- A good book
I love nothing more than starting a good book. I love looking forward to reading that next chapter so I can slip into a fictional make believe.
- Something yummy in the cupboard
It is always nice to know there is something delicious and yummy in the cupboard to put a smile on my face (and tummy)
- A nice cup of tea (made my hubby)
Nothing washes away stress better than a hot cup of tea. Especially made by my non tea drinking hubby?! He makes a better cup than me and he doesn't even drink it!
- Some good music
I love music, whether it's the latest chart hits or the soundtrack to Les Miserables. A good tune always perks me up and gets me either singing my heart out or dancing round the kitchen.
- A clean and tidy house
There is something lovely about going to bed at night in a lovely tidy bedroom, it feels so much calmer and peaceful. But it is even better to wake up to a lovely tidy house, I love walking around my house admiring it when it is perfect. But of course having 4children minimises the chance of it staying perfect for long, so i cherish every second lol!
- A lovely bunch of flowers
I love having a fresh bunch of flowers in the house. At moment I have a gorgeous pink bouquet in my lounge and it makes me smile every time I look at it.
- A smile
Whether it's from my four little ones or from my hubby a smile is so infectious that you just can not smile back.
- A hug
If I'm having a hormonal meltdown or something bad has happened a hug from my hubby will dissolve all those feelings and make me feel so much better. Every hug I get from him transports me back to when we first met and I always feel so safe and warm in his arms.
- A good film
I love films, action, adventure, romantic, thriller etc I'll watch anything once and my DVD collection reflects this!
All my lovely friends on twitter always make me smile, from crazy funny tweets to words of comfort. Someone is always there to listen and that is invaluable.
- The sounds of sleeping
I love creeping around my house at night listening to my children sleep away. There is something comforting about hearing them all snoring and snuffling away and watching there little faces so still and peaceful.
What makes you smile? Do you have certain things that make you feel better?
Enjoy your weekends and i hope they make you smile xxxx
aaaw what a lovely idea! I'm going to copy you as I am feeling ribbish after a hard day!
ReplyDeleteThings that make me smile: love,my family,random acts of kindness,dancing,singing,walking by the sea,friendship,... I could go on x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. I smile when I get to work and take on an overwhelming amount of responsibility I never have at home. And then I smile when I get home, and receive the love, attention and unbridled admiration I never get at work!
ReplyDeleteAhhh all of those things make me smile! But most of all, cheesy as it is, when the kids are smiling at you or telling you they love you.
ReplyDeleteThose are all lovely things !
ReplyDeleteWhat a bout a buttered, toasted bagel with that cuppa? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope you are well! xx MM
That's a great list of things to make you happy. The cuppa definitely, though not made by hubby because I want to drink it; and seeing my girl laugh, that always makes me happy.

I've come over from the carnival at CafeBebe - I love your post! I have four children too and your list could just as easily be mine. A smile, a cup of tea, a tidy sitting room, my sleeping babies - all those things make me happy!
