The end of another week is here. The pleasure of a 3-day weekend (albeit the LAST Bank Holiday for SOME TIME) should have us all smiling into our tea cups despite the rain which is pitter-pattering down on our roofs.
When I peruse the blogosphere each week, I tend to seek out bloggers who make me smile, in particular. I love thought provoking posts and posts that make you go "Hmmmm" as well but I do enjoy visiting the blogs of bloggers who really love writing and don't get stuck in the muck that sometimes goes along with the parent blogging world.
This week's BritMums Blogger of the Week is one of those such bloggers. She is an exceptionally positive person who obviously loves being a Mum, writes with wit and creativity and takes some rather lovely photos as well. She's an avid participant in The Gallery and Silent Sunday and can often be found on Twitter brightening people's days.
I give you...Nicki Cawood of Curly & Candid! Just look at her smiley face on her header and you know that you're in for some wonderful reads!
I particularly love Nicki's post from earlier this year where she delves into mummy blogging with This is what a Mummy Blogger is...Right? Spot on description there Nicki! And look how lovely and generous Nicki is with her praise of other bloggers in Bottom-kissing Nicki Style! The only bit that concerns me on that post is the photo! Ack!
We love how Nicki is attempting to get some work-life balance with Reclaiming the Weekend. Perhaps we all can learn a lesson or two from Nicki on this one! One of our favourite posts of Nicki's, however, is her incredibly strong and inspirational Don't Criticise my Parenting Choices! I Won't Apologise! **round of applause Madame!**
So add Nicki's Curly & Candid to your regular reading rota. It's definitely a fine way to brighten your day!
Have a wonderful Bank Holiday Weekend and just keep blogging!
