Elmer, Birthday, and Monkeys #littleloves

This week we met Elmer (colourful elephant), celebrated Bumblebee Boy's 3rd month birthday, and had lost of fun new adventures including discovering Pippa Pig.  I am enjoying the process of maintaining a blog but wish there was more time in the week to explore some new topics besides motherhood.  Huge Happy Mothering Sunday to my fellow mums.  My mother does not have her official "Mother's Day" (USA) until May but I will still be thinking of her on Sunday.

This week has been focused on blogging, crafting, and spending time with my two loving children.  I have a daily struggle between trying to learning new skills in the blogging world but also remembering to put down my phone or iPad to give my children my complete attention.  There are moments when I am distracted looking at my phone and missing my daughter using her imagination to have a conversation with her bears.  I need work on balancing personal goals with motherhood.

I continue to read lots of interesting blogs about motherhood but I also have found a couple blogs on creating beautiful things for the home.

My favourite blog that I discovered this week was Flamingo Toes.  There are tutorials for all the items below on the website.  

Blogging, Crying and Smiling - #LittleLoves

This week has been all about re-launching my blog and learning as much as I could from others.

READ

I read lots and lots of blogs this week. I am following 575 blogs/people on bloglovin' and many interesting blog postings this past week.

The top 3 favourite blogs  this week were:

Let's Talk Mommy

Mommy Daddy Me

Oh So Amelia

These are all very inspirational and successful blogs.  I look forward to explore more blogs this next week.

I started reading When Love & Culture Collide by Jenny Rapatti of Let's Talk Mommy.  We are both ex-pats from the USA and came to England for love.  I have only gotten the opportunity to read the first couple chapters.  I sat in the living and completely ignored my husband and children for 30 minutes. It was an enjoyable read and very entertaining.  Looking forward to reading more soon.
