I can't help but smile when I see my daughter playing with our dogs. We have a cocker spaniel named Molly and they are joined at the hip, it's really cute. Last night when I went to put her down in her crib Molly jumped right in with her and they slept together all night, it was too sweet.
So all in all I smile at my sweet dog and her unconditional love for my baby girl.
I smile when I pull dead worms out of my little boy's pant pockets when I'm sorting laundry.

When I open up the door and I hear, "Mama!!!" and a bunch of little feet running.
My boyfriend and our dogs make me smile every day.
Your giveaway made me immediately think of something that makes me smile: my pet African Gray parrot, Thandi. She has the intelligence of a 5-year-old child, with the emotional intelligence of a 3-year-old, and so every day she can't wait to get out of her cage and spend the day with me. It's the simple things, like a fluffy head bent over for a snuggly scratch and her talking to me when I leave the room.
I love your work for many reasons, but my love of birds is what drew me to this giveaway.
Have a lovely day, and hope you smile a lot today :)

Today, nothing makes me smile. We've had a sudden death in the family; too young. I will be looking for something to smile about today and all I can think of is how I just want a few minutes with my art journal and my paint and just some time to center and reflect. It'll be the little things; my kids and my crazy dog that make me smile today.
