Because they remind you to smile

Hello Kitty pretending she's Mumble

When work days are hectic and sometimes disappointing, it helps to have objects around you that make you smile. On my desk, I have a Wall-E speaker that perks me up, a little fortune plant that relaxes me, a picture of my husband and me in a photo booth back in our dating days that calms me. Another lovely little thing that makes me smile is this Hello Kitty trinket. It’s adorable and makes a heavy workday a little lighter.

Did you smile when you saw the picture? 😉

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu, and I've been blogging at at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

    Yes, I smiled. I also have a Hello Kitty in Kimono key chain with me. In my family, I’m the only sucker for cute things.

    Thanks for making me smile with Hello Kitty. :) Work can be pretty dreadful, so I have photos of friends and Rob Pat on my corkboard to help me pull through. Hehe.

    Rob Pat really?! :) Cute!! I’d put photos of Harold Dieterle and Sam Talbot on my desk but I don’t think I’d be able to work…

    what makes me smile when tired and weary in the office are pictures of me and tabebs and biboy, they are my kids, my hubby, and some folders of pictures in jpeg format in my pc.

    That is sweet. :)
