Taking A Break From Blogging

It has been less than a month since I last blogged. Although, it feels like longer. I’ve also missed opportunities when I would have normally blogged – World Mental Health Day and Baby Loss Awareness Week. I didn’t intend to take a break from blogging. It just happened. Yet, I’m not surprised it occurred. Taking A Break From Blogging Disillusioned With Blogging I’ve been blogging for over five years and during those years I’ve had many highs and lows. There…

I’ve been a blogger for a long time now, and during that time I’ve read some amazing blogs written by people that I now consider friends. I’ve read blog posts that have made me cry and others that have made me laugh. Writing that’s inspiring and writing that’s educational. These are words on a screen that have made me feel less alone. That have reached out and given me a virtual hug when I needed one. They’ve helped me realise…

Am I Inspiring?

“You’re so inspiring.” These are words that I often hear because of my blog. Normally after I’ve written a post about being a mother with mental ill-health or surviving baby loss. Yet, inspiring is not a word I would apply to myself. I didn’t enter the world of blogging with the intention to inspire. Instead, I became a blogger for selfish reasons. Am I Inspiring? I started blogging back in 2012. I’d been signed off work for three and a…

I’ve been a blogger for over five years now. During that time, I’ve read some amazing blogs written by people I now consider friends, and I guess, colleagues. And as a result, the list of my favourite bloggers has grown and grown. I’ve read posts that have made me laugh and others that have made me cry. Writing that’s inspiring and writing that’s educational. Words on a screen that have made me feel less alone. That have helped me realise…

I am back with my second vlog. Once again, I am taking part in Vlog Club and this month's prompt is to share my top five favourite books. It has been almost impossible to limit it to just five books. I love reading and before becoming a mum I used to read a book a week. There is so much wonderful literature out there that I love. And there were many other books that I could have included in this list. If…

Vlog Club – My Top Five Beauty Products

A logo for our Vlog club_a film clapper board with the title Vlog club_this post is my top five favourite books_mrs H's favourite things

I wouldn't count myself as a vlogger. I have only made one other vlog. We decided that it would be easier to vlog regularly if we set ourselves a theme. And so the idea behind Vlog Club and sharing our Top Fives was born. The theme will change every month and August's theme is My top five beauty products. Do pop back in September for my top five chick flicks! …

Happy birthday, dearest friend

blogging

Believe it or not, my blog is three years old. I wrote my first blog post on 23rd March 2012. In March 2012, I had just returned to work after 3 months off sick with depression. During my time off work, I began to see a Cognitive Behavioural therapist. She suggested that I start writing a blog as a form of therapy. When I am low, I struggle to remember the things in my life that bring me happiness.  I…

Santa blog hop

I am lucky enough to have some amazing blogger friends. Katie, from Life on Vista Street, is one of these fantastic women. Towards the end of October she asked a number of us if we wanted to be involved in a Santa blog hop or 'not-so-secret' Santa. We had a pretty rough time in October and the idea of some festive fun and frivolity sounded perfect.…
