This post is to link up with Super Amazing Mum,
who has launched something brand new called #PAPS.
Short for Pimp a Post Sunday.
Her reasons for setting this linky up are lovely and I applaud her for doing so.
I hope the blogging world supports this, as it is wonderful to share our good reads.
I hopped into bed last night and via Twitter discovered this fab post; - phone was still on - and I hopped over. I hope you'll agree that it is fab.
What inspired the blog author was receiving a credit card and its terms & conditions; a credit card she has no intention of using. It provided the creative juice to blog: Terms and Conditions Apply. (Interestingly in the URL she calls it subject to contract). I think, despite this blogger being *new*, she is one to watch. I think you'll agree she has a gift with words - certainly worthy of your visit and being linked up to #PAPs.
When I awoke this morning, I remembered I needed to write this post. I remembered that I personally wrote only yesterday about how tough toilet training toddlers can be, and while I was thinking all this this morning I couldn't help but remember how touched I was earlier in the week by a post by Dear Beautiful. I know Sophie hasn't said we can link up two posts, but I have to give a mention to It's Always Darkest Before Dawn
I am going through a dark phase of my life at the moment, so when I saw that blog title on Twitter on Thursday I just had to hop over immediately, on my phone, and read it. It doesn't relate to me as I have 1 not 2 children, but the place the author comes from, touched me. She is speaking from the heart and opening up about her experiences and feelings in a way that can only touch other parents.
I hope you enjoyed my #PAPS.
Bye for now,
Liska

Two fantastic posts, but the one fromDear Beautiful really struck a chord. Could have done with reading this about 4 months ago, when I had very similar feelings!
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely to hear someone is (or was) in a similar boat isn't it.
DeleteHelping our fellow Mums is so important.
Thank you for visiting

Hi Liska. I'm sorry to hear you're in a dark place at the moment. Thank you for the kind words. Sending you a big tweet hug and I'm about to hop over to Dear Beautiful. Take care xxx
ReplyDeleteYou'll have a very good read over there.
DeleteThanks for visiting

Thank-you so much for mentioning me Liska. The response I've had to that post has been incredible, with words of support and people saying they've been there. It was an easy post to write as it all sort of poured out of me, but posting it was another matter. I hovered over that publish button for a long time but I'm glad I did publish it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get through your dark patch soon. Motherhood is fantastic, but is definitely isn't easy. X
I am glad you hit publish. It resonated with so many, and for anyone also feeling like that, they now know they're not alone which is very important.
DeleteWe base so much of what we do on trying to keep up with others, but it's not always realistic.
Loved your post, Liska xxx
Two very different but very good posts - thank you Liska for joining in and being so supportive.
ReplyDeleteAbsolute pleasure x
DeleteGoing to read the two links now. I like this idea very much. And I hope you feel better soon. I haven't seen much juicing and yoga recently and I know they both make you feel good.
ReplyDeleteWill get on it. Thank you as ever my life coach xx
DeleteThanks so much for sharing these posts. Hope you're feeling better soon
