Meanwhile here are my birthday reasons to be cheerful:
1) My Birthday
Saturday was my birthday and thanks to my parents kindly having my children all day I got to spend it in Manchester at BlogCamp! I love my children dearly but to have an entire day to myself doing what I wanted was such a treat. The fact that it meant the company of some lovely friends from my twitter and blogging world was a bonus. Even more of a bonus was that it included cake and wine...
And I came back to a cake made by my mum and my daughter:
2) My daughter's birthday
On Sunday my daughter was 9. It is amazing how the time has flown by! She wanted to be grown up this year and as Sunday is no good for sleep overs I took her and 4 mates for a Pizza Express lunch then the cinema. I sat away from them to give a feeling of independence whilst still supervising. At times she looked so grown up:
It's definitely a week to be smiling about in our house! What is making you cheerful this week?
Lots of lovely celebrations: great reasons to be cheerful :)
