I’m grateful for sometimes food

This week I’m grateful for:

Three-year-old Ella reminding me that after toast, an apple, mandarin and rice cake, it was really time for some “sometimes’’ food. Apparently, cake or a biscuit would do. Yes, thanks Sesame Street. (Note; we ended up going a choc chip cookie).
Two-plus hours in a hairdresser’s chair to get rid of the “grey highlights’’, get a head massage and not be asked for food, nappy changes or to blow someone’s snotils (aka, nostrils). OK, so it hasn’t happened just yet, but I’ll be grateful for that moment in the morning.
Baby Holly now full-on crawling. She sets her sights on something she wants (usually food or Dad’s beer), crawls flat out to get it, then ends up nose diving into the carpet because her arms can’t keep up with her legs. Too cute!

I’m joining with Maxabella Loves to share what I’m grateful for.

Oh I love those early-crawling moments. The face plants, the belly flops, the frantic return to commandoing when they realise it was faster. Enjoy it all! x

  Oh yes, the commandoing is happening a lot. She quickly cottoned on to that trick! I just love watching it all. It’s too cute! 🙂

Hairdresser visits are the best. Oh, just to sit for 2 hours!

  It was heaven, Kell. I even got to read a whole magazine without being disturbed. And came away with a million blog post ideas! As you do… 😉

  Hope your hairdressers visit was just as sublime as mine, Megan. I enjoyed every minute of it. Only wish I could book myself in every week. When I win the lotto, maybe! 😉

Oh I’m drooling on my keyboard at the thought of a pampering session at the hairdressers – I only get there a handful of times a year, but I love every second of it. Enjoy the head massage – ask for an extra rub for me please? 🙂

My favourite part of the whole experience is the head massage. I’d be happy to pay for just that!
Have fun 🙂

  Oh, I’m so with you, Kellie. I think there’s a business idea in that! Someone could make a fortune! 😉

  Oh, how fab, Glenys. Hope you had a productive morning.
  The Bloke in The Shed took the girls to his parents’ house while I was at the salon. They all survived! 😉

Crawling for Dad’s beer – love it! My kids were all the same. It was either the TV remote or whichever family member had put their drink on the ground.

  Oh yes, the TV remote. Which goes in the mouth and then ends up covered in drool. Always noice! 😉

Hello, hope that the hairdressers was totally luxurious… and that the crawling at top speed continues as painlessly as possible. Hectic times, but fun too.

  Most definitely hectic, but yes, heaps of fun, Seana. Can’t believe we’re already at this point. It goes so quickly.
  And the hairdressers was wonderful!! Ahhhh……

  Skype is just the best! Loved your post, Lauren! 🙂
