Reasons to be cheerful (week 2)
13:56
What has made me happy this week? Hmmm.
1) The kids went back to school Tuesday! While I love them being home, not having to rush around and fit everything in while they're at school.. not to mention the schools runs was lovely but gosh, I was pleased when they DID get go back and for the holidays to be over. It's nice to be able to get back into routine and get organised again! Although I miss them a lot when they are at school, it's taking some getting use to being back in routine again.
2) I brought the paint for the boys bedroom! YES!! Gonna start that tomorrow. It's a nice sky blue colour. Can not wait to get it painted and organised for them. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for an off cut carpet for there room as they only have a small room.
3) I finally found my e-reader, it's been missing for a while and I had missed it SO much. I downloaded a few books, plus I already have ones on there that I haven't read yet. Hopefully next week I'll get back into reading again, yay! I am taking part in the 50 books challenge (my aim is to read 50 books this year!).. Here is my booklist (to read) so far: bookklist.
4) I have given my blog a new look! Do you like it? I really love it! Julie made my header etc. It looks all fresh and new! A good way to start the new year, hehe.
Overall, a really good week. :-) I hope you all had a good week too!
