Weekly Round-up

Weekly Round-up

This week has been very D.I.Y orientated and a lot of decision making.

Sunday: We got up early (because obviously that's what sane people do) and we headed to the car boot. I love a bargain, Dwaine got tools for his work, the boys got toys and general crap and I got exciting things like a Pina Colada Yankee Candle the large size for £10!! I also got a lovely cushion (see below).

Sorry not pictures of tools or toys because well they aren't that exciting!

After the car boot we had some D.I.Y to do because Dwaine had Saturday off work so got bored and decided to replace the manky disgusting carpet in the living room with laminate flooring! So Sunday afternoon was spent ripping that up and laying the new flooring. It looks amazing now, however I now need to decorate.

Monday: Spent on the phone to the hospital again to finally get a new date for Deacon's surgery (3rd November) which is the last day of his half term so he gets a month off school! Not bad for his first year hey!!

Tuesday: The dreaded top-up shop with the boys! We go once a week for fresh fruit and veg and bits we need. Food shopping in the holidays with 2 small children is a form of torture I am sure. Made even worse the fact there is a toy shop in the retail park!

Wednesday: Oh that day was THE LONGEST DAY EVER! Dwaine took his brother to pick up his new car all the way in Scarborough. So he didn't get back until late, today seemed like it was a week long.

Thursday: We made a den, that's a days entertainment in itself really. Who doesn't like a den? 

Friday: A trip to the shops with the boys Great Gran (G.G) followed by baking a cake total mess. That's what baths are made for right? 

Then before you know it, it is the weekend and bank holiday. And only one week left of the school holidays and I'm progressively feeling more and more sick as they days go by.

How was you week?!

Where will parenting bloggers be in 10 years?

Where will parenting blogger be in 10 years?

Well what an interesting question! Being a newbie parenting blogger this got me thinking! Would i still be blogging in 10 years? Would i still be blogging about parenting stuff? Would i run out of thinks to say?

Then i got to thinking about all the established parenting bloggers! Are some only seeing success because of them having young children? Or no matter what will people always be able to relate? Or are teenagers, just not that interesting, to read about so, essentially the blogger will be a personal blogger, rather then a parenting one?

Personally in 10 years my kids will be 14 and 11 and although slightly independent they will still be at home, still giving me a million and one things to write about.

What about the bloggers whos kids will be adult by then? Will they become reminisant parenting bloggers? Or will there be a new niche of parenting of adult children, who are waiting to become a granparent blogger?

However the biggest question is will there even be bloggers in 10 years? With the digital age changing so fast. (Trust im 29 and have no clue about most things digital.) Will we need to adapt and become something else we may or may not understand?

Either way with all my questions asked i no one thing as a parent to 2 boys, life will always a crazy mine field, that even if blogging doesnt exist, whatever way i can share the amazing moments, and the quite frankly shit moments of being a parent i will be there!

I wonder what others think of this question. Even more interesting would be if anyone thinks they have an answer to the question!
