OK, so this isn’t exactly a review but we thought we might branch out a little here at TCH and try something a little different… MEMES!
Never heard of them? Don’t feel bad, I hadn’t either until tonight. Basically, a MEME gives you a topic and you write about it while giving a link back to the site with the theme/MEME. So here goes! The topic of this MEME is Smiling and our take on it.

What makes me smile? Oh gosh that is TOO easy!
My kids makes me smile, laugh, cry, pull my hair out, lol, then right back to the smiling!
We have 3 kiddies with another on the way (ssh, it’s sort of a secret, not so much now) and so many aspects of their childhood keep me in awe. I often catch myself with one of those big ‘ole cheesy grins on my face. You know the kind? Where you are just smiling so big, looking kind of dorky, and don’t even realize it, because whatever is the cause, it just so overwhelming you can’t help yourself.
Yeah, I get those a lot. Especially now, with the ages of my little muffins. 9, 5, 2 and this one due early this summer.
Our 9 year old is into science and reading and is just a wealth of knowledge, constantly leaving me dumbfounded because he is already so much smarter than I am! hahaha
Our 5 year old is a school newbie and has learned so much. She read a complete book about trees to me, only needing help on one or two words. Along with the smile on my face were tears in my eyes. I can’t believe how much she has learned! And she is a decorator! That child is constantly rearranging her room and re-decorating it. Too cute!
Our 2 year old…… oh my.. can you say T-R-O-U-B-L-E ????? {insert BIG smile here!} She is such a little mischief maker, with a darling and Brand new little giggle to follow. She has created this goofy little laugh that no one can duplicate. It is so funny! Then she wraps those little arms around my neck and says ‘ I love you mommy sweetheart’ and I just melt into a puddle of mommy love!

So, that is my take on smiles. Even in the worst of times, our children can always bring a smile to our face when we reflect on their purity and beauty and knowledge. I know mine sure do!
