Brides Up North: Count Your Blessings

.

.

Last week, feeling relaxed after an anniversary break with my hubby, I sat down and drew up a happy list: the ten things making me happy right now.

.

I asked you lovely lot to take a break from the harum scarum of everyday life and wedding planning to sit back, smell the roses and spend a moment counting your own blessings.  The response to my call for your happy lists has been huge – and I can’t tell you what a delight it has been reading all your submissions, both from wedding industry friends and my bride to be readers.  Each email is like a little dose of inbox sunshine.  I will try to feature a happy list on the wedding blog every week from now till Christmas, so keep checking back for the feel good factor.

First up, it’s Rebecca Aspin from Sell My Wedding, with the ten things that make her smile the most.

Rebecca writes: Writing this list came at the right time as I am currently feeling the weight of juggling work, motherhood and a new business. Writing this has made me take stock of what’s important. Here is my list of things that make me happy, in no particular order:

.

.
1 Wrapping up for family walks on Beverley Westwood with our golden retriever, Sonny, and picking up sticks on route for the fire…

.
2 Lazy Sundays, the papers, a roast dinner, red wine and an 80’s film in front of the fire

.
3  The beautiful views on my commute through the Yorkshire Wolds and my daily glimpse of the sea

.
4  Helping spread the joy of pre-loved wedding items via
www.sellmywedding.co.uk

.
5  The world through the eyes of my two year old son, Will

.
6  Craft evenings with the supper club girls

.
7  The upcoming wedding of one of my best friends, means lots of planning and celebratory time with my oldest and dearest friends

.
8  Wednesdays – my day off – and the fact that Will calls it Mummy day!

.
9  A rare night out with my husband, eating pizza and drinking red wine whilst planning our next holiday

.
10  A beautiful autumnal day, wrapping up warm and feeling the sun on my face!
