It’s always nice to know that someone other than those I’ve bribed than myself is reading this blog of mine. So it was especially lovely to receive this Great Read Award from Hot Cross Mum. If you’ve not read her Toddler Top Tens/Top of the Tots, you really must. They’ve had me laughing a little too hard on more than one occasion.
The challenge that comes with the award is to share ten things about yourself. Sally at Who’s the Mummy? shared ten happy memories, Hot Cross Mum gave it a slight twist with 10 happy places so I, of course, am going to do my own twist. I shall be sharing, drum roll please…………….
Ten simple things that make me happy:
1. Holding my children while they sleep.
2. Early morning rain pitter pattering on the window.
3. Bacon and fried egg in a big white teacake with lashings of brown sauce.
4. The heady scent of fresh white lillies.
5. Hot chocolate before bed on a cold night.
6. Misty autumn morning walks kicking up and crunching fallen golden leaves underfoot.
7. Freshly brewed milky coffee and a warm croissant with butter and orange marmalade.
8. Leafing through old photo albums.
9. Falling in love with a great book and becoming totally immersed in the story.
10. Receiving handwritten letters or postcards.
Ooooo, I’m feeling all warm inside just thinking about those.
Right, down to the business of who to pass this award on to:
- Very Bored Housewife
- Wife of Bold
- Are we nearly there yet Mummy?
- Weston Super Mum
- Carrots and Kids
- Woman at Work
- Second Time Wife
- Mary Poppins
Thanks again to Hot Cross Mum for the tag.

Aww shucks. I am fighting back real tears here, it's been a roller coaster of a day for me, the low of no cheese and now the high of an award. I love you! Mwah. xx
I have an award for you! Stop by my blog to check it out!
Thank you so much for passing this award on to me; I'm going to spend the day thinking about all the happy things now.

Loved reading this, thanks. I'm definately with you on numbers 1 and 7.
great list! you've put all the things I would have done if my memory worked. thanks for reminding me….
thanks for the comment – isnt it sad when mummydom takes over and wine and heels can no longer be part of our lives (well, not regularly anyway
)_
My list would have to include something about spending money on clothes. Says a lot about me I suppose!
These are really good, especially the food ones – with you on all of those! (they've made me hungry now…)
Thank you, I will display it with pride.
I'm almost glad autumn is here as I love walking on golden crunchy leaves too, oh and hot chocolate!
Oh thank you for the award. How lovely! Have (finally) done my list with my twist – Ten Things I Thought About At My Allotment Today (gripping, I know).
