Gratitude Project - 5th November

It's been a gloriously sunny (if windy!) day; which meant I powered through three loads of washing - a gratitude in itself!!

We've had a great mix of a lazy and productive day: t-ball with the kids, a delicious hour or so of reading in blissful peace and then an afternoon of playing in the backyard and cleaning the house.

All in all, it's been an awesome Saturday!

Things I'm grateful for today:

1. Having found such a lovely baseball club for my boys to be a part of. Their coach is a young guy with no kids, and he is so awesome with them all! And Mac and Warrie both adore him and talk about Coach Tim all the time. There's no pressure for them to perform, its all about learning the game and having fun - for all us newbie parents as well as the kids!

2. Being able to read my book with a cuppa and some toast in peace. After t-ball, the boys were vegged out in front of the telly with Mr M (who snoozed) and I retired to my bedroom with my book and read and read and read! The tea and toast was a delightful bonus!

3. Unexpected dinner with my in-laws. I have always loved Mr M's family like my own, and I feel very lucky to have a great relationship with his parents. Good company + yummy food + a couple of glasses of wine = a wonderful evening (especially as there was no cleaning up for me to do afterwards!)

I hope you've all had a great start to the weekend! Was there a stand out moment for you today?

Gratitude Project - 16th February

Today was wet a miserable, but we had a reprieve! My sister-in-law and her partner took the boys of our hands for most if the day!

Hubby and I had a delicious lunch date (we were reading newspapers at the table, like other non-kid-couples do!!). Then we mooched at home, watching the Winter Olympics and reading our books. 

It. Was. Fantastic!!

Today I am grateful for:

1. My SILs. We needed some time out and they delivered! It was so good to chill with Hubby and not be pulled in so many directions

2. Have I ever told you about my new armchair?? I got some amazing reading time in it today!

3. Hubby decided he wanted a beer with dinner, so he went to the bottle shop. He came home with a cider for me AND a cheesecake!! This man knows the way to my heart :)

What's the weather like where you are? There seem to be some crazy extremes at the moment!
