As you read this, you might wonder…. Why has that effervescent blogging soul, Ritu, not responded to my comments/liked my post/written something about my post?

Well, it’s because I’m not here! Yes, you will see scheduled posts popping up, but I’m off to no wifi land!!

Yup, Monday through to Friday our little family are away, leaving our faithful house sitter to eat us out of house and home, and finally embark on a family break!

And, it appears that there will be very limited wifi available, so sorry in advance if I am unable to respond straight away! But then, pure family time us so rare, that I hope you forgive me!

But, somehow, whenever this situation seems to arise, I always find ways to post, or respond, so, again, don’t be surprised if I DO post, lol!!!

I will hopefully fill you all in on our adventure when we’re back!!!

Bye Peeps! Enjoy your week!!! 😊😊😊

3 Quote Challenge – Day 3

Neha at Dream Little Big has challenged me for the 3 day quote challenge.

The rules

Post a quote a day, for three consecutive days

Pass the challenge on to three new bloggers each day.

So this time my theme was quotes from kids, those little pearls of wisdom, that children unknowingly share with us!

And the last day’s effort…

So cute! And you know what, this rings so true. It’s how I feel about so many people, but I know I’d look strange if I was a person with 10 thumbs, to start with!

But that is the blind devotion of children. Even if you are making mistakes, they are still there, picking you up along the way, and not even realising it.

I know there are days when I am tired from work, exhausted, in fact, and I end up taking it out on my nearest and dearest, then I realise what I’m doing, and it brings tears to my eyes. My extremely sensitive and highly intuitive 10 year old, Lil Man, will come to me and say “it doesn’t matter mummy, you are still the best mummy in the world!” and Lil Princess will give me a hug.

That, right there, is like them putting 10 thumbs up for me. I’m sure you with children must have days like that too, and those little actions of the kids, make things so much better!

And my final 3 challenges go out to…

Doted On

Hope you enjoyed my little foray into Kids Quotes!

Stay safe, and Happy Monday Peeps!

Nighty night!

by Ritu in Thoughts Opinions & Memories Tags: Blog, Blog Post, Blogger, Blogging, Thank you!, Thankful, we did it!

We, seriously, WE did it… Actually YOU did it!

Thank you so much for helping to make my 40th birthday dream come true!

Over 30 of you reblogged my initial post, and so many people, new members of my Blogily, hit that follow button! You seriously made my day/week/month/birthday!!!

It’s times like this when I know our community is so strong, and if you do care for your blogily, they’ll look out for you too!
Huge thank you again to you all!

So, my dear new friends, what to expect from me…

I’m a wife, mum, daughter, sister, and teacher… Inspiration comes from all these roles, and I try to use my personal experience to write.

You will meet my Hubby Dearest, Lil Man, my 10 year old son, Lil Princess, my 7 year old daughter, and Sonu Singh, our Punjabi Kitty, among others along the way!

I am a bit random, but organised in my randomness too (I am a Virgo after all. Can’t let go too much!).

You’ll get lots of positivity, I’ll try to give you something to giggle about, or think about most mornings, and in the evening, there is anything from my Kids Logic series, anecdotes, or memories, something creative, or even recipes! I am 2 chapters into a story I started to write, which I am posting on Wednesday evenings too, and I would love your feedback on that too! You can see the first two chapters Here. A huge favourite on here, is also the mini star of the blog, my cat!

I love to read your posts as much as I like to write, and am having a great time on vacation from school, as I can read and connect properly, but as soon as my teacher hat goes back on in 2 weeks, it’ll be a little harder… But I do try… My old faithful blogily can vouch for than, I hope!

So again, a huge thank you Peeps, you rock!!!!!
