Inspired by a thread I saw in the marvellous www.mumsnet.com
A lush bath without my 7 year old dangling her feet in the water to “keep mummy company”.
A cup of tea or coffee in a cafe.
Spending time with my children.
Planting seeds & then nurturing my seedlings.
Reading a new book by one of my favourite authors.
Playing Fashion Story on my ‘phone.
Finding a good book for 30p in the charity shop.
Foot rubs.
Colouring-in with my sparkly gel pens.
Big grins when the small children I work with see me each day.
A tidy house (though this never happens)
Anything purple.
Anything sparkly.
Anything chocolate.
Mothering with tea, books and nature 
A cardboard TARDIS in the living room? 🙂
Oh my word! How could I have forgotten Dr Who & Discworld paraphenalia?!
I have no idea. I think I ought to take your TARDIS away as punishment 😛
Hands off! Allons y!
So important to remember these things. I had a hard day with the kids today and your post has just reminded me think about those small pleasures. Puts it all into perspective. Thanks 🙂
My daughters are now 9 & 7 & the day-to-day parenting is easier, so I can indulge myself in small pleasures again.
The emotional parenting gets harder I find though. Kids get crueler as they get older & I have to deal with hurt feelings & everyone in the whole class, apart from me, has a mobile phone.
Lovely post. I particularly like your last 3 items
Anything purple.
Anything sparkly.
Anything chocolate.
I’m with you there!
All 3 combined would be rather fabulous 🙂
