I've still not got any internet but when I DO have the internet I will be forever grateful. Life without the internet is hard. It's strange how we come to rely on such things that never existed years and years ago! I'm scheduling this post while I have access to mobile internet. I'm thankful that blogger has a schedule blog post feature, haha.

Anyway, here are my reasons to be thankful this week.

1) I am thankful for the half term. So far we've had a lovely half term. We've been to castle park again and fed the squirrels some nuts. I could have seriously spent all day just feeling them, lol. Not even kidding when I say that, I loved them, as did the little's. There was a summer fete/fair thingy on in castle park, with Go Kart rides, bouncey castles, cheer leaders and other dancing. It was a fab day.

#squirrel eating. We're feeding them. They like climbing up legs. Love them so much 💜 #nature #wildlife

2) The weather has been lovely *knocks on wood* so far this week, always a blessing when the weather is nice. I love being able to hang my washing on the line, it smells so much fresher. It's the simple things in life that make me happy.
 Even my cat has been enjoying the sunshine, bless.

3) The kids have been really well behaved. I think it helps that they can play outside safely. Riding up and down the path way on there scooters and what not! They've all made new friends and settled in really well to our new house and area. Ellie has a friend that lives a couple of doors down and they play together for hours with there scooters/bikes and dolls. :)

What areyour reasons to be happy and cheerful this week?

"Thousands of years ago, a cat purred, and humans listened. We were fascinated. Today, we're still fascinated by the purr, but in many cases, we've let our feline companions down. There are millions of homeless and hungry cats. These are but a few of the stories of the lucky ones, rescued from bad situations and given a place on easy street.

You'll be inspired, you'll be awed, and you'll say "awww" over stories about cats like these:

Ms. Sammy, the cat delivered to her "furever" home by the coroner.
Lima, the kitty with a horribly infected tail, but who never stopped purring in appreciation of her human's efforts to help her get well.
Hanuko, the rescue with two human mommies.

From tales of cats rescued from a warehouse, a barn, and even a coffee can, to heartwarming stories of feline determination and human compassion, every story in The Cat Rescue Diaries is evidence of what happens when good people seek out the purr and find their "purrfect" feline match."

 I recently read the cat rescue diaries on my kindle. I love reading animal tales, especially cats because, well, I am cat crazy! I can't even remember how long I've had this book on my kindle, I have just had zero time to read but once I started reading, I couldn't put it down, hehe.
I loved these short stories which were all true. Each story told the story of how people came about having there cats, rescuing them or cats adopting them. Needless to say, it really didn't take me very long to read this book. It's a truly lovely book, each story had a lovely ending!

What book(s) are you reading at the moment?

I was asked if we'd like to review some personalised, colourful name labels from www.mynametags.com/ for my children.

My name tags sell a variety of labels, in all different designs, it's easy to personalise your design with a cute background, icon and even change the font and font colour! The website is ever so easy to use and it's fast, too. I really enjoyed designing the labels with the children and it didn't take very long to design the labels.



Now, I personally think name labels are very important, especially for school uniform. My children are always loosing or forgetting there school jumpers or getting mixed up with blouses and shirts and even P.E kits. I couldn't wait to try these labels!  My name tags use a special adhesive glue and high quality material to print the labels on making them very good quality. The labels stick onto the name tag or the washing tag inside the clothing, in this case, I stuck Ellie's onto her school cardigan label. There's no need to sew or iron them on, they really do just stick on like a sticker! They are also quite flexible, meaning they can stick around lunch boxes etc. I'd also like to add they are machine washable, which I really, really like because they don't need to keep being replaced.
Ellie said these are beautiful name labels, she especially loves the cupcake and purple writing, bless her.

We chose a pink background for Ellie's labels with a cupcake icon, a football icon for Charlie with a green background and Harry just wanted plain name labels, him being that little bit older, I think the plain ones suited him best. The labels are ever so colourful and bold.

Charlie loves his football design labels, hehe.

I've stuck them in school jumpers, shoes, P.E kits, shirts, trousers etc. They are machine washable, they stay stuck on, even when they've been washed! They've been on the clothes three months now and they're still stuck on and brightly coloured. I even stick one on Ellie's lunch bag and I'm pleased to say, three months later - it's still stuck on and as bright as it was the day I put it on!

3 months later! Still stuck to the cardigan & looks cute!

My name tags can also be stuck onto iPods, books, DVDs, shoes and so much more!
Fifty six labels costs £11.95 and postage is £1. In my personal opinion, I think these are well worth the money! They last a long time, they don't need to replaced and they wash really well! The children also really love the design and how they look. There are SO many ways you can personalise these name tags. I would definitely recommend these labels!

I am also hosting a giveaway to win a set of My Name Tags. You can enter here.
