Post Comment Love & Newbie Showcase 5-7 February 2016

Welcome to this week's #PoCoLo and to a new month - how did February get here so quickly? 

Thanks for linking up last week, it was a busy link up last week and we welcomed several new linkers. I hope you're enjoying discovering and reading new blogs as much as I am. I'm afraid this week time has run away with me and I didn't get a chance to tweet your links, I'll try harder this week.  

My time this week has been spent putting together our 2015 photo yearbook, and as usual I'd put it off until the last minute. And as usual, it takes much longer than I expect. It seems we did a lot in 2015, more than normal and so it's more tricky than usual to choose photos to go on the sixty or so pages. MOH who "couldn't see the point of them" spent a fair amount of time looking back over the ones we do have. And so, I rest my case...

Last weekend was a busy one so I'm hoping for something more relaxed this weekend; I hope your weekend turns out just as you planned too. 

This week I'm hosting the Newbie showcase here, so let's get on...

Newbie Showcase: Miranda from Drops of Learning

My name is Miranda. I am a Christian homeschooling mom with 5 kids, ages 15 down to 1 and am married to an amazing guy. I love learning alongside my children, and whenever we have free time we like to travel and enjoy the outdoors. I have always enjoyed writing, and starting a blog was something I had been thinking about for quite a few years, but never jumped in until recently. In September of 2015 I started Drops of Learning. I share homeschooling posts, with some parenting, fitness, and essential oils thrown in. When I'm not blogging or homeschooling, I am probably reading, crocheting, or binge-watching shows on NetFlix. I love to cook and bake, but still haven't quite learned to enjoy cleaning, although I am working on it!

This year I am hoping to accomplish some big writing goals--I have a couple eBooks I want to write, and actually started writing a Novel this past November for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I have met so many amazing people through blogging, and hope to continue to build relationships with fellow bloggers and readers. 

Some of my most favorite blog posts are: 

And I also do a Fitness Friday link-up each week that runs from Friday to Monday.

Post Comment Love 29-31 January 2016

How can it be Friday again, already? Not that I'm complaining you understand...

Thank you to everyone who linked up last week it was good to see you here, Morgan and I love reading your posts and the community you're helping to build. We'd be grateful if you could help us share the #PoCoLo word and tell your friends how friendly we all are.  Remember you can link up any post you've written in the last week, it really is that simple.

If your blog is under a year old and you'd like to be featured in a future Newbie Showcase then please get in touch and we'll add your name to the list. At the moment the list runs to the end of May, but I'm sure that'll be here before we know it.

We did get to the theatre last Friday evening to see Close to You which I enjoyed; the haircut happened and I caught a cold - I'm not sure those two statements are related though. It's one of those colds where the cough is lingering, but I'm hopeful it'll go fairly soon.  

This weekend we'll be in town again on Sunday as MOH is running the 10k Winter Run. I'm not running and will probably be holding his bag somewhere warm, before being treated to lunch somewhere I hope!

Newbie Showcase: Niki from Play Travel Life

Post Comment Love & Newbie Showcase 22-24 January

Welcome to this week's #PoCoLo, it was great to have you link up last week. If you're new here then remember you can link up any post from the last week that needs a bit more love. The #PoCoLo community is renowned as a friendly one, so you can be sure the post you're proud of will be given the love it deserves. Morgan and I are pleased to have you here.

Last weekend I did get to see some of the installations at Lumiere London, despite the crowds and I've shared that as my post this week. Today I have a day off from work and am having a much needed haircut - oh the glamour, hey?  I won some theatre tickets in a competition and we're hoping that we'll be sitting in the theatre later this evening.

This week I'm hosting the Newbie showcase here, so let's get on...

Newbie Showcase: Poppy from A Sunny Island

Hi everyone, really nice to be here! I’m Poppy (stationery obsessive, nap fan, fringe needs trimming), and I’ve been writing over at A Sunny Island for the last year and a half or so. Just writing that feels mad because it still feels very new and like I’m figuring out what I want to write about.

I made a big life change nearly three years ago when I moved from London to the Isle of Wight to have our son Arlo (banana fan, alphabet singer, friend to elephants), and I started A Sunny Island to document the things we got up to here by the sea. What started of as a mixture of posts about adventures in parenting and lots of cute baby pics has evolved over time to cover more interiors posts too, as we have made changes to our little home along the way.

Here’s some of my favourite posts from the last little while:

Thanks for reading - and thanks so much Vic and to Stephanie and Morgan for having me here - I’ve loved reading and discovering new blogs through #PoCoLo over the last year.
