It's the Little Things

This week it's been rather hectic and a little bit stressed here at the Cackleberry Kids house... lots to do with the new collection, deadlines looming, submissions to be put together and the normal array of 'Stuff' we all have to do.

Tuesday happened to be a particularly full on day and I who am normally quite controlled was feeling the panic.... then all of sudden I noticed that my lovely cherry blossom trees were budding and I just felt so much better!

The hint of spring was starting to appear and it just made me smile

Then to totally brighten my day, my wonderful boys gave me a beautiful bunch of tulips - sitting at my dinning room table, typing like a mad women I looked up and they just looked amazing with the sun coming in through the

windows - its was so lovely and I felt so uplifted and inspired to get over my mountain...

It's the little things that matter!

Oh the Giggles & Smiles

One sound that just melts my heart every single time I hear it is Ethan's giggles. Or any child's laughter for that matter.

It really doesn't matter what sort of day you are having or had, where you hoped to be in huge list of to-do's or what it was that made you lose that positive edge that you started your day with... that one little sound can just make it all go away in an instant!

We all forget about the amazing power that you get from a simple smile or a giggle once we are all grown up and adults! It makes me wonder sometimes, how we forget?

I know we are all busy doing a thousand things at once but a smile or a giggle can bring everything back into perspective so quickly - well most of the time

Some food for thought:

How do you make yourself smile?

How do you feel when your little one giggles - just because they can?

Do you make others smile?

How do you feel when someone makes you smile or laugh?

Interesting don't you think?

So it got me thinking what can you do for someone to make them smile?

I love flowers and tulips are stunning and in sharing this bunch with you all, I hope it brings a smile to your day
