Towards the end of last year, I shared that I was feeling generally fed up and uninspired about blogging. Lots of lovely people shared their sympathy and suggested a break - which I duly took over the festive season. I've been thinking (and avoiding thinking) about this blog and its future for several months now.… Continue reading New Schedule
Last year I shared large boy's Christmas poem from 2020. This year I've got the one he wrote in 2021, I wonder if he's been writing one at school this year. It seems clear that the teacher tasked them with writing it in the shape of the tree, but I love the alliteration and use… Continue reading Christmas Tree Poem
In one of the last episodes of the final season of The Walking Dead (yes we've watched them all, I've had zombie fatigue at times but himself as pushed me through), Ezekiel and Negan have a discussion about how to revolt in a prison camp. They discuss fear, but ultimately decide that hope is a… Continue reading Hope
Sometimes events conspire to make something happen. On Friday I wrote about feeling fed up and uninspired and lots of people were supportive, suggesting a break might be needed. I suspect they might be right and I'm going to review what I do in the new year. However, just writing about how I was feeling has… Continue reading My Christmas Posts
I've got to confess I'm struggling with blogging lately. My inspiration is limp and floppy. I'm fed up in general, just a bit frustrated and unmotivated. I haven't got a post for today. I've got three or four drafts that are just a title but it's Thursday night, 6.30pm. Himself is about to take large… Continue reading Fed up and uninspired
Sorry folks. We've taken another holiday. The fourth this year somehow! It's very much needed after either himself or I have been away with work for most of the last two weeks, with a Scout camp, a Beavers camp, and two rugby matches thrown in too for good measure. We're a bit frazzled and ready… Continue reading On holiday (again)
I ought to be blogging but I'm playing Lego Star Wars I ought to be working but I'm doing the laundry I ought to be reading for my leadership training but I'm absorbed in detectives I ought to be running but I'm working through lunch time I ought to be making dinner but I'm hugging… Continue reading I ought to be…
The very lovely Kayleigh at Confidently Kayleigh nominated me for this back in October last year and I've been very slow responding. Sorry Kayleigh. You can see her post here. I love Kayleigh's blog and her instagram, she posts a wonderful mixture of the serious and the silly stuff. In particular, she features the realities… Continue reading The Aesthete Blogger award
We're on holiday. It's beautiful and hot and we're having a lovely time, so there's no post today. Probably not on Friday either. Also because I need to write a guest post for TBC. Normal service will be resumed next week. Have fun everyone. Xxx
So, earlier in the year I decided to take a little break from the blog while we went on holiday. It was lovely just enjoying some family time and not doing any promotion - either through Twitter threads or Facebook groups. When we came back I decided not to return to the way I'd been… Continue reading What happens when you blog less?
