Reasons to be Cheerful

I have been abit slack with my blogging for a while, only really doing reviews and the much debated sponsored posts, and although there's all sort of things I want to blog about I just never really get them down, and I find myself sitting staring into the new post box blankly.

So to give me abit of a boost, I'm joining in the lovely Michelle, Mummy from the hearts, reasons to be cheerful linky, I often read through the posts and always mean to join in, so here I am joining in!

This week has been cold, rainy and hectic, there has been some personal family problems and it is all too easy to fall into a gloomy place, but you know there are lots of simply things to remember to keep us smiling so here we go.

1) I joined my eldest two at school for a dine with us meal on Wednesday, it was great to see them in the middle of the day and they were so pleased I'd come along, sitting eating with them at school chatting over the school table really made me smile!

2) My eldest came home with a respect award, for hard work in maths, always makes me so very happy to hear that he is doing his best at school, I know how much he struggles and I know his grades may not ever be top of the class but as long as his attitude and effort stay on par then I will always be extremely proud of him.

3) My youngest has been going to school with no fuss and coming home happy, he seems to have settled into year 1 well, a fairly big change from the easy going foundation stage and I'm proud of his ability to adapt to his new class.

4) The food shopping has been done for the week, there is food in the cupboards and I have a home made lasagna ready to be cooked for tea tonight!

What are your reasons to be cheerful? Why not pop over to Mummy from the hearts blog and see what has been making others smile!
