7 x 7: My favourite blog posts

February 14, 2012 By jbmumofone 17 Comments

A tag!  A tag!  I love being tagged!

This one is thanks to the delightful Cat from Yellow Days, why thank you.

So this one has three parts.  Thats ok, I can manage three.

  • Share you with my seven best blog reads of the last week.  NO PROBLEMO!
  • Share with you seven more things about myself.  SEVEN?  MORE?  You must know everything there is to know by now.  Will give it a go.
  • Tag someone else.  Phew.  Was sure that was going to involve another seven. *Mops weary brow*.

Part One: My seven best blog reads of the last week

1. And then, if just for a moment, Michael Jackson made me a better father.

This one was written by the genius Mike of Mike is happy.  Relatively.  Go check out his blog.  It is awesome.

2. Avon Calling

I can’t actually imagine a week where a post by Michael Cargill wouldn’t feature in my top reads.  I love his blog.

3. A letter to my son on the eve of his 3rd birthday

A heart-breaking but beautiful post from SAHDandproud.  His writing is so honest and this one reduced me to tears.

4. A family story

A really intriguing post from Hello It’s Gemma that really leaves you wanting more.

5. Daft Trendy

Quite possibly my favourite photo ever from the very talented HPMcQ

6. Arf Arf

A blog that is rapidly becoming one of my favourites by the wonderful Slightly Suburban Dad.  We share the same taste in jokes.  What more can I say.

7. A love letter

A really touching post from Kate on Thin Ice written for Him Indoors.

Part Two: Seven things I can think of you need to know about me.

  1. I dreamt of Nigel Havers last night.  It was hot. *Blushes*
  2. I HATE flossing my teeth and am consequently dreading my visit to the dental hygienist next week.
  3. My fingernails are currently a very fetching shade of dark-sparkly-green.
  4. I didn’t go for a run last week and now feel quite fat.
  5. I MAY go for a run tomorrow…but am not promising.
  6. Mr B is currently cooking me tea.  Beef Bourgignon.  Yumbles.  He is the best.
  7. I used to have a minor crush on Jay from Five.  Or was it just J.  I was never really sure.
Part Three:  So….I tag….
Seeing as she rounded off Part One so nicely I tag the ever-grooving Kate.  You’re it!
AND the lovely Claire from A Boy With Asperger’s as she is fab.

    Thank you very much Jen – I am glad that I bring amusement to at least one person’s life each week!

    I want a picture of these fingernails of yours. Green looks fabulous on the right person.

    I shall visit those other blogs and get cracking with my own duties soon…

      Gemma, you always seem to make my top reads. Glad you don’t floss either. Not really sure why.

    I’m anti-flossing. Brushing is fine, mouth wash if you must but jiggling about in there with a tiny bit of string is just a little bit OCD in my opinion.

      Well, you know all too well about my OCD. You lived with me. Enough said.

    TePe sticks were my salvation- trying to floss when pregnant made me retch. And I also find Nigel Havers strangely attractive. Nothing wrong with a bit of posh I reckon.

      Those sticks are awful! I also tried a hummingbird. EUGHH. I hate flossing. As I said.

    I’ve never been for a run – I can’t even run for the bus and the stop is at the end of my (short) drive. I feel fat – but that might be more to do with all the shortbread and hob nobs I’ve just consumed. (Don’t tell anyone – I’m a Weight Watchers leader….) Thanks for sharing. I’ll have a good read through those blogs later.

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
