The last three weeks have been Amazing (capital A – Amazing). It has been truly wonderful to have time off with my little family to recharge the batteries; take some time to find perspective; make and create plans for this little space and to just be in the present or moment or both should the moment/present permit.. 🙂
This little blog is a special place to me – a place where I can come and share my thoughts, feelings and ramblings as a Mummy to my little guy. A place where I share bits of myself with you and bare my soul. A place where I find comfort and support from other likeminded readers. A place to nurture and a place to grow. A place to document the present so one day it can be looked back on and enjoyed again. A place for you my readers. And last but definitely not least – A place for me and a place for my family.
So during the last few weeks off, whilst it has been lovely having time off soaking up the sun and smiles from my two boys I have spent a lot of time thinking about this place, my place. I have missed it. And while I truly believe a break is good for the soul, I am excited to be back and I am thrilled to have you along for the journey.
So to officially kick off 2015, here are a couple of posts which I snuck in whilst I was taking my ‘blogging break’..
Always Made With Love’s Top 10 Posts ~ 2014
Always Made With Love’s Top 5 Recipes ~ 2014
And finally.. a bit of housekeeping
~ I have decided to post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with my posts being auto- scheduled to ‘go live’ at 6am. So if you want to read it when you first get up with your coffee or late in the evening after the kids are in bed it will be there ready and waiting for you
~ Please don’t hold me to the above schedule, I am a Mummy first and foremost and some days it may just not happen quite the way it should – my little man ALWAYS comes first
~ If you don’t want to miss when a new post goes up on the blog, you can subscribe by email. Basically when a new post goes up on the blog, you’ll receive an email containing that blog post not long after, making it super easy to keep up with what’s happening at Always Made With Love
~ is another good way to follow along with what’s happening. To never miss a notification from the Always Made With Love’s Facebook page, check the “Get Notifications” tab which you’ll find when you hover over the “LIKED” button. Also get liking, commenting and sharing to see more from Always Made With Love
~ is another favourite. Follow along , let me know so I can follow you back and we can be instafriends
~As for , I am present but not always accounted for and am still trying to figure it all out. Bare with me, I will get better but in the meantime if you follow me on other forms of social media you are less likely to miss out
