day two: smile

for day two of the challenge, i bring you:

chloe's double-dimpled grin.
that child's expressions are instant happiness to me. ♥

and:
i worked hard trying to get sweet livy to smile for the camera too...
turns out, all she needed was a quick swig from daddy's drink
to bribe a smile outta her.
little turkey: i could eat her cuteness for breakfast, lunch & dinner. ♥



perhaps my biggest blessing of all, is waking up to these two smiles everyday.

i need to remember that more.
i have so much to smile about...and it's right under my nose [quite literally] day & night.

here are a few things that made me smile today:




i made healthy choices and didn't eat any halloween candy today!




livy & i prepped our soil for some fresh flats of winter flowers,
to hopefully be planted tomorrow...if i have time.



cute cousins playing a freestyle number/{loud} duet...
and if you look close, you can see 'vaeh's darling silver boots....
[those made me smile too!]



and last but not least, happy vases of zinnias adorning the surfaces of my home.
all from this happy bloom.

*as a very wise woman once said:
"life is good, the zinnias are blooming..."
