In just one week this little girl will reach double figures, yes in one week my baby girl will be ten. Yesterday she celebrated with friends, ice-cream, cupcakes, laughter and games. She has such wonderful friends who adore her, and who she adores just as much. I remember when she started kindergarten and she refused to talk to any other children. Her shyness held her back and I worried so much if she would ever be able to enjoy having friends. Luckily she was so well liked, the children that surrounded her just wouldn’t give up on her, and although it took 3 terms, eventually she was playing happily with her kinder friends.

She started school without anyone from kinder, and again I worried, yet again children surrounded her and persisted with her shyness. My sweet girl is still quiet, and a mystery for the most part, yet when she is comfortable with who she is with she comes alive, she truly shines. She is quirky and funny and I am so proud to be her mummy. To see her surrounded by all these amazing friends who could see her fun spirit even before she showed it just makes me so happy. My little girl is so loved, I couldn’t ask for more.

As a mum I know I have so much to teach my daughter, yet she also teaches me so much. She has taught me that you can’t always rush things, that you have to be patient, and she has taught me that when you let your true self shine there will always be people there to love you.

The most clicked upon post from last weeks link up was from Meme and Harri with ‘Do you ever feel overwhelmed?’  This post received so many clicks that I think it truly shows how many of us feel overwhelmed with life. We really need to take time to look after ourselves, and support one another. If you haven’t already, please take a read of this great post, and share some #mg love.

My personal favourite post was from Meme and Harri also, looks like we were all thinking alike this week.

Rules for #mg are simple. Please read and comment on my HOST POST. Read and comment on at least 2 more that grab your attention, please share on Twitter using #mg. One post per person, and please make sure you display my badge, thanks xx
