What makes me smile ... anyone in my family belly laughing, all music by Jason Mraz, my hubby wrinkle smiling at me, watching my kiddos sleep soundly and being at peace, being called Kiki by my loved ones, an amazing lemon drop martini, a beautiful homily by Papa Joe and anything Chris Farley related.
