And just like that, we are already in Q2 of the year and ready for another blog post sharing corner! In all honesty, the time has been flying by so quickly. I haven’t been able to keep up with writing my own content, let alone yours. So if you know, you know …
Let’s drop some links, share some posts, discover new bloggers, and prepare our weekend reads! I’ll be reading all posts on here over the weekend, so please don’t drop more than two links. And if you choose to drop a link, please visit at least one other blog and leave an honest comment to share the love. It’s a blog post sharing corner… and it only works if we support each other.
Also, let’s do this one a little differently and share something silly about ourselves or our week so we can get to know each other and have a little giggle.
Here’s mine: I got a free mug from my favourite coffee shop today. Then a few hours later I was asked to pay for the mug as the salesperson made a huge mistake… well after I had told my whole team about my exciting freebie! What a downer! On the plus side, at least I was excited for a few hours!
Happy Reading!
If you want to chat one on one, find me on Twitter or Instagram. Or drop me an email using my contact form.
how that quickly took a funny turn –

This didn’t happen this week but I really wanted to share it with the blogging community!! So, a couple of weeks ago on my blog I didn’t have time to write a blog post so I decided to do my first ever WordPress story post, which is a new feuture to WordPress for phones! So, i created a story post and I said happy Saturday bloggers, today is the day to relax and rewind but then I realised 20 mins after I uploaded the post it was Friday and on WordPress story posts you can’t edit the post but you can only delete it. Then I checked on the WordPress app to see if it got any traction and it got like 30 likes even though I got the day wrong 🤣
LOL 😂😂 I guess people just liked the positivity!
Sorry, no idea why I’m only seeing this now 🙈
Here are links to my two most recent posts.
The first was inspired by you Shelly. It’s about the stereotypical assumptions people make about me, and other boomers:

The second is a post about keeping the risk of the AstraZeneca vaccine in perspective:

Just realized I forgot to share something silly. I have the week off work this week because it’s school spring break here in Ontario. We’re still very much under pandemic restrictions but my younger daughter and I snuck in a little trip to visit her sister at college.
We walked along the beach by Lake Ontario and my daughter Colleen, who used to love to collect rocks when she was small, decided to add a rock to her collection. But it was no small rock…it was the size of a brick. She has it in her room. It will make a great doorstop. 😂
😦 A huge rock?! LOL that’s hilarious! Why on earth did she pick such a big thing?
I hope it was rare at least 😂😂
Thanks for sharing ~ I hope you kept your masks on!
I have no idea why she did it. She’s very proud of it, though.
hahah! awww! Something similar happened to me this week too. I took my mum to a local store to shop for a gift for my aunt. We chanced upon a sale rack with clothes marked down by 30-50%. I say chanced because it wasn’t marked and we randomly discovered it. While we were picking pieces the salesperson came and said there is buy 2 get 2 offer on the sale rack items. We got super excited – since it was a bargain deal. Once we went through a 100 clothes and picked 4 – another salesperson clarified that either or of the sales options applies. Either you get the discount sale or you get it at full price but get 2+2. It was kind of a total bummer after we spent 15 minutes so excited to get super discounted clothes!! 😀
Aww man! But a double discount does sound too good to be true… I would’ve been so stoked and grabbed like ten items! Did you end up buying any pieces?
We did buy 2 pieces but we had picked up 8 pieces initially. 😀
I can’t think of anything silly that happened this week but I have been having a great time riding bikes with my oldest daughter! She is getting more confident and we have gone on some fun rides together! 😀🚴
🌎🌍🌏Here is a post I shared last week:
Earth Is Your Home: Pick Up Litter
http://happilydecluttered.com/2021/04/07/earth-is-your-home-pick-up-litter/
That’s lovely!!! I’m glad you’re getting to spend time with her and watch her grow both physically and in confidence 😊
Sorry to hear about your mug! Hmm something silly. I had a chaotic hour trying to settle my colicky son this morning while mum was out for lunch. Handed him over to mum after she got back and he immediately smiled at her. Dad pride destroyed 😂. I haven’t been writing much either so I’ll leave a link to this love letter I wrote for my wife. https://clear-air-turbulence.com/2021/04/08/kissed-for-the-very-first-time/
Wishing you well Shelly 🙏
Awwww don’t take it to heart… moms are the favorites when the little ones are little but then we are boring as soon as they are ready for the rough play. Take it as a break and enjoy your time off 😅
Thanks for sharing!
Haha. I didn’t take it personally. Actually he was hungry and refused the bottle. There’s no replacement for mummy in that regard! 😊🙏
Rethinking it now, it doesn’t seem so silly, yet when it happened, I couldn’t stop laughing at myself. I have to wear a mask at work and I was feeling pretty proud that I’ve finally stopped trying to blow dust off my equipment while masked; but then I had a couple pieces of paper that stuck together and, to flip them, I quick threw my fingers to my mouth to moisten them a bit… yeah, I got a tongue-full of mask and fingers even dry-er than before, if that is possible. Gotta find the humor in the hardship, right?

Thanks, Shelly! Have a fabulous weekend 🙂
Hahahahaha omg that’s hilarious! Almost as bad as fixing glasses on your face that aren’t there 😂😂😂
I’ll be reading tomorrow and Sunday 😊 Thanks for sharing!
So, did you end up getting the mug in the end? You were really excited about it. 😀
Here’s my most recent post, a helpful guide to keep motivated when losing weight: https://loseweightwithang.com/why-you-need-to-focus-on-non-scale-victories/
Hahaha I did get it… but I paid an arm and a leg for it 😅
Dang! 😂
Hi, Shelly! So, I’ve been unable to tag you on my recent post.
https://vetty124235539.wordpress.com/2021/04/16/7-wrong-assumptions-people-have-of-me/
I promised I was going to tag you, when I post this as you inspired me to.
Thanks, by the way!❤👏
Oh man I hate when that happens! That’s why whenever something good happens to me, like a freebie, I quickly accept and run out of the store LOL have you ever seen that funny ikea commercial with the lady running to her car screaming for her husband to “START THE CARRR!”, that’s me! LOL
Hmm something funny/silly that happened this week… My daughter recently turned 3 and she got all these amazing cool gifts but out of the lot, her favourite was a foldable stool LOL she brings it everywhere and now uses it to reach for things she previously was able to reach for without it lol silly kid…
Here’s a recent post I wrote about my latest birthday hike with my husband (the dramatic in me wants to preface it by saying here’s a post about me almost dying lol) | https://bosssybabe.wordpress.com/2021/03/31/no-regrets/
Thanks for letting us share! ❤️🙏😊
