6 months of Blogging and 5 things that make me happy

I’ve been blogging for 6 months. 6 whole months…of me, my laptop, my camera and a whole load of imaginary friends. Bits of my history, bits of now, sadness, family life, beautiful (I hope) pictures, some silliness and a fair amount of cake along the way.

So, how to mark this auspicious occasion? It’s not been a jolly few weeks for me but after You’re Beautiful yesterday I think the blog needs a bit of a smile so I’ve taken the lovely Kate Takes 5 Listography theme of 5 things that make me happy to do so. I’ve spent ~~too much of~~ today thinking about the word ‘happy’. It’s not a word I associate with ‘me’ at the moment, it’ll come but it may take a while. So I’ve chosen 5 things that are helping me get into a better ‘place’:

Washing on the line, drying, with bright blue sky, in February

Things growing that we planted together - these daffodils were planted with the Cheetah Keeper's sister 5 years ago! Spring is on the way

Pepsi Max on special offer in the supermarket. I have a bit of an addiction!

Baking. I'm not very good with compliments but watching people look at, eat and enjoy the cakes that I make is something that baffles and delights me in equal measure

Going to the Zoo. Seeing things (like this Sloth actually moving!), feeding the children's love of learning, being outside in the fresh air and being lucky enough to see these amazing animals on such a regular basis.

Here’s to the next six months – and if there’s anything I write that you particularly enjoy, please let me know.

There’s lots of other happy thoughts over on Kate’s Listography this week – pop over for a bit more feel good blogging

Jenny blogs about life, being a mum of 2, additional medical needs, cake, gin and whatever else comes to mind. She lives with a load of imaginary friends (they're the Cheetahs in the Shoes) who are entirely responsible for her starting blogging in the first place. Expect to find photos, cake, the odd rant, stories of the imaginary menagerie, her views on being a parent and occasionally something that makes sense...
