Reasons to be Cheerful XVIII (#R2BC)

Reasons to be Cheerful at Mummy from the Heart

It's not been a bed of roses this week but I'm coming out smiling and here's why:

1) My daughter's school report

After my son's report last week I was hoping that my daughter would get as good a one. A quick look at her KS1 SAT's results was a great start:
  • Speaking and listening 2
  • Reading 3
  • Writing 2A
  • Mathematics 3
  • Science 3
On the whole the rest of her report was also good though her teacher was trying to find nice ways to admit my daughter is "bossy"! She came across as an enthusiastic pupil who has done really well despite all the upheavals in her life over the last 2 years.

2) Son finishing nursery

This had the potential to be a tear jerker as its the end of an era! However we had a lovely farewell party at his nursery this week for all the children leaving this month. There were bouncy castles and a magician as well as free ice creams (supplied by my church!).


3) Kids' swimming


At the end of term both my children passed their assessments to move on up a group. They have come on so much since starting at Troutbeck in January. Their confidence has increased and its a joy to watch them. We will see how things are after the school holidays and we must practice over the summer!




4) Slimmer of the Week!


What a great way to get back on track with the diet - a 5 lb weight loss and slimmer of the week! It may well be that listening to my Thinking Slimmer slimpod is finally working. Let's hope it continues to stop me feeling hungry so I can stick with my Rosemary Conley low fat and lots exercise regime.

Reasons to be Cheerful XVII (#R2BC)

Reasons to be Cheerful at Mummy from the Heart

On the whole a much more cheerful week so here's the things that have made me smile in the past 7 days:

1) A Wonderful Weekend

The friends who did the most to help me move out of my old home to come up north were up in Kendal staying with my parents. We had a great weekend showing them around Kendal, having a BBQ and going to the #CumbriaTwitnic. It was a very relaxed weekend with friends old and new. The fact the sun shone for almost the whole time was an added bonus.

2) The Fells

See Tuesday's post where I got a chance to actually get out and enjoy the marvels on offer on my doorstep.

3) My Son's Nursery Leaver's Report

My son is leaving nursery next Wednesday and yesterday I was given his final report. I am one proud mummy after reading the lovely things his teacher had to say about him:
  • very confident and motivated
  • hugely creative and develops some fabulous play
  • His imagination is a joy to observe
  • has a superb general knowledge and wide extensive vocabulary
  • has a wonderful knowledge of songs and rhymes


The best bit has to be "you have been a super member of the class and we will all miss you". I think it could be quite emotional when he has his last visit next week.
