Life: The Ultimate Rabbit Hole

April 29, 2017 by Shari Leave a Comment

I mentioned last week that I was in a bit of a funk – thanks to all who responded to last week’s post. And although I am feeling much better and more on top of it all this week. I have been trying to be kind to myself and relax all of my commitments in April. I think it will make me feel much better about blogging in May.

I wonder why people are reading my blog and what they would like from me? I found this post about 5 reasons to read blogs from Kidspot – but I would love to hear from you in the comments section.

If you’re new to blogging, you might be wondering why people aren’t reading you blog? And so I thought you might be interested in this post – 27 reasons people aren’t reading your blog posts.

Talking about new blogs, my beautiful friend Charmaine just started a blog called Somewhere Between. Somewhere Between gives you access to a comprehensive directory of quality brands, products and services.  The list of featured retailers is carefully curated by the girls and features a number of smaller, independent stores that otherwise would be hard to stumble across. Not just for shopping you will also be able to read advice about nutrition, hormones, skincare from the Dr. Joseph Racanelli, emotional resilience, cyber security, book recommendations, age appropriate music/movie/TV recommendations, book reviews, travel, interiors, parties, fashion and more.

I think when I plan out my blogging calendar for May, I will have a focus on meal planning and seasonal eating. You might find this post about Eight reasons why you should be meal planning interesting.

Meal planning is the best way to be able to get enough protein, carbs and fats into your diet. It all becomes easier when you already know how much you´re eating. If you aren´t getting enough protein or nutrients in your diet, then go to https://www.focusperformance.co.uk/products/hemp-protein.

And for those who are interested in seasonal eating – then you might be interested in this post from the Sydney Markets and their recipe for roasted grapes.  Did you know that you could roast grapes?

Every Saturday morning, we will open up the rabbit hole link up for bloggers to add their link list posts or even just their favourite post {if you are not of the link list kind} for the week. Please link only one post. This makes it fair for everyone and allows more posts to be read.

Talking of reading, do try and pop along to say hello to some of  the other lovely linkers. This week, you can link up here or bob on over and say hello to Sammie from The Annoyed Thyroid, Jess from Confident Life or Paula from  The Geeky Shopaholic. It doesn’t matter where you add your link because it will appear on both blogs, as if by magic!  The link up will stay open until midnight the following Monday. Alice is about to blow her mind! Grab a cuppa and attend this mad tea party. Add your “Link List” post or just your favourite post from this week…

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
