7 Simple Things That Make Me Smile

Often times happiness can be found in the simplest (and most frugal) of things. Here are a few recent photos that made me smile, and I hope they bring a smile to your face too!!

1. Treating stuffed animals to a fun swing ride.

 

2. Impromptu trips to the candy store with rather difficult decisions to make.

 

3. Hugs that are SO BIG they almost knock you over!!

 

4. Spotting clever puns on the highway.

 

5. Painting AND singing at the same time.

 

6. Walking under a tree branch that’s just tall enough.

 

7. Kids who run to me with open arms.

 

Wishing you and your family a fun day filled with simple pleasures!!

    • Hi Jackie!

      The closest thing I can think of would be to try subscribing to our feed via email and you’ll get a message every time there’s a new post. There isn’t a weekly or monthly email that’s sent, but I’ll work on putting one together. Hope this helps & welcome to FFFB! 🙂
