  1. Lots of reasons to be happy there. It's great to hear you managing to reduce your tablets. I know it's only though your blog etc but I think your doing a great job of being a mum.

    Oh and well done for tacking AtoZ again. I want to one of these years but can't commit to blogging every day at the moment. Too much else going on.

  2. Everyone should make a list like this at least once a year. It really gets us to focus on the many good things in life. Surprised and pleased to see your mention of pen pals - I didn't think anyone did that anymore. I had 1 in Germany and 1 in South Africa when I was a kid, and we exchanged letters for several years. I wish that they had kept up with the correspondence, but they both faded away during our high school years.
