1. Drinking Mojitos with my sis…very quickly… the speed has a direct correlation to the intensity of the smiles… and very quick means the smiles burst into hysterical giggling.
2. Porch crochet on a sunny late autumn afternoon listening to the happy birds in Dove Cottage.
3. Watching my Kiwi Coast Blankie grow and grow, and the meditations I’ve enjoyed whilst playing along with #motifmayday.
4. This pic of my son looking like a (very happy) bushranger at Iguazu Falls.
5. Snapping this pic of my stunning daughter… I’m mean seriously… This is the kind of beauty that comes from within and radiates out.
6. Rides like this, with my sweet hubby, on sweepy twisty roads sprinkled with farms and autumn loving trees.
7. This song and those voices!
8. This Instagram feed, not so much in a face smile way but in a heart smile way. So much goodness, so grateful.
9. This positive inspiring blog, again more hearts smiles than face smiles, but this post gave me both!

That song! Thank you for a new favourite! What a beautiful list of things Yvette. And those photos of your stunning kids made me smile too. Thanks for sharing. x
Isn’t it a gorgeous song! Those girls are amazing… I saw them live a couple of years back and they stepped to the front of the stage, no instruments or microphones, just their voices and it was so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes! Could have heard a pin drop! x
What lovely things you’ve described. I love love love First Aid Kit, almost as much as I love mojitos and my sister. Thanks so much for sharing. You induced my smile.
Yay! Smiles is what this post is all about – so glad it induced one for you.
I am going to see First Aid Kit again soon, and my sister is coming…. I’ll have to make sure we drink mojitos really fast that night… it’ll be a smilefest!
Beautiful crochet blanket (and nails!) and happy children.
Thanks Zena! Happy kids are huge smile inducers hey 🙂
Love that blanket!
Thank you pinknits! I’ve grown rather fond of it myself – I’m not even sick of it yet! 🙂
