#R2BC Reasons to be cheerful....1 2 3

What a fantastic idea from Michelle at http://mdplife.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/reasons%20to%20be%20cheerful
Sometimes when I'm so caught up in day to day pressures of bringing up two very small children and trying to be a good 'Domestic Goddess ' type wifey....(Please read that last bit with plenty of irony! It is intended that way!) I forget to be grateful. In fact hubbie and I have got self pity syndrome down to a fine art....on most days anyway!!!So I think this will be good for me in a 'Wake up and smell the coffee' kind of way, so I may make a weekly habit of it, because when I think about things really, we are so lucky!
Number 1 :-
My children are healthy and possibly the most beautiful babies I have ever set eyes on! Yeah yeah I'm biased I know, but isn't that a good thing? That all us parents out there look at our children in that wonderful unconditional way? Even when they have snot running down their faces and chocolate in their hair! There will never be a feeling like that! If I could capture it, that intense feeling of love and protection I feel when I look at them, I would bottle it and keep it forever, I hope it never changes, I don't think that it can, even when they reach 40!
Number 2 :-
We have a lovely warm house, rented, granted, but ours all the same, until we are in a position to get our very own! My dream.....an un-magnolia'd piece of heaven!!This house is all my children have ever known. They feel safe here. We moved in five days before Luke made an unexpected early arrival. We were putting up his nursery when my waters broke. It will always be our first family home together.
Number 3 :-
Every week hubbie buys me flowers!!! I know we are new to this marriage lark, six months in....But I hope he always does, because it makes me feel special!
So there we have it! And you know,  it has made me smile!!

Note all the boxes at the back!!!!!
So here's the linky bit!! Please come and say hello, and thanks to Julie at http://my-lifeandkids.blogspot.co.uk/ for suggesting this lovely idea!
