Half Term Holidays: Creative Mondays Link Up.
Happy Monday Friends.
I hope you have all had a lovely weekend?
We did not go too far this weekend as we were letting my Daughter recover from the operation she had on Thursday.
Thankfully she is doing well and no nasty side effect from it.
If you missed this post, you can read about it here on the weekend blog hop: The Sunshine After the Rain: Weekend Link Up.
We did go a nice ride out in the car to visit my eldest son yesterday though. That was lovely. We had not seen him since Christmas.
It is half termed holiday here for the children so now we are making fun plans to keep busy all week. Watch this space!
Guess what!? It is my Birthday! Well not mine but my blogs birthday.
7 years old today!! Wow, how the years have flown by.

Sounds like you're going to have a great week! So, I love this idea of curating a list of neat blog posts, but how do you do it? Do you just find several great blog posts and grab their blog pics or do you connect with them? Is it a regular thing or different each time? I'd love to start doing it.
