I'm Back!

Source

Right, well, after a much longer than planned break, I am back. I'd felt a bit fed up in general and decided to give my typing fingers a rest! I really enjoy blogging but my heart wasn't in it, I felt like I was writing for writing's sake. But I have missed it. REALLY missed it. I'd see something and think 'Oh, that would be a good blog topic' and then just not put pen to paper. I've also gotten a bit behind on reading all my favourite blogs, my Bloglovin' feed is choc-a-bloc with awesome posts which I have yet to read. So I am sitting here with a cuppa and getting down to business.

Not much has happened in my world. I've seen a few plays which I will be writing up on here, got back in touch with some friends who I've been neglecting (anyone who knows me knows that I am TERRIBLE at keeping in contact, I try my best but I'm just rubbish!!) and I've started my Christmas shopping. Yaaaaay!!

Christmas really is my favourite time of year. As soon as the wind gets that nip in it and the leaves start falling from the trees my countdown begins. Actually it begins on the 4th of July, the day after my birthday, but that makes me sound a bit Christmas obsessed, which I probably am!

I started potty training one of my charges today so watch this space. She got on really well, one proud nanny here. When we've both got into more of a routine with it I'll write a post about different methods we used, any tips or tricks which I found helpful, and ones I didn't! It's not something one really thinks about, going to the toilet, but there's a lot to learn and control. Bring it on I say!

I have become a tad bit obsessed with Instagram! I love it! I can spend hours looking through the different pictures. I don't like posting too many pictures on Facebook because it's really annoying but on Instagram you're SUPPOSED to post pictures all day. You can follow me here. Shameless, I know.

Well, you will be hearing from me very soon I hope! Thanks for reading,

  1. Great to see you back Cathy! I would be really interested in your potty training tips, how old is the little one you are potty training? I really need to get on with potty training Libby soon, definitely want her out of nappies before her little brother or sister puts in an appearance!

    1. Thank you! It's been going really well actually! Day six and she's pretty much done! They were two in July (twins) but I'm just training the girl first. Yeah, I can imagine! It's so difficult having two in nappies, and these are the same age!! Can't imagine having a tiny one and a big girl :L Not to mention how expensive they are :O

      I'll look at the linky now :)

  3. I did the same thing as you - took a break (accidently - time just got away from me) and I ended up really missing writing and reading blogs - great to see you back at it though :)

    1. Thank you Martina :) It's surprising, I was really starting to think of it as a chore but I'm enjoying it much more after the break! I hope you are too.

  4. Awesome that you're back! I know how you feel, sometimes it feels like I'm just writing for the sake of writing as well. It's good to take a step back & come back with revitalized goals! I just came across your blog & I'm so happy that I did. I followed you & can't wait to see more :)
