Bloggers Guide: The Blog/Life Balance

The blog/life balance is something every blogger will be familiar with.  Whether your life is full of toddlers and potty training or spouses that are sick of talking to you from behind a laptop, there will have been a point where the two collide.  A blogger can spend so much time blogging they have nothing to blog about (and a grumpy spouse) or so much time dealing with life issues (good, bad or indifferent) that you neglect your blog. As someone who also struggles to maintain a healthy life/blog balance, here is a basic bloggers guide to trying to get (and […]

2013 Year In Review Q&A

I love a good tag, and I think this has to be my favourite so far.  In the nearly two months I’ve been blogging (that would so weird – it feels like I’ve been blogging forever – in a good way), I have met some lovely bloggers and become an avid reader of some superb blogs.  This tag is kind of a salute to blogging, and 2013, which both deserve a special mention. I was tagged by the lovely Erika in this year in review post, which was originally started by Kerry.  Thank you both x The rules are pretty […]

I am a technological dinosaur!

Hear me roar! Well, last night I tried – ultimately unsuccessfully, to type up a blog post from my smart phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy Mega – which is my personal ultimate accessory, and I am practically attached to it. It’s really quite big, so is great for playing games, browsing blogs, pinterest etc – so I use it to wind down at bedtime, or to amuse myself during periods of insomnia without actually having to leave the comfort of my bed. The fatal flaw however, at least for me, is that I cannot type up blocks of text […]
