THIS SATURDAY I'M GRATEFUL FOR... SORE MUSCLES + ROYAL TITLES.


Is it really the weekend already? Oh my, how the week has just flown. I'm sure I missed a whole day. But perhaps that's because I'm extremely grateful for...
  1. More sleep. Although I'm getting up three to four times a night with a child who isn't wetting his bed anymore (let's celebrate!), I'm tired from the amounts of broken sleep thanks to my four year old's bladder. But a few nights at hopping into bed at 9:30pm sure has me bouncing out of the bed a bit more during the night rather than dragging my feet.
  2. Sore muscles. So, I joined the gym on Thursday. And it feels fabulous. Okay, well, I don't exactly feel fabulous. More sore. But that can only mean good things for my body, right?
  3. Royal titles. Even though it's been a whole week since The Royal Wedding, we're still hearing all about it (thanks to Pippa's bum, the honeymoon, the googlesphere...). I'm still relishing in our Royal Food Club held during the live screening of Kate & Wills exchanging vows. So, above is the amaaaazing table setting thanks to this month's host, Julie. And there were even name cards for our places. One could become use to being called Lady Kym of Croydon.
What are you grateful for today?

  2. Congratulations Lady Kim on joining the gym, it's amazing how body pain can actually be a good feeling.

  3. When did you start potty training your son at night? My daughter is potty trained during the day but I still put her in diapers at night...nervous to tackle that one!!

  4. Wow. That looks like a dinner party I'd like to attend!!!

    I have a 4yo as well. He is still wearing a nappy, as he just wasn't waking and was getting up with a leaky pull-up many mornings. Got tired of washing sheets, so back on with the nappy it is! He'll get there.

    Oh, and I love the sore muscles feeling - makes me feel like I've really worked it!

    Enjoy Mother's Day.

  9. Oh Lady Kym, who enjoys the gym, have a wonderful weekend!! I rejoined the gym at the start of the school year, it's addictive & no one can call me, or ask for anything, i get in my zone & go go go. It's my healthy head space, not to mention great for the figure, but it really gets tension out, stress be gone, as per today's post. Love Posie

  11. That dinner table looks divine! Having just come through the sleep deprivation of the newborn - 18 months stage I am glad I will get a rest before night time toilet trips. My eldest daughter was dry day and night by age 2 and 2 months (her decision!),baby number two wet the bed until she was 7 (runs in homme's family) so I am in no hurry with baby 3.
    Today is my running day - yippee!

  15. I love sore muscles! Just joined the gym three weeks ago and am loving it. I'm sleeping like a baby and my skin is glowing. Amazing how quickly your body responds to it, and definitely worth every sore muscle along the way! :)

  16. Totally feeling your sleep deprivation woes, as I have a three year old who gets up a few times a night for no particular reason...I'm so with you on a early bedtime, although mine seems to be creeping up lately - last night it was 10!

  17. Hi Lady Kym of Croyden..are you aware yet that you are the winner of my 'Garden Eclipse' cushion..that will look wonderful on the royal couch in the palace? I do need the royal address though so I may send it to the royal residence!

  18. Oh Lady of Croydon sounds lovely!!! love your grateful, especially for getting some sleep! I'm not a morning person at all and tend to drag myself out of bed to very early risers, but it's all in the attitude i've discovered!!! hoping your having a lovely mothers day! xx

  19. At least your wee fella (pun!) is waking you to go to the toilet... that's a very good thing indeed. x

  20. I hear you on the sleep deprivation front, but for different reasons (too many 'to do before we move to Switzerland' lists and a husband who has started snoring again.

    I'm grateful that we've been given the opportunity to go and that I'll be doing it with the best bloke and girl in the world.
