I love the process of writing a weekly gratitude list, as it ensures I consciously take in the small, but lovely things that happen every day. Then, they are immortalised here on the page, so I will always remember.
This week I have loved;
- Watching Baby learn to make bubbles with a bubble wand and learn to say ‘bubble’.
- Seeing Baby play with her BFF, who has been on holiday. She hugged her so tight.
- Walking with Baby beside me, holding my hand (we are doing more without the buggy now).
- Baby’s new room is almost decorated. It won’t be long until we can move her.
- That we sold lots of old things at the NCT sale and managed to pick up some bargains too!.
- Having Mr Hubby at home for 3 more days than usual.
- Teaching Baby to cross the road safely.
- Playing in the park with Baby.
- Going over 5k Twitter followers.
- That I picked up bargain curtains for Baby’s room. I was trying to decide if I wanted to spend £50, then looked in the sale bin and found the exact ones half price!
So what are you grateful for this week?

Lovely post and I agree that it’s fab to get things written down so they’re not forgotten.
Brilliant bargain on your curtains!
Lovely list.
I am grateful for my children being happy.
About my boy’s smile on his birthday.
About my whole family coming together for a special birthday meal 🙂
This is such a great tool for helping us live in the moment and reminding us of what’s REALLY important in life – the simple things that make us happy from the inside, out.
My nine-year-old daughter always makes me catch my breath when she says, “I’m so happy to have life.” I’m sure I never uttered such profundities at her age.

It’s great to log down and keep these small things for prosperity. I am grateful when my kids give me huge bear hugs ‘just because’ x
