It’s been a while since I showed my face on R2BC. It is still my favourite linky but I haven’t joined in because, for a variety of reasons, I didn’t think it was appropriate (some weeks, I’ll confess, I just forgot) – I have written my posts in my head though so I was still…… Continue reading Reasons To Be Cheerful 1, 2, 3…
Today is the 22nd birthday of someone very special. She isn’t here with us any more but that doesn’t mean we don’t think of her every day and smile. Or wonder what she’d be doing now and where her life would have led. My daughter shares her name because I made a promise to myself…… Continue reading A Post For Kathryn

Here we go: 1. Arthur’s Christening We had a fantastic day at Arthur’s Christening with friends and…… Continue reading Reasons To Be Cheerful 1, 2, 3… – The Bumper Edition
So much to be cheerful about this week! Where to start…. 1. Half-Term holiday antics It was great fun going away with my parents and the Smalls for a mini get-away even if I did have to share a bed with Tori AND Arthur for a couple of nights! Tori in a caravan is like…… Continue reading Reasons To be Cheerful 1, 2, 3…
1. I had a brilliant day out with my Mum. We went out for lunch at Nandos and then on to see The Lion King in 3D at our local cinema followed by a quick G&T in the pub whilst waiting for my Dad to pick us up! It was good to have some…… Continue reading Reasons To Be Cheerful 1, 2, 3…
1. Tori & Arthur are loving their playgroup. For the last few weeks I have been taking the Smalls to Toddlers Plus once a week at my church and they both seem to love it. It is good for them to spend time with other kids and babies their age, have a good run round…… Continue reading Reasons To Be Cheerful 1, 2, 3…
September’s been a bit of a funny month. It started with a chaotic holiday, continued with me changing my happy pills because the ones I were on before weren’t making me vary happy and is finishing with a bout of illness. Sy had it first (so it’s all his fault) and now I have it…… Continue reading Reasons To Be Cheerful 1, 2, 3…
1. I saw my first ever ballet. It was the English Youth Ballet production of the Nutcracker and for a production consisting of lots of very young boys and girls as well as a few older ones and 6 professional dancers it was brilliant. I went with my sister-in-law-to-be and my Mum and it was…… Continue reading Reasons to be Cheerful 1, 2, 3…
This week has been a good one 🙂 So many things to choose from it’s hard to not waffle on forever!! 1. We had a lovely family day out. Yesterday we went to Wonderland in Telford as a treat for Tori’s birthday. She loved it – exploring the houses in the woods, going…… Continue reading Reasons To Be Cheerful 1, 2, 3…
1. Sy and I had some ‘us’ time. On Tuesday Sy and I had our Alphabet Date ‘C’ and it was a ‘Child-free’ event. I feel a little guilty saying it was great to be away from the Smalls for a bit, but it was. It’s been a long time since Sy & I had…… Continue reading Reasons To Be Cheerful 1, 2, 3…
