Blogs I’ve loved this month – April 2017

I feel as if I’ve not read as many blogs this month as I normally would.  I think the Easter holidays threw me off my routine a bit, but in a good way as I was spending more time with my family rather than on the computer.

When I stopped and thought about it though, I realised that I might not have read quite as many posts as normal, but I’ve still read some fantastic ones!

So here are some of the blogs I’ve read and loved in April.

I’m sorry if I fooled you…

I absolutely loved this post from Five little doves.  You may well have seen it being shared on Facebook because I think it hit a nerve with quite a few of us.  If you haven’t read it yet, go and take a look as in it Laura talks about how the life we show on social media is normally just the highlights.  We post photos of the best bits of our days, and then we go and look at other people’s photos of the best bits of their days.  And even though we know our photos don’t tell the whole story, we so often fall into the trap of believing that other people’s lives are as perfect as the photos they post on instagram.  We’re all fooling each other aren’t we!

35 before 35 bucket list

I don’t know what it is about other people’s bucket lists, but I really enjoy reading them!  And this one in particular from Emmageddon interested me because I will be 35 this summer.  As you can probably guess from the title, it’s a list of 35 things Emma wants to do before she turns 35.  Now, she’s got a bit longer left than I have to tick things off her list, but it has inspired me!

What does co-parenting success look like?

I always enjoy the posts that Pen over at The single swan writes, they’re always so open and honest.  This particular post is about how we define success in terms of co-parenting.  I have a lot of respect for people who manage to co-parent their children, and I think ultimately if parents are making decisions based on their child’s wellbeing then they should consider themselves successful.  What do you think?

This is my perfect body

I’ve been following Amber’s blog since it was Goblin child, and have always loved her writing and her photography.  Her blog is now Meet the Wildes, and is focused on her gorgeous family.  In this particular post Amber wrote about carrying her twins, and how doing so has changed her body.  It’s a really beautiful piece, with equally beautiful photos.

4 quite different posts this month, but I really loved all of them.  Hopefully you’ll find something new in here to read, and maybe a new blog or two to follow!
