You know something fab about the All The Small Things Linkup on Mummy Never Sleeps? It’s the fact that although I don’t get to link up every week, I always, always end up coming up with something I could link up, if I had a bit more blogging time in my life. *stares into the distance wistfully*
Just seeing #allthesmallthings popping up in my timeline on a Tuesday, reminds me to have a little think about what little pinpricks of light have shone through the general chaos of life in a family of five people, three jobs, a shop, a cat and of course a blog… And you know what, it doesn’t matter how crappy the week has been, there’s always something, and usually more than one something.
This week, I could tell you about the mini-runs I have been on with my eight year old, the reading ‘Ballet Shoes’ with my girl-in-the-middle, or the sleepy ‘lucky us’ that my youngest whispered after I kissed him goodnight. All precious moments, and all too easy to forget and treasure.
So that’s why this week, my Small Thing is actually a Big Thing – and it’s actually this here linky!
Thanks Cas for coming up with the idea, and for helping me remind myself – and loads of others too – that it’s not all crap out there! x x x

In total agreement, I love this linky for making me see things that could easily be missed otherwise

It’s such a lovely book. The BBC did a really great adaptation a couple of years ago too which I really enjoyed though at the time my girl was too young to be interested.

I love the whispering too, not so much the middle of the night yelling in their sleep, always gives me such a shock!

I love this! The small things in life really matter…but noticing them amongst the rush is often a challenge. I am currently sitting in the spring sunshine getting my fix of other people’s blogs…the small joys in life 😉

Lovely ‘small things’ to remember. My eldest has just been reading Ballet Shoes and she loved it. I know how you feel about not having the time to blog . I have so many posts ‘in waiting’ it’s untrue! #blogclub

The ‘small things’ in life really do make up the big things in hindsight – the things that really matter and the things we should take time to try and remember 🙂
