I’m Naughty but Happy!

This was a reply from my 3 year old daughter yesterday as she destroyed the living room with fervour. She then went on to lock herself firmly into our bathroom and managed to get into all my Occitane high-end face creams before I could open the door with a bread knife! (Husband not available for Emergency DIY at this point) I said to her “Ava, you are naughty” and she replied quite confidently “Don’t worry mummy, I’m not naughty, I am happy”.

How can you argue with that? (See picture – they are hard to say NO to most of the time)

I can’t blame her, she’s had a tough week. She was in a car accident with her father and sister on Monday (they are all ok! Thank Goodness), then her sister got fever and now she has a cold. Plus mummy doesn’t let her eat chocolate all day so life is hard! No, but seriously the point of this blog is just to remind you that no matter how positive and upbeat you are. Life likes to throw little or BIG reminders at us to WAKE UP and appreciate this wonderful life. We all get busy and some times being a parent or partner isn’t easy. I have had a couple of robust discussions with my lovely husband this week. Then when the car accident happened it put everything BACK into PERSPECTIVE and reminded my how lucky our family is and that nothing more serious happened. We had lots of fab messages and well wishers after the incident so yet another sign of being fortunate to have people that care about you.

I care about you too hence feeling the need to write this post today. Don’t get too busy to LOVE, Don’t get too busy to care and celebrate today with people you care about! Treat yourself to a bottle of champagne or the food that you enjoy and share it with those close to you. Do something you love doing even if its ‘naughty’ – as long as you are ‘happy’ it counts. Have an amazing day xx : ) Amanda
