March is here and it brought Spring: the leaves are beginning to bud on the tress, the daffodils are blooming in full force throughout the land and I feel at last that I can put my washing out on the line without it taking three days to dry!
Of course Spring also means that we have Mother’s Day, not to mention the clocks going forward. On Mother’s Day. Whose bright idea was it to have a special day for Mother’s on the shortest day of the year?
Moving on, to all things internetty, this is a collection of things worth reading across the internet. That may have been a broad sweeping statement so I should probably qualify it by saying that “other reading materials are available”.
On with the show….

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.)
