Lovely to see you here, I'm just back to keeping it simple this week and sharing a few things that have made me smile this week.
* The visa came through for my trip to Belarus next week with Operation Christmas Child. I just need to get some currency Friday and pack and I think I'm all ready. No stressing this time and no time to think about being nervous!
* I hit 4000 twitter followers last night. I was trying to fathom why this makes me smile, as logically I know it won't change my life and it doesn't mean I'm any better than I was before but I realised it does mean that I can disseminate my message just that bit further and that is a good thing.
* I made some animal Christmas decorations with my girls yesterday after school and we had such good fun.
* This weekend before I go away the kids will write their letters to Santa and we will decorate the trees - a nice coordinated one for me and one they can put whatever they like on, you know the type - more is definitely more!
* The kids have friends coming round after school on Friday and I am actually looking forward to it. The little ones are bringing their Mum and she seems a really nice lady, so I'll enjoy getting to know her more.

Link up and let me tell you something nice I learnt yesterday from Brent Riggs, the guy who developed an downs Linky Tools. Each time you enter a link up you get a follow backlink for your blog, so that's all good for building your pagerank!
