I just love the timelessness of the pictures I’m sharing alongside this month’s gratitudes. They remind me of photos of myself as a toddler, sat in a washing up bowl of cool water on a warm sunny day. I’m sure the exact same scenes sit in your old family albums too don’t they?
I don’t know about you, but to me, it seemed as though April just flew by. In that way time has a habit of doing when your days are full of trips and activities. Busy but in a good intinional way. With the sun coaxing us outside, there were picnics and park visits and a beautiful long Easter weekend spent with friends and family in the gardens of my childhood. Much to feel grateful and thankful for…
- Frothy blossom everywhere.
- Our first park picnic dinner of the year.
- My own mamma coming to stay and Casper spending sweet quality time with his Granny Annie.
- Launching my newsletter (finally!)
- Baking biscuits with my little bud but deciding that we both prefer the unbaked dough so rebranding them cereal bars instead.
- Casper and his cousin’s first Easter egg hunt together.
- Planting seeds and bulbs in our little urban garden. Spending time with my hands in the earth and the smell of damp soil.
- Best friends becoming parents and getting to snuggle their two-week young squidge.
- Toddler making animal noises all day long. Moo! Baa! Quack!
- Woodland walks in dappled sunlight.
- Water play.
- Our first trip to children’s A&E being thankfully only a precaution.
- That beautiful sunshiney Easter weekend.
- Too much chocolate!
- Me and both my siblings in the same place at the same time – a rare occurrence.
- T-shirts, sunhats and the smell of lotion on warm soft skin.
What little joys did the month of April bring for you?
Oh how we love to dwell on the weather! But wasn’t April a month of two halves weather-wise though? It’s funny to think given how cold it’s been again recently that at the beginning of the month we were so sure summer had started.
