Moments of Gratitude is where I reflect on all of the things that have made me happy, thankful and inspired that week. I hope that I will also inspire you to do the same…
These week I have loved these moments…
• Choosing our first real Christmas tree. It was such a fun family occasion choosing the tree and decorating it together.
• Seeing the excitement on Little M’s face as he got to pick a Christmas tree decoration to buy!
• Watching Little M literally work up a sweat at his gymnastics class – it’s so great to see him throwing himself into all the activities, trampolining, running, jumping…
• Seeing Little M sit so patiently while he had his hair cut. Suddenly he seems like such a grown up boy and not a baby any more!
• Feeling like part of a community of mummies (really I should say mommies…) at the playground. It’s taken a long time, but I finally feel settled socially in San Francisco and have some new mummy friends too.
• Finishing my second knitting project – a drinks holder! Now I’ve started on a cute hat for Little Girl.
• Feeling grateful for amazing friends. When you don’t have family nearby, your friends become your family and I’m so lucky to have some incredible people in my life.
• Watching Little M having a raucous time with his daddy in the swimming pool, shrieking and laughing as he was thrown up in the air!
What were your moments of gratitude this week?
Isn’t it terrific the happiness that children bring into our lives? As someone who was once quite indifferent to the idea of having children, I can’t believe now what I would have missed out on. If I was to write a list of everything I’m grateful for this week, most of the things on it would be about my boy too 🙂
I know, I can’t imagine my life without Little M. Children are such a reminder of how precious life is and how it’s the people in our lives who matter the most. x
What a lovely blog you have here! Children brings smile to our lives no matter what circumstances we are. I love that family together when you decorated the Christmas tree. I’m happy for you too that you already socially settled in San Francisco. Such a happy week for you. #HappyLinkyDays

It’s always great to remember the little moments. I have enjoyed the holidays with my toddler. He saw Santa for the first time and opened his first present. Fun! Hope you had a great Christmas.
Aw, lovely. I love those firsts! We had a lovely Christmas thank you – and here’s to a fantastic 2016! x
