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 love;
- The way Baby says ‘woof’ and it comes out ‘oof’.
- How in love with her playhouse Baby is.
- That we got to visit my wonderful friend Em and meet her beautiful little people.
- That my husband really is my knight in shining armour and rescues me on my bad days.
- Reading to Baby and watching how excited she gets at the prospect.
- Seeing Baby’s face first thing in the morning.
- Vanilla coolers from Costa, although they give me an incredible ice cream headache!
- My new skirt, made by my mum from some great fabric I found.
- Watching Baby trying to balance her bath toys on her head, when in the bath.
So what are you grateful for this week?

Seeing their faces first thing in the morning is always so special, even if it is 5am! Lovely list. It’s great to make a note of things like this as they so easily get pushed to the back of your mind as you try to remember all the new things they can do at each stage.

I think I might print all the lists off at some point and make them into a Gratitude book x
What a fantastic list! And a great quote 🙂
I love that acknowledging what we’re grateful for more aware of what we have to be grateful for and makes us happier people.

I also get an ice-cream headache from those coolers in Costa, I am so glad it isn’t just me x

I thought I was going to die, it was that painful right between my eyes. Then I was stupid and tried another flavour and it did the same thing, so I might have to stop myself from having another! x
It is exciting baby is trying to say more words! Love the fact your mum made you a skirt! Lovely idea as well as a thrifty idea! x
Author
I fell in love with the fabric and thought I might as well put her to work! 😉 x

Whoa! I’d not discovered Costa vanilla cooler. Sounds dangerous (but delicious!).

It is so tasty but honestly the pain has completely put me off after I had another the other day (thinking the pain the first time was a one off….it wasn’t!) x
Glad you had such a great time with friends. Your skirt sounds fab I need a photo. lol I love your gratitude list Aby. So amazing and grateful! I was just picturing your baby balancing those toys on her head in the bath so cute. Buba does this and thinks it’s hilarious and Missy Moo looks on in hysterics too. Bless them. Happy life!

Hi I am completely new to your blog and your blog post made me cry!!!!
What a lovely lovely way to remember and be grateful for all of the things in your week. I am sad for all those weeks that have passed that I have not taken the time to remember some of the small things.

That’s a fabulous gratitude list. I love how delighted they are to be read to when they are babies. I get reminded of that quote a lot by Karin from Cafe Bebe, and always at times when I need to hear it. It’s a good’n.
Great post.
