It's Friday again and time to count our blessings for the week. This meme is hosted by Susanne over at Living to Tell the Story. Pop over there to find out more and see who's taking part.
Here are my five for this week:
1. Getting out for walks again. The weather has been so mild for this time of year during the day so I've been working on my step count. This scenery never gets old.
2. Progress on house projects. I blogged about this here. At last my bedroom is no longer a bedroom/office. Hubby is adapting to the changes - slowly!

3. Snuggles with Nathan. When he woke up from his nap on Tuesday he was happy to see Grandpa had arrived but he wanted to stay with me. He sat with me like this for about 20 minutes. He probably would have stayed asleep a bit longer if I'd rocked his buggy but I didn't mind the opportunity for just sitting and cuddling. That's what I love about Grandparenting, generally I can let the Grandkids set the pace. We're not having to rush about in the same way as I felt I always was with my own kids.
I still find it hard not to feel guilty about doing nothing but reading so this morning I listened to my Fitbit and made sure I was active each hour as well as doing a chore or two everytime I was told to move! My kitchen is tidy, the dishwasher emptied and refilled and a load of laundry done. I think I earned my reading time. I've also just put away some laundry. So far my Marie Kondo folding is still working.
5. I've booked a house for my birthday weekend! My birthday is not until June but I wanted to go away the weekend after with all the Kids and Grandkids. I've been meaning to get around to this for weeks but finally this week I made time for it and it's booked. It was hard finding somewhere that ticked all the boxes (all double beds, space for the Grandkids, near amenities, child friendly etc) but eventually I did and it was available. (I did find one place that looked great until I realised it had a stream running along the side of the garden, not fenced off and at the bottom of a slope - perfect for little ones to fall into!) That was a big tick on my To Do list.
Enjoy the weekend!
