Here in Maxabellaland, Saturday is traditionally a sport, shop, sort the clothes, sweep the floors, strangle the Tsunamis (insert other ‘s’ words here – no pun intended) kinda day. But it’s nice to pause to appreciate the things in your life that are positive and affirming, whatever they may be. Thank you to all the lovely blogs that link up for yummy bloggy visits each Grateful Saturday.
This Saturday I’m grateful for…
1. Hammocks – It’s impossible to be unhappy when you’re swinging in a hammock.
2. Mermaids – I’ve been under the sea in mermaidia for the past couple of weeks preparing for Cappers’ 5th birthday party today. I’ll post on it tomorrow, but today I am grateful for the siren song and dreamy allure of mermaids.
3. Lights – It’s not until they’re gone that you realise how lucky we are to be able to switch on a light whenever we need.
PS – Have you seen Rachel from Select All + Delete around these days? I am a bit worried…

You know how I feel about hammocks, that image is sensational!
Here’s to a wonderful weekend of sugar, wild screams of delight and lots of hugs as you dance with the mermaids!

I have been wondering about Rachel as well, but haven’t heard anything. hope everything is ok

I am a hammock lover too. It is a mark of the seasons…..I love it when the hammock gets retrieved from the shed and hung up…..it marks the start of summer days…xx

Hammocks are the best part of vacations.

LOVE your hammock photo!
A mermaid party, this sounds fantabulous – Happy Birthday Cappers!
You can never have too many mermaids – so my Little Miss 4 thinks 🙂
Hope you all have a fun party.
Keshia says
I always used to pretend I was a mermaid at the swimming pool when I was younger.
Hope the birthday party goes well xx
Becky says
I wish I was grateful for hammocks. I think I saw one once… but I have never been in one. I am possibly not co-ordinated enough to use one though 😉
Can’t wait to hear all about the mermaid party!
Jade says
Mermaids! What a wonderful thing to be grateful for this Saturday.
Claire Chadwick @ Scissors Paper Rock says
Oh my goodness, I can’t remember the last time I even went on a hammock…but now you’ve got me craving a moment to kick back with a book {and a cocktail lol} & swing relaxingly in a hammock on a warm Spring day!! I may be on a mission now to source a hammock for our back patio lol.
Great list of things to be grateful about! Can’t wait to see party pics!
