oh I love this post my lovely! Thanks for tagging me. I am rubbish with memes, but I will make an effort this time as it’s so nice to focus on the positive! The photo of you and your hubby dancing is great! I absolutely love your dress. Some really beautiful things mentioned there. It is all so full of love and kisses (sticky ones hehe), cuddles. You are a real mummy!!!
Thank you Mel – I love that photo too, it’s one of my favourites. I loved the idea of focusing on so many positives too and it made me realise that nearly all the things that make me happy are completely free and just involve time with my family 🙂
What a fantastic post, so much love and happiness. I was smiling all the way through. Thank you so much for the tag, what a wonderful opportunity to spread a bit of happiness. The picture of you and your husband dancing is gorgeous, beautiful dress =)
Thank you Jenni – I love that photo too 🙂
Such a lovely post! It is very important to focus on the positives! I agree with you, ‘I love you Mummy,’ is the best phrase in the world! xxx
Thank you – was lovely to focus on the positives 🙂
Loving you 50 things especially strictly (I’m with you there) and all that dancing! Your girls look super cute x
Thank you 🙂
Hi my love, it’s been a while and what a lovely easy-to-read post and you look fab dancing with hubby. The photo of the girls hugging is just adorable. Love that one of your points is seeing your girls happy at Church. We are RC and we go to Mass (try to go hehe) every Sunday as it’s what we both did as children, and seeing my children do the things I did, in the very same Church I can’t quite put into words. I shall vote for you now in the Inspire section for the BiBs x
Thank you Georgina – so glad that your children are so happy in your church too and thank you so much for the BiBs vote – that’s made my day! 🙂
Such a lovely post. Wonderful how so many of them are the simple things xxx #TheList
Thank you Leigh – definitely made me realise that nearly all the best things are free x
Great shot of you and hubby dancing! This is a great list, I’d have many of the same things on mine 🙂
