Doing the best I can: Confessions of a Christian Mother

I am going to let the facade down a little today. I am going to open my heart (and my business) and pour it out to y'all for the whole world to see, literally.
Being raised a Christian, especially in the South, we are taught there are just some things that are just wrong, no matter what!  I think we hold more tightly to our beliefs here than in any other part of the country, or it seems to be that way.  There is just not much wiggle room.  Well this past year our family has had to look at some those beliefs in a different light.

20 Things That Make Me Smile

little babies

old couples holding hands

puppies

when my children come and lay on my bed and talk to me

pretty things

scoring an awsome piece of junk  treasure

a job well done

a finished project

when my children smile

when my husband smiles

a crisp, cool day after a long, hot, southern summer

pumpkins in the fall

Christmas lights at Christmas

flowers in the spring

snow, which we rarely ever get

making someone happy, if only for a moment

knowing my children are happy

fun memories of my mother

fun memories of my grandmother

making memories with family

Now don't get these things mixed up with things that make me laugh out loud and say "now that was a hoot!"
What are some things that made you smile today?  Feel free to share.
