Your top 5 favourite blogs to read in 2013:
Motherhood Journeys – This is written by Corinne (aka Motherscuffer) – its one of the blog posts I love seeing pop into my email inbox and I rarely miss any of her posts, she writes so honestly and openly. Her strength and attitude towards life has inspired me this year.
A Healthy Slice – This is an American blog which I really love. Brittany has an adorable daughter the same age as Izzy and she’s also a bit of a foodie like me. I enjoy reading the posts about her shopping lists and meal plans and love how she makes every task interesting. She also runs a feature called munchkin meals with great ideas for healthy food ideas for toddlers.
Franglaise Mummy – I love Sophie and her blog, we met at last years Britmums conference and she truly is as lovely as she seems on her blog. Love to read about the differences between French and English life and about how she parents her two children. She also has a new joint blog with her husband called Franglaise Cooking which I drool over.
A Girl Called Jack – I’ve been a big fan of this brilliantly thrifty blog written by Jack Monroe for quite some time and I’m totally thrilled for her and the success she is currently receiving with her book.
Dear Beautiful – this blog has encouraged me to take regular photos of myself with my family for the Me and Mine linky and I will forever be grateful for that’s. Its a really lovely blog which I always enjoy visiting.
