Welcome to ‘The List‘, THE place to link up your lists with my gorgeous co-host, Amy from Mr and Mr T Plus Three and I.
Who can link up? You can link up any post that is a list or that contains a list (by that we mean a couple of bullet points is fine). Recipes, checklists, todo lists are also fine. Posts can be old or new, all welcome and you can also link up to 3 posts.
This week I am linking How to make your blog sticky part 2 and How to curate your Instagram feed. Amy is linking up Food Photography Styling: Behind the scenes and

My favourite posts from last week were;
-
8 reasons you shouldn’t have your photo taken (and one really important reason you should) – This Glorious Life – Such a great post and a good reminder to us all to remember to get in the picture with our children.
-
Is Topsy’s Hair a Wig? – And Other Burning Questions About Topsy & Tim – Life, Love and Dirty Dishes – Claire is a super talented comedy writer and this post is a great read.
-
Having children turned me into a superhero – Island Living 365 – I loved this post from Emma, We are ALL superheros, hell yeah!
I will feature these three posts during the coming week on my Facebook page.
My list;
REAL LIFE
- Mr Hubby has been away all week and it has been very difficult at home without him.
- Baby’s behaviour has been VERY challenging and extremely exhausting.
- I have had to stop walking training for the marathon for the time being, as the Doctor suspects a Neuroma in my foot and I am waiting for a scan.
- Both Baby and I have both been ill, she has a stinking cold and I have a virus, for which the Doctor prescribed rest! Ha ha!
- Baby dressed as the witch from the Room on the Boom for her first World book day. I made her a ginger wig, a broom with frog attached, a cape and a magical wand, as I felt guilty about not making her dress!
BLOG & SOCIAL MEDIA
- I am #7 in the Vuelio Top Ten Mummy Blogs in the UK, which is bonkers, especially considering the other blogs in the top 10. Vuelio formally Cision produce very reputable rankings for all types of blogs and media publications.
- I had really good feedback about #BlogFixFriday. Here the second vlog, this time on blog conferences.
- My Mother’s Day card video went viral.
- I vlogged about My PND story and if anyone could see there way to sharing that post I would be really very grateful. I opened up in the hope of helping others, so the more people who see the vlog the better.
- My most popular blog post this week was; Do you have a non-negotiable list? I do!
- My own favourite post this week was; My PND story
- Reviews I have shared: Kiddyum Meals, Aldi Baking Range

Hope you’re feeling better soon! Great work on the Mother’s Day card video and congrats on the Vuelio Top 10 list! Thanks for hosting #TheList, I’m looking forward to reading the posts.
Sorry to hear you haven’t been well. Hope you are feeling better now. I’m off to check out your mothers day card video, congrats with that! Thanks for hosting
We love Kiddyum meals in our house – they’re just like a home cooked meal! #thelist
I saw the pic of Baby in her costume on your Instagram, she looked so cute. Hope you are both feeling a bit better now. I can’t believed you were prescribed rest. Telling a parent to rest is like saying oh you’ll be fine if you just go to Mars for a week! Thanks for hosting #TheList
Debbie
Thank you so much for featuring my post from last week! I loved the costume you put together for world book day! I got lucky this year and my son’s school just told us all to send them in wearing their pjs, I think they were going for a ‘bedtime story’ theme! x
Loved the photo of Baby for World Book Day on Facebook. Just where do you find the time to make costumes on top of everything else?! Hope your foot is OK. Thanks for hosting #TheList
Sounds like a tough week! Thanks for hosting #TheList
I hope you and baby are feeling better soon, and you enjoy having hubby home again. x
The witch is such a good costume idea!!
Go You! XD

I didn’t dress my two up as neither are in nursery yet or anything where there was anything happening for World Book Day, but funnily enough I was thinking that my 18month old would have wanted to be the Room on the Broom witch – she’s obsessed with it! Thanks for hosting. #thelist
Hi Aby, I hope you’re feeling better! Sounds like you had a rough week, hopefully it can only get better from here and you put your feet up and rest – after all it’s Mothers Day weekend!
I totally feel the pain of you having the hubby away all week – mine has been in Texas and I’m ruddy exhausted! The worst thing is that he’s home with jetlag now so I’m not going to catch up on rest anytime soon! I hope you and baby are feeling a bit better and we’ll done on the viral post and the top ten ranking. Well deserved 🙂 Thanks for hosting 🙂
