365 Days Of Gratitude. In September I was grateful for..

 I have seen many people on social media list something every day that they are grateful for and thought I would join in. I did this for the whole of last couple of years and it has really made me realise that even on the bad day's I have something to be grateful for. 

September was a good month. It was the month where we found a bit of normal after a crazy summer, the weather has really cooled down and it feel likes Autumn and we redecorated the kitchen which has seemed to take weeks when I think of the planning, all the painting and finishing touches.

Today I am grateful that the nurses could finally get some blood from Ellie. It was just a blood test to check up on her. It took two nurses and 4 tries. Ellie was a star, shame about her veins which kept hiding.

  3. Ellie is such a wonderful young lady. Central heating is on, the Halloween decorations are on, and you are starting to think about Christmas gifts too. This is a lovely time of year.

  4. Aw, what a lovely month you had. I love how your kitchen turned out, it looks amazing.
    Glad Ellie got through her blood tests OK. It's rubbish when they can't find a vein.
    Your gonk is so cute! I've got one sitting on my fireplace hehe.
    Lovely pics of you and your girls. xx
