Hola Ladies, Gents, Boys, Girls and Goldfish, are we enjoying the World Cup thing? As I am waist deep in watching Gossip Girl on Netflix the only reason I know that there is some giant Media-Consuming Sports-related thing going down in Brazil is the sudden increase in the number of British and English flags flying from garden fences and car windows.
If you, like me, are so over the football thing, or you have a physic pet of some kind (and you’ve got to think that takes the joy out of it) then you are going to need distraction to get you through the next couple of weeks. Which is why, dear friends and readers of BritMums, I have some splendidly Good Reads to keep you occupied.
So pull up a chair, put your phone on silent, switch off the TV and digest:
- Emily Organ writes about Pinterest Parenting.
- Julia Fierro tells The Huffington Post about the time her daughter’s photograph went viral.
- The Botanical Baker wishes all service stations could be like the one she stopped at. The DG family can back her up: they are awesome.
- Jennifer Dickinson tells The Debrief what Kirstie Allsop doesn’t know about being a young mum.
- Ms Marmite Lover, speaking at BritMums Live this weekend, writes about her experience: Marmite cupcakes and recipe copyright.
- Write Like No-one’s Watching gives her perspective on the news that children can be damaged by overnight stays with their fathers.
- It’s time for a Friendship Manifesto according to Renegade Mothering.
- Kim Brooks tells the story of the day she left her son in the car in the Salon.
- Even DH read the ten things teachers want to say to parents but can’t in The Guardian.
- Kristin Eckert has been interviewing bloggers for her dissertation and has published some guidelines for how to blog safely.
- Our Regularly Scheduled Program talks about A Beautiful Body
- The Huffington Post shares the most amazing photographs of D-Day landing sites.
- Momastery had me laughing with this post on Morning Beauty Routines.
- Pigeon Pair and Me asks could our girls wear pink with pride.
So there you go. If you find anything that you think is worth sharing, don’t forget to tweet @domesticgoddesq using #BMGoodReads.
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.)
