I’m off to spend some time with my mom, and hear about how her trip went, but I just wanted to remind you guys to be good to yourselves and make sure to do something that makes you smile every day – no matter how small it might seem.

Love those shoes! And thanks for the uplifting post girl. I had a pretty crummy day yesterday, so I needed this! 🙂

I love your new Pandora plane charm. My mom and German “sister” (former exchange student with my family) bought our bracelets at the same time, and now gift each other charms every birthday and Christmas. It’s a fun and very special tradition. (And it makes gift-giving easy peasy!).
Enjoy the mother-daughter time with your mom! xoxo
First of all YOU and this post makes me smile 🙂 It is so filled with examples of how we can find happiness in the things we do everyday.
A lot makes me smile these days. Feeling sun on my skin, a warm hug, being surrounded by amazing people and listen to their wisdom, having a heart that is beating with optimism and strength . . . and a new cheese in my refrigerator 😉
Is that a Pandora? I love Pandora 😀 My mum bought the cutest little Buddha and an angel for me yesterday ^^

I think it’s so important to smile every day 🙂 🙂
