10 Things That Make Me Smile
Last week was a long and fairly stressful one for me. To try and set this new week off on a better note by focusing on 10 things that currently bring me joy.
My Husband
Honestly I don’t know what I’d do without him. This man is my best friend and has been there for me over the last 13 years together. I'm so excited to watch him become a dad, I think he’s going to be amazing and our little girl will be so lucky!
2. Baby Girl Kicking
There’s just something about feeling your baby move and kick inside you that is magical. It’s such a surreal feeling and I love getting to sit on the sofa, talk to her and feel her move.
3. Flynn (my dog)
Everyday this dog makes me smile. Since I started working from home he has become my sidekick and his goofy personality makes me laugh at least once a day.
4. Spending Time with Family
My family mean the world to me. I’ve been so happy that we’ve been able to see them more over as things have started to open up over the last few months. The time I get to spend with them is irreplaceable and I love every second of it!
5. Sunsets
There’s just something about a sunset which makes me smile. They are so beautiful and remind me to make the most of everyday. I have so many pictures rather location above at sunset I can't believe I get to live in such a beautiful area.
6. Flowers
Flowers just make me happy. It doesn’t matter if they are ones I’ve grown myself or one’s gifted by a friend, they just bring a huge smile to my face. I think it’s because they are so temporary that you have to seize the moment and enjoy them while they last, which a great lesson in life in general too!.
7. The Beach
It doesn’t matter if it's cold and wet or warm and sunny, I love the beach. It gives me a sense of freedom and makes me feel like I can breathe deeply and relax.
8. Chocolate
On a more foody bases note anything chocolate currently makes me smile. For the people in my life that have known me a while, it’s definitely a new love. I was always a savory or sour sweet person, until I got pregnant and now chocolate just brings me so much joy.
9. Pasta
However my biggest food joy is pasta and has been for years now! Pure comfort food for me and thankfully eating it daily during my first trimester still hasn’t put me off.
10. Autumn Decor
This may be superficial for some but getting to put my autumn decor out in my home brought me so much joy this year. Everytime I catch a glimpse of it I smile and think how excited I am to be bring our baby home this season!
