I’m joining in with This Enchanted Pixie and her 52 weeks of gratitude linky. Here’s my week 3 list 🙂
1) Having my dad come to stay for a couple of days last week. I don’t get to see him as often as I’d like because he lives in Derbyshire and I live in Lincoln so it was lovely to spend some time with him while he was on holiday from work 🙂
2) Lovely weather – it hasn’t been particularly hot but it’s not been raining and the temperature has been just right for me.
3) Music – the music of choice today is Nirvana and Guns N Roses. Right now I’m listening to Paradise City and trying to remember the words I used to know without even thinking!
4) Reading again – I’ve been struggling to find something to read. Nothing I’ve picked up recently has kept me hooked. I’m hoping the Britmum’s book club book of the month, The Judas Scar, is going to get me reading again because I really miss it.
5) Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. Not slimming world friendly at all but boy did I enjoy the peanut butter cup flavour!
6) Lilies again – The previous owner planted loads of them and every day I’m seeing new ones open. I now have deep red ones and some cream ones 🙂
7) Aiden’s dry humour – the other day I asked him to plug the fish in. He got down on his hands and knees, looked at all the plugs and extension lead and said, totally deadpan, I don’t see any fish mum.
It still makes me laugh now, days later, when I picture his face and hear him saying it in my head!
8) Seeing Ella’s delight when her dad came home from work with a football for her on Wednesday. She does a football club at school and wanted to be able to practice her skills at home.
9) Kaycee’s kindness – She wanted to make peppermint creams the other day but not for herself, for her teacher and friends at school and some for us. She’s always thinking of others.
10) Last but by no means least, my super wonderful husband who took care of me when I had a migraine at the start of the week and while doing so, did all the laundry and cleaning and walked the girls to school and back.

I like this idea – it made me think about what I am grateful for today – and that made me smile 🙂
Aaaw what a lovely list. Hope you get back into reading – I love reading too and hate not having a book on the go x
This is a lovely list. I used to know the words for paradise city too
Lovely list hun. I love writing my gratitude list x
It must be wonderful to have your Dad visit, for you and the children and I am with you on Ban and Jerry's. The frozen Yogurt was reduced in our ASDA and it has been a big hit with all of us
What a wonderful husband you have.
Thanks for linking this post! As my blog is about being positive this is right up my street. I think it's so important to remember the good things in our lives. Especially being a Mum to two young children (hence I'm exhausted) I find being thankful changes the atmosphere when I get abit fed up being home all the time with the children. May link up to!

What a lovely & refreshing way to remember all the good & positive! I think I may join in too, thank you .
What a lovely post!! Sometimes its nice to take a little time out just to think about what we are really greatful for as sometimes its easy to forget the little things that make us happy! Im most grateful that my little girl made it into the world safely last week! xx
