Grateful - For Time

I'm joining in with Maxabella's Saturday Grateful post today; a chance to talk about the things I'm grateful for this week...

Friends. In a week with Steve away, it was great to catch up with some friends and have company. I've sat and chatted, talked on the phone and even Skyped to see my sister and her gorgeous kidlets.

Mothers and daughters. Earlier this week Abbey and I spent a day with my mum. The three of us lunched, played and even sang and danced. There's nothing like spending a day with your mum and your daughter to lift your soul.

Cuddles. This week saw Abbey come down with a cold and my independent girl turn into a cuddly little 'un. But oh, how I've enjoyed these cuddles as she's fallen asleep curled up in my arms every night. And on one particularly bad morning, I crawled into bed with her and we cuddled for another couple of hours.




And in a week where I thought I might be resuming full-time work (for just a matter of several weeks - the story of why that didn't eventuate will be brought to you at some stage), I'm really grateful to have the time to enjoy all of that.

    My mum has just arrived back from a holiday and I'm already planning to spend some time with her as well. Love my "mum" time too. Glad that even though the work didn't eventuate you got to enjoy all the precious things.

    I love those cuddles, but it's a pity they often come with illness. xx

    How lovely. I am happy for you that you were able to spend your week that instead of working full time.

    A 'cross-generational' day with your kin is very special indeed. x

    Megan, so glad you could enjoy some more precious days with your family before working (if that eventuates? would love to hear more on that one). But days with family are the best. It's the simple things that are the most memorable for me. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous gratefuls. xx

    We visit mum's house to recharge too - a guaranteed way of having a relax and a play and mum time. And read her crappy gossip magazines, which is a guilty pleasure!
