It’s The Little Things Linky 8/52

I won’t lie and pretend to you I’ve been super organised and had this post written days ago. It’s 1:30am on Tuesday morning and I’m just getting around to it. It’s been another super busy week here and without this linky it would be so easy for me to just carry on with my days, and forget about all the lovely little things that have happened this week, so I’m really grateful for having a reason to take some time to reflect. Plus, who needs sleep any way. 

It’s The Little Things

• Family. Growing up I wasn’t a big ‘family person’ and I really want that to be different for Dil. Last week we managed to spend some quality time with Dil’s Nanny & Grandad and his Nana, and it’s lovely to watch how much they love Dil. He really thrives when he is around them, so it’s just something that really does put a smile on my face. 
• Friends. Someone very lovely sent me a message a few days ago, asking me what was up. I hadn’t said a word to her, I hadn’t mentioned to anyone that there was anything wrong, she just knew. It really made me feel all warm and fuzzy to know she had sensed it and was there for me. I’m so lucky to be surrounded by some incredible friends and I really try hard to appreciate them all. 
• Parenting. There are so many days when I feel like I’ve failed. So many days when I’m pretty sure I am royally f*ing up. But sometimes there’s these little glimmers of hope, little things you need that happen just as you’re about to fall off the edge. Little things that pull you back and remind you that you must be getting something right. This week Dil has made me so so proud probably 100 times, by being lovely and kind and just wonderful. He comes out with these little phrases or actions and I know it’s a reminder to me that I am doing ok. 
• Mooncups. Just thought I’d throw this random one in because it truly has been a little thing that has improved my week! Look out for a whole post on my life changing menstrual cup soon!
