Well when you hear of folk having a blogging break I always imagine it is because they are relaxing and smelling the roses… reading books and enjoying all those little luxuries they enjoyed in their life before blogging… Well honestly, this week I was forced to take a couple of days off and it was nothing like that.
Our internet was on a roller coaster, off and on, up and down – well mostly down. Also, I am living with a little fellow in a plaster cast and he NEEDS me and I was privileged to be there for him and baking bazillions of pretend cookies!!! And I am in the last throws of revamping all our school kit and ideas for our new school year… Yeah I am finally looking forward to that… but I missed you all… and I’m back, unless someone cuts the wire!!!
For those of you visiting our site, our Friday Fun Posts… are really a show case of the “best of the rest” posts that we have discovered in our wander through the blog world in the previous week. So enjoy the tour:
- One of the first Bible Verses I ever learnt by heart… I still remember standing up to say it as a little-one at Sunday School…
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2 Well talk about relevant: My friend, and I am so proud to call her my friend!!!, Caroline Collie, blogged this week: “Is this the Right Fight?” Oh you gotta read it!!!
- Meanwhile, I’ve had a couple of blogging questions lately – how to get started, how to keep going and so on. The best place to learn about blogging is from bloggers themselves: read and learn!!! The thing about blogging is that you have to love it to keep at it… All my best blogging friends love their blogs passionately!!! I am no different!!! I love blogging with all my heart and I was so inspired to read this post on Styling You… 7 Things I learned from Other Bloggers…

- What better way to celebrate Earth day than by “Falling in love with the World.” Imagine Childhood has come up with another must must do idea…
- At the start of summer I so wasn’t ready for a holiday, I needed to catch up with myself after the school year, but I have been sorting and tossing everyday for weeks… and summer is drawing to an end and I am ready for that holiday – a week off somewhere… Thanks to two of my faves: Bloesom Kids and Babyccino Blog… this would be a vacation for us!!! A girl can dream!!!
- And if you are looking for stuff to love then look no further than a Lego Moleskin – I kid you not there is someone in my house who would literally die for this: Seriously how cool is this!!! A LEGO Moleskin!!!
- And then I have a young chef who is so moving on from Eton Mess and is dying to make this: Vintage baking on Spatula this week: Meringue and berry roulade!!! There are a lot of advantages to living with a chef…
