Default smoking when car is started

last night my car ran fine (this motor is tripping me out) .. ok i drove it last night nothing wrong with it at all .. well earlier today my car alarm goes off for no apparent reason i go outside and turn it off and then decided to start my car and move it ... when i started it up the car it smoke a lil bit then when i gas it it blows out white smoke its a not a cloud of smoke .. its not blue or grey its like a light/medium white .. i checked the dipstick and my oil is fine its not milky .. i was wondering if somebody might have a clue what it might be thanks

your burning antifreeze

check your thermostat, and make sure your coolant is good, by that i mean a good green color and make sure its not too diluted, make sure your fan is working also
