Mama's happy list

Sometimes, it's easy to get caught up in the everyday, and it's nice to remind myself  of the amazing moments that make my heart sing. Here are just a few...

* Family game nights
* Clean plates at dinner
* Bubble bath afros
* Trick or Treating
* Playing in the park
* The smell of a freshly bathed baby
* The moment they finally fall asleep after fighting it FOREVER
* Nativity plays - 5 year olds in angel wings and tea towels on their heads singing "Away in a Manger"
* Amazing school report/parent's night pride
* The smell of Play-doh
* The happy face when Daddy comes home
* The way a newborn opens and closes their fist
* "How many sleeps?"
* Being confident enough to go out without a huge bag of gubbins
* Sitting in PJs at 9pm on a saturday night and knowing there's nowhere else you'd rather be
* Milk drunk smiles 
* Baby tights that are far too big
* The way they say "Yessssss!" when you tell them you've cooked their favourite dinner
* Seeing your new baby for the first time
* Believing in Santa again
* Sloppy baby kisses
* Marvelling at their eyelashes when they sleep
* Knowing that this is the best job I've ever had
* That "lippy oot" sad face when a newborn is about to cry
* The way your heart skips when they clutch your hand
* Watching them play together
* Homemade birthday/christmas/valentines/mother's day cards
* How seeing them in a onesie, no matter how old they are, makes you want to smoosh them into your lap for a cuddle
* Living room discos
* Mastering a "no-bumps" ponytail
* Making sandcastles
* Watching them dance when they think you're not looking
* "I love you, Mummy"
* Dimply knuckles
And many, many more! What's on your happy list?
