Week 5 on the #40daybloggingchallenge

This week has continued to be tough but in some ways there have been good and at moments I have felt like I have been turning the corner; one that has carried on though and that’s my Lent Challenge.

Day 21

This week I started with a Parent Vlogger! Tommy host a weekly Vlog called Oliver and Tommy

Tommy is a fantastic friend and Dad; he parents 5 children and as a single Dad. I have no idea how he does it and continues to be a great friend and to squeeze in moments to vlog his videos. Tommy is a ventriloquist and often speaks through a variety of topics with Oliver. Through them he has spoken about being a Dad, to stand up against Bullying and will talk about topics like family set ups; especially being a single Dad on Mother’s day. Where he is fairly new on the circuit I know not many of you would have heard of him but its for that very reason that I needed to feature him; we have such a great community that I would love for him to be a part of it. Click on the links and give him a follow.

Day 22

Today, again, I featured someone that I haven’t known for that long; OMGitsagirl

I think he’s one to watch out for; in the time that I have been chatting to him on social media it is clear that he is throwing himself in fully into the blogging world! He is taking full advantage of this challenge and linkys that are around and through doing so starting to network amongst people. Although he has previously blogged over at OMG it's a girl he has recently decided to take on the blogging fully and has created a new blog over at Life with Baby Pink and the Boys

He openly admits that he is a depression sufferer and subsequently it is something that has drawn me to him; it is a world where men are not always forth coming with sharing but this guy is great. He is a stepdad to two boys as well as a dad to one and a newly arrived girl. Go check this guys’ blogs out.

Day 23

Today I featured Toni over at GymBunnyMummy

I first came across Toni through association and I’ll be honest that I am so pleased that I have! As her blog name suggests she is a Gym Bunny and fitness features in her blog and if you are a Mummy looking to shift some extra pounds or baby weight then she is definitely a blogger to go and see. Her parenting posts, as well as her personal, show an honest reflection of parenting and of her. I have personally loved her latest post and a new Linky that’s around! For all those with a sweet tooth should go and check out her #SundaySweets. Ultimately a great blogger and Mummy!

Day 24

Today I featured Beau Twins over at BeauTwins

Another blogger who I met through association but, again, am so pleased that I did; I will be honest, like I am most weeks, that I don’t visit her blog enough! Something that ii will be doing in the future; her parenting posts are great and I have no idea how she does it with Twin Girls! Her personal journey shows nothing but honesty and strength but the best bit is the added mix of humour that she throws in. Like my blog she put all of herself in it without sticking to a particular field. She is definitely one to follow and one that I will be visiting more often.

Day 25

I featured The L's Mum today over at The L's Mum

She is a brand new blogger to me so I found it quite exciting to go exploring a new blog. Although she is new to be she clearly isn’t a new blogger! Her posts vary from parenting and lifestyle; within her lifestyle post you will find food, recipes, home decor, beauty and fashion. On the parenting side you see posts on baby life and toddler life. She is all in all a very good all rounded blogger and one that we should all be visiting.

Day 26

The final blogger to feature this week is Michelle over at Crowther Clan

Another fantastic blogger that I am sure that you are all aware of but for those who don’t then you should! Great Mummy blogger with some brilliant parenting posts; I especially enjoyed her Messy play posts as they’re always full of fun and great ideas. I have no idea how she manages with two very energetic toddlers but she does brilliantly which reflects through her writing. The one aspect that I am particularly impressed with is her business Minnie Macaroons where she designs and sells lovely crochet hats and fair trade toys! As, I am sure you will know, I am a massive foodie and enjoy to find recipes through others blogs and Michelles didn’t let me down with some fantastic Vegetarian recipes to try out.

All the people featured this week have such variety in what they do but one thing that clearly stood out was that each and every one of them has stamped a corner of the blogging world showcasing themselves rather than a particular, individual, field. You get to read and share so much of them that its difficult not to fall in love with their blogs or vlogs. So I hope you all get a chance to click on the links and follow, read, watch and explore.
