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 immortalized here on the page, so I will always remember.
This week I have loved;
- Watching Baby scoot properly for the first time.
- Baby telling me to ‘seep’ (sleep) then kissing me on the lips to wake me up. Heart melts.
- Seeing Baby so excited to go and play with the other children at pre-school.
- A impromptu visit from my sister-in-law.
- Lovely birthday gifts and time with friends.
- The lovely comments I had on this post about finding a balance.
- Baby saying awesome!
- Working with amazing friends and bloggers on exciting projects.
- Listening Baby saying her name and how old she is.
- Watching Baby ‘wash’ my plate under to tap in her kitchen. She would then bring it back to me and repeated the cycle MANY times, requesting a high 5 each time.
So what are you grateful for this week?

I love reading your gratitude list, you always have some lovely things listed. Sounds like baby is at such a fun age I love watching them learn something new every day, certainly makes the tantrums of a 2 year old easier when there are so many lovely bits too. Xx
Baby is the cutest! I love those little rituals that they develop in their kitchen, you have to wonder where it comes from, I mean do you high five every time you wash a plate? haha!! A lovely week Aby, I hope you are starting to find some time. Have a fab time with Katy this week xx

I like this idea of a weekly gratitude list. A weekly permanent reminder of all the good things that happen that perhaps sometimes we forget xx #happydayslinky

I love the idea of a gratitude list. Sometimes you feel like you’ve had a really bad week and doing something like this forces you to see the positives. #HappyDays

Such a lot to be grateful for Aby, love these posts. Baby’s sleep / kiss you awake game sounds adorable xx #sharethejoy
The photo of Baby with the ball is brill. Such a happy little girl. 🙂
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am in awe of how much time and effort you put into your blog. Without a doubt you really do earn the amazing opportunities you’ve had. I think finding balance is something we all struggle with but you’re definitely on the right track.
Have a lovely, and hopefully relaxing, week! Vx
