Huge thanks to Mich for letting me loose with her 'baby' for a second time and to the other guest hosts - A Matter of Choice, Kate on Thin Ice, Seasider in the City and Lakes Single Mum - for keeping us on the cheerful straight and narrow. 
New to #R2BC? Let me hand over to Mich for a moment:

Reasons to be Cheerful 1, 2, 3 (or #R2BC as it is affectionately known) is a simple link your blog up which is open to everyone and particularly easy for a new blogger to join in... Go on, jump right in, we are all friendly here! See? It's all super easy and fun. All you need to do is write a post about the things that have made you cheerful this week and link it up below. Great to have you on board. Read some of the other posts if you have time and share the love.

So without further ado what are my reasons to be cheerful this week?

Christmas Crafting - I love crafting, and Christmas is one of the best seasonal excuses for going craft loopy. This week I've made a snowman and a big Christmas tree out of craft paper and stuck them up in DD's play room. Over the next few weeks we're going to make baubles together out of card and paper, print off family portraits to decorate them and stick them up all over the tree.

Parenting perspectives - I've been running this series of guest posts from parent bloggers around the world for over two months now and I can't believe that so many lovely bloggers have given up their time to jot down their views on parenting for this little 'ol blog. It makes me most cheerful indeed.

New kitchen  - It's almost here! Work starts on our kitchen refresh next week and I'm so terrified at not having a kitchen for almost 2 weeks excited about it. Operation 'create a make-shift kitchen somewhere else in the house' starts today. Any tips people?

Right, over to you! Have you got reasons to be cheerful this week? Link 'em up below and get that lovely #R2BC glow!

P.S. Becky over at Lakes Single Mum is hosting Reasons to be Cheerful next week, so please do stop by her place and link up your positive vibes for us all to share. Have a great week all!
