Shiny Happy People

My Happy People are incredible, I look at them and just feel overwhelmed with love for them. They make me happy, sad, they make me laugh and cry and sometimes they make me shout! Why do my Happy People annoy me at the most inconvenient times in the day? LOL.

I make every day as special as I possibly can for them, when its their birthdays, it's an event that takes over a whole month, for my Happy Son, a play date with his bestest friends to an adventure playground, for my Happy Daughter, a picnic at home in the evening which consists of a white table cloth laid out on the lounge floor, linen placemat, food, drink and candles, always candles.

So simple and yet so effective and the way I know that my Happy People love this? They tell me..and that is when I am reduced to tears of happiness, sadness, joy and love.

Lost and Found

Our very lovely friends (thank you Mr and Mrs B) gave our son a book one Christmas. I was not sure even I would like it, never mind my son, who was only a year old. One night, he wouldn't settle (which was probably a usual occurence in our household!) and I wondered whether I should read him this book. I hesitated only because it was not a conventional bed time story, as I later and gratefully discovered.

The story truly mesmerised my son and those who know me will realise that I am very animated when reading to my children, I make all the sounds that are portrayed in the book, in fact, I become one of those people who becomes the characters (not as hardcore as maybe Peter Sellers would have done) I truly believe in my natural ability for acting LOL

Anyway, the story is so very lovely and my son and I always hug one another during the book, when you read it, you will know why. The book, story and author have become firm favourites of ours and although my daughter feels a little left out about what the book/story means to my son and I, she has become to love it too.

Apparently, there is a movie to be made...

 

BUT you must, simply must read this to your children...read it for yourself even...!

Mr Jeffers, you truly are a gifted author, thank you

Happy People

My HP are amazing, they love food, music, family, art, LIFE!

At the moment, its music, my son loves Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall part II (he is not even 10 years old yet).

My daughter loves Justin Bieber (JB) - dont we all?! He is sugary sweet and so so bad for you who would ever admit to liking that!
