A Handwritten Post

My kitchen table / writing desk /workshop

I got this idea for a handwritten post from Sarah at the wonderfully-named blog Whimsical Mumblings. At first I was a little confused by the idea but as I read Sarah's post I realised what she meant about how individual our handwriting is. You get a bit more of a feel for the person than you do purely from typed writing. So, read on and if you can't understand my writing, sorry. Leave me a comment and let me know. This is my standard, everyday version, not my filling out forms or putting inscriptions on books handwriting, I'm afraid.  

Could you read it? I hope so. Leave me a comment and let me know whether I need to improve my hand.

Blog Post Ideas for the Frazzled Parent

The other day in my Bloglovin subscription e-mail there was a link to 150 blog post ideas. Thinking that 150 ideas from one person is quite a lot, I clicked on the link and scanned the list. As I scanned, I realised that these are obviously mostly for people who have two things I don't:
a. Time
b. No children

My train of thought went a little something like this: No. 62, Pamper Night - Pamper? Isn't there an s missing? 
No. 69, How You Achieve Clear Skin - well, never having the time to apply make up helps a bit.
No. 80, working out at home - yeah, I do that. The hanging-the-clothes-on-the-line stretch, the picking-up-toys lunge, the-ouch-I-stood-on-lego-in-my-bare-feet hop, the mad-dash-after-a-toddler sprint.

So here's my alternative list. Blog Post Ideas for the Frazzled Parent:
1. What I'd do with half an hour undisturbed "me time"
2. Books I plan to read
3. Films I wanted to see in the cinema but probably won't watch till they make it to TV
4. Description and photos of the untidiest room in the house
5. This week I miraculously found time to paint my nails / dye my hair / read a book / ... here's how it was.
6. Best mammy moment of the week 
7. Best hubby moment of the week
8. Best kiddie moment of the week
9. The pile of unread / unfinished books beside my bed
10. On my bedside table you'll find. ..
11. Five things in the kitchen that don't belong there
12. My go-to weekday dinners
13. This week's most surreal moment

14. This week's tantrum was caused by...
15. What I really should be doing instead of typing right this minute

And on that note, I'll go back to being mammy now. Happy blogging!
