Friday Frolics Linky, 5th May 2017

 

Hello,

 

I hope that you have all had a fabulous and funny week. I now have just over one week before the Moonwalk marathon! Eeeeks. Therefore, I am looking for all of you to distract me with you funny posts. No pressure.

 

Our Friday Favourites

 

My favourite post: Mums on the edge – When shopping got ugly  I am so relieved that I am not the only one having a retail crisis. Topshop is longer my temple (the music is too loud for a start). I now find that I am too old for the camel toe leggings that Top Shop stocks, but I’m not yet ready to embrace the M&S sensible trouser! What are we to do people?

 

Claire’s favourite post:  It’s The Drama – 7 Things New Parents Should Avoid Saying:  The voice of experience.  This post really made me giggle.

 

Lucy’s favourite post: It’s a Drama – Busted by My Teenager. Are mums compulsive liars? Maybe a bit! Should we try to tell the truth more? Probably. Have I ever suggested my kids  look in a drawer during the search for something I have thrown away? Yes!

  • It’s fair to say that I inhaled this novel by @hotpatooties. At the core of this novel is a great message - don’t follow the herd. I took that message a little too far when I was determined to find the perfect herd of Jersey cows so I could get a photo of me stood in front of them reading this novel. Those cows must have heard/herd (😉) I was coming because I couldn’t find a single cow on the island. I had to settle for this flat-lay instead. Pfft. Head over to the link in my profile to find out what I thought of this novel. This is one feisty feminist read! Now I had better moo-ve onto the next book from #mnbookclub.

  • Over on the blog I’m reviewing our Christmas Caribbean cruise with @pandocruises on the #Azura. Link in profile. This photo is from when we visited Nevis Island and Youngest tried some Caribbean chicken. It blew her socks off but she loved it 🤣. . . . . . . . #instatravel #travelblogger #ilovetotravel #travelwriter #travelgram #postcardsfromtheworld #trip #ilovetotravel #writetotravel #igtravel #instago #travelpics #worldcaptures #worldplaces #thisisthelife #caribbeancruise #caribbeancalling
  • Nope, I'm not constipated, this is my attempt at a selfie.🙈 I hate having my picture taken and this grimace was my attempt at looking either sultry or smiley. I can't remember now. I also need to work on my selfie-taking location, the car (I wasn't driving, obviously!) isn't the best location. However, there is a reason why I have put myself in front of the camera. I'm talking about how I have been feeling, because sometimes it's good to talk, don't ya think? Anyway to find out more you can read my post, link in profile. I hope you have all had a lovely Easter weekend xx
  • What’s that over there? It’s the Easter holibobs. Easter is nearly here and that gives me to two weeks to eat the mini Easter egg mountain. I have found all of the best activities and days out that are taking place in Jersey this Easter, link in profile. What are your plans this Easter? I will be trying not to eat my body weight in chocolate 🙈 Maybe. . . . . . .#theislandbreak #jersey #channelislands #travelblogger #worldplaces #postcardsfromtheworld #instago #countrylife #countryside
  • “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” Eleanor Roosevelt. I’ve just finished reading this novel - Still Me. I loved it in parts, but I also found it a very frustrating read at times. However, I have come away from this novel thinking about life and what I really want from it. Don’t worry I’m not going to get all deep on you 🙈. It’s just made me realise that I should spend less time being preoccupied with the past. Instead I should be focusing on the now and my hopes and dreams for the future. From now on I’m going to try and be a little bit braver 💪 and that means I’m going back to school. I explain more in my post. Link in profile. Here’s to chasing our dreams ❤️ . . . . . #booklove #booknerd #booksofinstagram #bookish #instareads #fiction #literary #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #literaturelover #bookblogger #bookaddict #bookaholic #booktastic #positivevibes #ncchomelearning
  • “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go” - Dr Seuss. Oldest is devouring books at a ferocious rate. She has just finished reading Letter From The Lighthouse by Emma Carroll. She adored it and wouldn’t put it down. We are fast running out of books though. What other books would you recommend for a nearly 9 year-old? In other news we’re under attack! I explain all in a new post.

  • It might be the first day of spring but I am still seeking sunshine and that means I am planning holidays. Getting off the rock can be expensive but I have lots of tricks and tips for saving money. I have written a post about the different ways I save money when booking a break, link in my Instagram profile. This cold weather (I have to blame something 😜) made me book a break last week. I booked a two night stay through @secretescapes ( not an ad) at a gorgeous hotel. I saved myself at least 60% off the normal price and it means I get to go back home and visit family ❤️. Head over to my post for a read. . . . . . . #caribbeancalling #travelblogger #worldplaces #travelgram #writetotravel #instatravel #postcardsfromtheworld #instago #travelpics #travelwriter #worldcaptures #igtravel #travels #pandocruises #azura #thisisthelife #documentyourdays #capturingchildhood #rememberingthesedays
  • I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kissed them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again" - Lewis Carroll, Alices's Adventures In Wonderland We woke up this morning to find snow gently falling. It wasn't much but it was enough to get a little excited about and Jersey did look pretty magical. It's blinking freezing though! . . . . . #springwhereareyou #positivevibes #theislandbreak #jersey #quotesaboutlife #jerseyci #snowy #postiveenergy

I would love to hear from you
