Hello you lovely lot and welcome to week 30 of #MaternityMondays! Thanks so much to you all for continuing to link up every week, and welcome to our lovely new linkers! I love our little community, celebrating the joys (and sharing the challenges) of pregnancy, life with babies and motherhood in general and lovely to see it grow too!

We had a bumper week last week, with some really great reads as always! It was my turn to host so here were my faves.

I loved Musing Mumma’s post on 5 things she has achieved since becoming a parent and laughed out loud at number one because it was so noest and very relatable – she has stayed married! Babies are really challenging and I have to admit she has achieved more than I have – certainly in terms of not missing showers, I have lost count of the number of days I have scraped my hair back and gone without a shower lol! So hat’s off to you!

Regular readers will know that I have recently accepted that I have PND, and I found this post from Spring Will Appear very touching and easy for me to relate too. PND comes in many forms and doesn;t always show in the way that you think it will. Lovely post and well worth a read.

Last but by no means least I really enjoyed reading All About a Mummy‘s post about her beach essentials. I was well and truly in the holiday mood for our trip to Dorset and thought she had some great tips. Plus it was lovely to see all the pictures of happy smiling faces having fun on the beach :).

Now it is over to you! Please grab our badge and share the linky love by commenting on a few other blog posts, it would be lovely if we could grow a little community to share the highs and lows of motherhood and parenting.

The linky is open Mondays only from 6.30am to midnight.
