What I’m grateful for today

August 2, 2015 by heatherss 9 Comments

gratefulLately I have quite a few good things that have been happening to me, so I thought I’d share some news about it.

1. My husband has moved offices and is now getting lifts to and from work. I no longer have to do the driving. This is making a huge difference to my life, time wise, and also to Nicky’s sleeping patterns.

2. Sleep is getting better around here! This past week I had two whole nights in my own bed. He did not have afternoon naps, but that meant that he went to bed early. I won’t complain. He did get a bit cranky towards the end but we rode it out.

3. So much exciting stuff is happening with SA Mom blogs. Laura and I are planning the relaunch and we are officially registered as a business.

5. Speaking of cars – I’m grateful for these toys that keep him busy and happy. He likes to have a few to take around. Sometimes I have to get creative and bring a bag or packet so that he doesn’t drop them all. But he sure loves his cars.

6. I’m grateful for the IPad for keeping him busy as well, and giving me a break on those non nap days.

7. Most of all I’m grateful for my family and my little miracle child that reminds me every day what fun and joy are all about.
