Hello again and welcome to this week's #PoCoLo!

If you linked up last week, thank you and if it's your first time linking up, hello. PoCoLo is a nice easy link up and Morgan and I are pleased to have you here. This week you can read the full Newbie Showcase over on Morgan's blog so do pop over to find out more about Sacha who is featuring this week.

This week we've had a few days off and after a day in Birmingham at the Spring Fair looking at what we'll be buying in the shops soon, we've moved onto Norfolk for a few days. The plan has been to get out on our bikes and yesterday was a gorgeous day in this large skied county. And so my first bike ride of the year was a nearly twenty seven miler, perhaps something shorter might have been better to ease myself back in...

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.

Thanks Miranda!

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
