11 Things that never fail to make me smile

Life has been a bit hectic and stressful lately, so I’ve been trying to cheer myself up a bit by making a little list of things that never fail to make me smile…

Walking on brick pavements when the bricks are a bit loose and the click and clack as you walk over them
Seeing people almost fall or trip and then glare back at the pavement where they tripped up in annoyance/anger
When one of my kids hugs the other one without prompting, or when they curl up on the sofa together
Seeing elderly couples holding outs when they’re walking together
Seeing another parent struggle with their small kid who wants to get to the magazines/kinder eggs/sweet aisle in the shop (not because I’m a cow but because I have been there and will be there again in the near future- my son is a major tantrum thrower)
Looking at Athena & Arlo’s eye lashes. They’re just so long!
Hearing any of our wedding songs; Mr Blue Sky by E.L.O (was the song we walked out of church to), Muse’s ‘Feeling Good’ (our first dance) or God Only Knows by the Beach Boys (the song I walked into church to) on the radio or in a shop
When I get winged eyeliner even on both eyes first go, it’s rare!
When there is nothing in the washing basket, again super rare
Smelling a wood fire
When someone waves to my kids from the train when we’re waiting to cross at the level crossing gates
