Now most people that know me, know that I like (ok, really like) a glass of wine. This however is not going to be a post about how I am grateful for wine. Because, sometimes, I am really not grateful for wine.
The drink I am most grateful for is.... (drum roll please!) ....Milkshakes! Yes, milkshakes.
Milkshakes are like a universal symbol for the good life. My kids love milkshakes, I love milkshakes, and my husband is also partial to one every now and again. They remind me of being a kid, and of "Happy Days" and the innocence of a time gone by.
Last week I had a +1 after school, a lovely girl from M1's grade (yes a girl and they have no hang ups about hanging out together...). They normally get on well, but on this occasion, what really made me smile, is they made a milkshake together.
They negotiated what should go in it, who should put what in etc etc. For my M1, who is bit of a know it all control freak (but yes I mostly love him for it), to see him interact so seamlessly with this beautiful Miss 8 made my heart sing.
So, this week, I am grateful for drink, but especially milkshakes - chocolate of course. Click here to see who else is Grateful for Drink at the Kidspot 52 weeks of Grateful. What is your favourite flavour?
This is a blog about my life, it probably won't change your life, but I find it a good outlet. I have struggled with motherhood at various times for lots of reasons, but love my two children to bits. My husband is my rock and without him I would be lost. Like most mums, I am trying to find the balance between working, being a mother, wife, friend, school mum and whoever I am. Sometimes it all comes together really well, and sometimes well. Hope you enjoy reading my ramblings. Sooz xx
Me too, me too! Chocolate malted milkshake.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, my father used to take us to the milk shop for a 'malt' (as he calls them) as a treat. Such happy memories. x
