Blogs I'm reading

Once Ethan has gone to bed, I've been making a conscious effort to make more of 'me time' and not simply go to bed myself. I do something active, I catch up on some blogging or I enjoy surfing social media or catching up on some of my favourite blogs.

I like to read a wide range of blogs and find that Facebook groups are good ways to find new people and interesting topics to read about but I am a creature of habit and like to regularly follow certain bloggers. 

I know that Bloglovin gives you the chance to browse all recent posts of all the people you follow from one place, but I'm old school - I like to have pages bookmarked or saved on my iPad so I can quickly find my favourites.

So I've been taking a look at some of the blogs I've seen or read, old and new, so I always have a blogger library to flick through when I'm waiting for Ethan to drift off or I'm treating myself to a cheeky Pimms, curled up on the sofa on a school night.

Here's just few of my current favourite reads - to share the blogger love, I've added their logos with links below so you can take a look too if you fancy it (hope they don't mind!):

Visit Mummy of boy girl twins

I love the style of Jess' blog. I feel instantly calm when I come to her blog and inspired too, as she writes about her beautiful family, interiors, fashion, fitness and lifestyle - all topics I am passionate about to. Her photography is beautiful, her writing light and honest and I really enjoy reading about Jess and her family. 

Her recent post about how she spends her evenings sounds very similar to me!

Visit Pouting In Heels

I had the pleasure of meeting Kate at last year's BritMums and I'm so glad I did as she's such a fun, friendly and positive person. This translates to her blog which champions self-belief, sisterhood and positive thinking.

Kate writes beautifully and one of my favourite recent posts is this one, about keeping your own light bright.

Visit Dolly Dowsie

This is a really friendly blog that covers everything from parenting to beauty and I enjoy reading Fiona's updates on her gorgeous son Tyler Lee. She's also a keen baker so there's lots of cake-spiration too!

Fiona's honest post about her son crying and not knowing why is so lovely to read.

Visit The Fabulous Times

The Fabulous Times had me at it's intro: "A positive lifestyle blog offering readers travel guides, food, fashion + style inspiration, wellbeing, business, culture, tech notes and more". Just my cup of tea! Who doesn't want or need a bit of positivity in their lives? I love the vintage twist and the really useful blogging advice and for me, the variety means there's always something interesting to read.

The post I've tagged to come back to is this one, about veggie juice combos to try.
