10 things that have made me happy this week

1. Arlo just becoming the best little guy to hang out with- he’s so funny, with a brilliant sense of humour already, and even though this age is hard work I love how much he’s learning and taking in all the time.
2. An increasingly raucous cheese and wine night on Friday with friends at mine- we laughed so much and even though we had sore heads the next day it was worth it!
3. A promising house viewing at the weekend- fingers crossed they get back to us.
4. Freddie playing so well at his first football league match of the season. His team lost, but they all played brilliantly and I think that in a few games time they’ll be a great side.
5. Watching Harry Potter with Sasha under a blanket during a lazy Sunday afternoon- we’re looking forward to watching number 3 this Saturday, just hoping it’s not too scary for her!
6. Banana loaf with banana icing baked by Freddie and Adam- perfect with a cup of tea.
7. Getting into more of a routine now the kids are back at school. I love them being off for the summer, but it feels good to not be behind with work now!
8. Adam and I starting the second series of Ozark- love autumn telly!
9. Also, autumn dressing- just love layers. 
10. Pink gin- maybe i’m a cliche, but it’s sooooo good!
