This got me thinking. What am I grateful for? I feel like I should be saying things like fresh water, a nice house, security etc but these are all thing we take for granted in this country! For me it might seem to be the obvious but I am most grateful for my family and friends.
These include of course my beautiful little girls Poppy and Rosie. It took a few years for us to get pregnant and at one point I was beginning to think it might never happen. For this reason I am grateful for them every day and am very grateful that I was able to become a Mummy.
I am also grateful for my Husband. We have been together since we were 17 so were childhood sweethearts. I love him even more every day and am looking forward to growing old together. He is my best friend and soul mate and I feel extremely lucky to have him. He is also a fantastic hands on Daddy to our girls.
Then there are my parents. They have been great to me over the years. They have even brought my Sister and I tickets for CyberMummy...very generous! They are also fantastic doting grandparents. My girls are lucky to have them.
There is of course my Sister (Not Yet A Yummy Mummy). Being parents together has brought us even closer and although we don't live very close we are on the phone daily. I am currently enjoying sharing our passion for blogging and helping each other with develop our blogs. I am really looking forward to going to Cybermumy with her. She is a great friend as well as a Sister and I am glad my girls have each other just like we do. She has been feeling really rotten lately due to extreme morning sickness but this photo reminds me of her personality.
I am also extremely luck to have lots of very close friends. Due to my Husbands job, we move regularly so I have friends spread all around the world. My very best friend is Sarah, we have known each other since we were 17 too. She is more like a Sister than a friend and we are very close.
There are a million other things I am grateful for but without my family and friends I would not be the happy grounded person I am today.
