togetherness

 

 I love spending time with my favourite people.

I live for spending time with my two favouritest people.

My hunky hubby

and my beautiful boy

make me get up every morning and smile.

I remember reading when I was younger

that you know that you really love someone 

when you are happy to just be,

as long as you're together.

And I definitely feel like this about my lovely boys.

Some days we can do absolutely nothing at all,

except hang out together at home,

and I will still go to bed with a big smile on my face

thinking that I'm the luckiest girl in the world;

that my husband rocks my world

and that my son lights up my life.

But I also know that happy family life doesn't just happen.

It takes effort and hard work

and sometimes means doing stuff that you really don't want to.

I know I won't look back on my life and think 

I wish I spent more time on the computer working on my blog,

but I don't want to look back thinking I wish I'd really enjoyed my family more.

So this year we have started a little mission.

A mission to make memories.

It sounds really cheesy I know,

but I want to look back at these years with our young family

and think that we lived life to the full

and gave our little guy some awesome memories.

Our mission to make memories isn't always easy.

It sometimes means rushing out of the house at weekends

when we would really like to mooch about all morning in our PJs.

It means leaving jobs that need doing unfinished,

and left to be completed another day.

But we have never once regretted our little mission

because it gives us a sense of togetherness

which we sometimes seem to loose during the week.

With a husband who is in and out of the house at all sorts of different times,

and all the different activities the little man and I go and do;

we get out of touch.

By making memories at weekends

we all touch base again.

We've been for nice walks at the coast,

we went sledging together - all three of us on one sledge,

we've done a little family photo shoot at home,

we've been to the park.

Nothing fancy or flash or expensive,

but fun.

And together.
