a cute post and cute little one you have!
You will love the clothing from Aventura. They are so well made and as so stylish!
Woo! Honor roll! Great job! These things would definitely make me smile too!
What amazing things to make you smile. For a long time it was me and my boys before my daughter came around, they could and still can always make me smile.
This is such a great post! It’s important to think about the things that make us smile! Today my husband sent the SWEETEST text (something he does less than once a year) and it made my day!!
these are definitely worth smiling about, and what life is all about.
Listening to my sweet two-year-olds sing twinkle twinkle little star or ‘bisty bisty spider’ makes me smile. 🙂
Aww those boys are getting so big! And you make me miss having a cat!
I can see you’ve got a lot to smile about! Those toothy smiles always get me too.
JEEPERS!
I love your kiddos and their smiles!
Thank you for all these reasons to smile…cause I’m grinning right now too.
XO
What beautiful kiddos! Congrats on being Ambassador, how fun! My kids always have me smiling! So did this post!
It is so funny how cute little kids look adorable with missing teeth! Add a few years on and then it is not so cute anymore as an adult lol!
so great to have things to be happy about. And who wouldn’t be happy surrounded by those handsome guys?
Congrats to you. awesome reasons to smile/
those are def things that make people smile. my kids were always so happy when they lost a tooth.
Family,and friends gave me many smiles this past week. Plus, a couple of books I read were really funny!
Those three make me smile too, and they’re not even mine. #happybabies 🙂
I like your list, and I didn’t know Chick Fil A had biscuits!
So many smiles here. You got to love the toothless grins. I love your stretched out kitty pic. Happy animals give me tons of smiles.
Oh man, that last photo, how’d they get so big. (I know, same was as mine, but still!) These definitely made me smile! 😀
Your boys are so grown already!
Congratulations on your new ambassadorships.
My favorite reason to smile is the missing tooth. My daughter is loosing teeth a lot these days and it’s adorable.
