Saturday is ballet day, as you know, and it is fun but also tiring. I'm always a bit cranky when I get home as it's a long day & there is a fair bit of driving/snack making/organising/referring involved. (I really need a few minutes (ie half an hour or so) to collect myself, to regroup, to unwind. But this doesn't usually happen so I just keep on trucking!)
The girls love dancing and I'm happy to support them, it's fun to watch them improve, to see them being active & creative and making new friends, away from their home town which provides so much for them too.
I know we are lucky that we can afford to give our kids these opportunities, not every one can.
And while it's important for me to be home with the kids while they are young, not everyone can afford this either. So today I've been thinking about and feeling grateful that I have the life I do.
Meanwhile, yesterday I was all ready to post about the winner of my recent giveaway but Blogger wasn't playing nice. Daisy got bored waiting and we both got a little hot under the collar. But we hung in there and Daisy put up with my raining number confetti down on her, waiting for one to land on her head.
Thanks to everyone for their comments on the giveaway post. I loved hearing the little bits & pieces about you. People are so endlessly interesting,
and we all have a story don't we?
So it's Saturday night and it's been another frosty, cold day.
We are having a roast tonight, wafts of deliciousness are winding their way through the house,
and I'm feeling nice glass of wine calling my name.
I hope you are nice & warm & cosy,
wherever you are. And thanks Maxabella for hosting today :)
See you soon xo
