Welcome to Sunday Showcase, where I highlight one of my favourite blogs, recommend a few of the posts I enjoyed reading this week and capture a moment that made me smile.
After taking a couple of weeks off to enjoy April vacation with the kids I’m back with some wonderful posts and finally, some signs of spring!
A blog I love…
Wild About Here is beautiful blog. I first discovered Kriss’ writing when she was based in the US, and her blog was called Over There to Here. It was lovely to read the adventures and thoughts of someone who was also living away from home, and making the most of her time while doing so, just like we were.
Kriss and her family have since moved back to the UK, and the blog has been rebranded to reflect that with a new name, but what drew me to Kriss’ blog in the first place hasn’t changed.
She takes the most amazing photographs, of her gorgeous twins and their outdoor adventures and of the natural world around her. Whenever I sit down to read her blog, I grab a cuppa and sit back, relax and get lost in her words and images.
If you haven’t already discovered Kriss’ blog here are a few suggestions to get you started! Some dreamy shots of spring , some fascinating facts about bluebells and some thoughts on fleeting moments.
A post I loved…
Blogging is a funny old game. Full of highs and lows. This post about the stuff nobody tells you about blogging, from the wonderful Renee over at Mummy Tries, really struck a chord.
Jenny over at Unremarkable Files is always a good read, and this post about the dilema of whether to give to people begging, or do something more practical instead, is a case in point.
One of my favourite bloggers, Suzanne from 3 Children and It, shared a brave, inspiring and hugely important post last week about her daughter. This is a must read.
A moment I loved…
It’s been a busy few weeks! Great fun, lots of laughs, but a bit of a whirlwind. With vacation, two business trips for my husband, sick kids, spring sports starting, the usual school projects and upcoming exams for the 9yo. Lots to do!
And with snow at the beginning of the month, lots of rain and temperatures that have continued to feel horribly wintery, it’s been tough to take a moment and breath at times. It’s been head down, get on with it.
But, this week there have been blue skies and blossom to make me look up. It’s felt like a long time coming, but definitely worth it.
So, there we have it. Week 7 of Sunday Showcase… I will be back next Sunday, sharing more great blogs with you!
I totally agree with you about Kriss’ blog – I always find it so beautiful. I hadn’t seen Suzanne’s post – thank you for highlighting it, I have just gone over and read and commented xx
Kriss’ blog is wonderful, isn’t it. Susanne’s post was an important one x
I have subscribed cheers x
Oh, that’s lovely! Thank you :) Will be over to have a read of your blog too xx
Your not joking when you say Kriss’ photography is amazing. It’s absolutely dreamy! Lovely showcase and I’ve found a new blog to follow, thanks!
Dreamy really is the word, isn’t it :)
Oh I love this. I love finding new blogs to read and so I’m off to check out your suggestions. Hope you’re well xx
Thank you, and I’m really good, thank you x
What a beautiful photo! I enjoyed the post on Mummy Tries too. I posted something on my Facebook page the other day and it was shown to 19 people!!
Facebook is a complete nightmare, I really don’t know why I bother sometimes :)
I just came back home feeling absolutely shattered after another full day out this May Day long weekend and then I read your Sunday Showcase. My tired and grumpy mood instantly vanished. Thank you so much for your too lovely recommendation about my blog/photography. One of the things I have loved about our blogging world is the connections with writers like you. It also made such a difference for me when I was in the US having someone else understanding and going through similar changes abroad. And talking about recommendations I adore the posts you’ve suggested as a good read (in fact I also just went and gave a bunch of likes to Mummy Tries FB page too). And to top it off a beautiful photo reminding us of the glorious colours of spring.
You are very welcome Kriss! Connections are one of the best things about blogging, but it’s easy to lose track sometimes. Writing these posts is really fun, and a lovely way for me to reconnect. Hope you’re having a good week x
Thanks for highlighting some blogs i have never heard of :)
You’re welcome!
