So how’s it going? How are the children? How are you enjoying the summer holidays? At the moment of writing I am five weeks in and counting the days until school goes back in September but by the time you read this I shall be on our actual Summer Holiday an eight hour flight away and may be of the opinion that I quite enjoy having the children around so much. Assuming I got everything done before I left which, as we arrive back two days before the beginning of school, is getting everything ready for school- shoes, name tapes, winter coats, the works.
But enough about me and my First World Problems. I am here to offer you diversion: some amusing, some interesting and some a little sad. It’s the giant hotpotch I like to call Good Reads August 2014.
When two bloggers share the same post, you know to pay attention, so when ThinkItChangeIt and VegemiteVix shared Susie’s post “I Guess I’m Not OK.” I put it at the top of my list. The world needs to start finding a solution to all the killing .

About Kelly Innes
Kelly is the face behind the vintage silhouette at Domestic Goddesque. She eats too much cookie dough to have a waist that small. She is a thirty-something Mother of two absurdly photogenic little girls, is married her beloved DH and endures daily battles-of-will with the dog she refers to as the Wonder Hound. She likes to avoid housework as much as possible, preferring to bake, craft and drink cocktails. Sorry, did I say cocktails? I meant coffee. And nap. She likes to nap too. When not blogging, you can find her haunting Facebook for interesting snippets of gossip, or throwing her wit around the twittersphere. (She may have made that last bit up too: she's not that funny.)
