Strange things make me happy, like my refrigerator. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

No, not the fridge itself — the doors don’t stay shut and the door shelves fall off if they’re not arranged just right and I have been known to cuss and stomp my feet at it — but the stuff on it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Like this.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jack made it for me for Mother’s Day when he was four (with help).\u00a0 It makes me smile to see it every day.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And this one that Victoria made at the same age.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was sick, pregnant and devoid of makeup with the world’s worst haircuts for each of us, but it makes me smile every day when I see it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Then there’s this dragon that Victoria drew and a series of pictures from when we all tried to cram into in a photo booth last year.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are magnets that remind me of happy trips, homemade decorations and an endless supply of art by the kids.\u00a0 And it all makes me happy.
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Alex loves to take everything off the fridge that he can reach, so all my special happy things are out of his two year-old reach.\u00a0 But down below, there are magnet gears and magnet animals and all sorts of wonderful magnets to make him happy, too.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe it’s silly to stage your refrigerator to make you happy, but I love it.\u00a0 I smile every time I open the door… when the shelf doesn’t fall off.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
