Celebrating the summer holidays - week three of six

It's Friday again, believe it or not, so time to celebrate all that's lovely and nice in the world. It doesn't matter how small or how big the celebration, if you've got something good to shout about you should be on the linky list for this hop to share it with the world. It never hurts to spread the happiness.

As always, the wonderful VikLit at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author is presiding over events, along with her co-hosts. Head over to see who else is celebrating this week.

Today, I'm celebrating:

• Enjoying time to myself to get back into some swimming. I've finally taken the plunge (ha ha!!!) and have started trying to get my body back into some kind of shape. I was lucky after this baby not to retain much of the weight, but I could still benefit from shifting some of it.

• I've lost 3lbs since starting to lose weight. Not much in a week but slow and steady does it, I want to keep it off once it's gone :-)

• We're half way through the summer holidays! Yippee!!!

How about you lovely people? Anything good to celebrate? Have a great weekend!

Celebrating summer holidays- week two of six

Hello lovely bloggers! I'm a bit late getting to my celebration post today but I'm here and it's still Friday, so it still counts right?

We're now at the end of the second full week of the summer holidays, which means we're not far from half way. This week has been a bit more chilled out, and I haven't spent as much money as last week. Good job really, the holidays are expensive!

Anyway, time to celebrate the small things with VikLit over at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author and her co-hosts. Head over to these lovely gals to check out who else is celebrating this week.

Today, I'm celebrating: 
 

• My husbands new car. Even though it's three years old it drives like it's new, so huge thanks to the previous owner for looking after it so well. I'm not allowed to have a new car this year so I have to drive around in his and pretend it's mine :-)

• Making a dent in all of the old blog posts I'm trying to catch up with. I finally feel like I'm getting back into it all now.

• The arrival of my new Galaxy tablet. It's made it a lot easier to access all the things I like to on the internet, and is largely the reason why I'm so caught up now. I can sit in the living room in more comfort while I browse through all my bloggy stuff. Wonderful!

 

Have a great weekend everyone! I hope the weather is better for you than it's supposed to be for us!

Celebrating the summer holidays - Week one of six

I'm grabbing a few minutes to write this post while the grandparents keep the children entertained for half an hour. We're only one week in to the six week summer holiday and I'm already finding little-to-no time for blogging, writing or even reading very much.




It's Friday though, so time to celebrate what we can from the last week. Our wonderful host for this is VikLit at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author, and her fabulous team of co-hosts all help spread the word of this hop and the celebrations that are making us all happy.

Please check them out as well as others on the linky list who are taking part.

Today, I'm celebrating:

 

• Our second wedding anniversary at the beginning of the week. We couldn't get out to the pub by ourselves so I cooked us a nice steak dinner at home instead, yum yum!!!

• Using three of the hobs and the fan oven all at once on my lovely range cooker for the anniversary meal. The first proper meal I've cooked on it since we moved in!

• Getting away to the coast with the girls for a few days. The sun is shining, there's no housework to do, just chill out time. Well, as much as you can chill out with a six year old and a two month old, haha!

I hope you are all celebrating something fabulous this week too!

Have a great weekend! xxx

Back to the celebrations!

Hello all, and happy Friday!

It's been a little while (ahem, two months) since I've joined in the Friday celebrations blog hop, and my apologies to VikLit for being away for so long. She does a wonderful job, along with her co-hosts, of spreading the celebrations around for everyone to enjoy. 

 

Please go and visit the co-hosts if you can, where you can also find the linky list and see what all the rest of us are celebrating:

Today, I'm celebrating:

• making more progress in getting back into my bloggy schedule. This blog hop is one more step towards doing that.

• settling into being a family of four. After six years of just the three of us it's been weird having another little person in the house.

• my seven week old has started smiling a lot more, and making those adorable little baby noises which means she's happy. She's finding her voice, which she'll need living with her big sister!

What have you got to celebrate this week? Please do share and help spread the happiness.

Have a great weekend everyone!
