This is it, people, 2013. We survived the end of the World and the Christmas Binge and the repeats on TV. We’ve stepped over the threshold of a New Year. Even better, the schools have gone back, and routines that had been abandoned for the past fortnight (in my case nearly a month) are back in place. This gives you time to have a moment to yourself and flick through the metaphorical magazine of blogging that is Good Reads.
- Petit Mom talks about living with depression. There are so many of us who feel this way yet never talk about it.
- The Adventures of a Middle-Aged Matron had me howling with her (possibly sarcastic and not-at-all-representative) Round Robin just before Christmas.
- Home Stories A-Z gave advice on how to talk to your children about school shootings just after the Sandy Hook tragedy.
- Geekalicious begs us to turn off word verification. I cannot agree with her more.
- Mummy of Two gets frustrated with lack of adequate planning for wheelchairs in Matalan.
- Northern Mum now has diabetes in her life. She tells you why Thrush can be a girl’s best friend.
- Decor 8 thinks you should get paid for blogging.
- Cranky Monkeys promotes the Mumsnet miscarriage care campaign and has her personal story. An issue close to my heart, I still find it too sad to write about.
- Lovely Lulastic has some awesome handmade gifts for women if you are thinking ahead to Valentine’s Day, or Mother’s Day.
- I Want My Mummy has an amazing writing voice. I really see her going places. In this post she ponders the Future.
- Missie Lizzie at Me and My Shadow totally blew me away with these fantastic photo cubes. Some people are too talented for their own good.
- Lucy Mangan wonders if politicians ever feel grateful for what they have
- A story of goodwill at Single Dad Laughing
- And one last thing: there’s a photography competition on at Zulily until the end of the month
And with that I leave you to microwave the cuppa that has gone cold whilst you read, and hope that you’ll be back again this time next month when I may, or may not, be offering a veritable smorgasbord of posts that are loved-up and sentimental. Or not. If you object to a Valentine’s-themed GoodReads round-up, then voice your opinion below. Think of it as a straw-poll.

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.)
