#Blogtober18 late for Day One

So the first thing to say is that I am late with joining in…. This is just typical of me. Life is very busy in our household and I have good intentions, but am easily distracted. Anyway I am here now and will be joining in with #Blogtober18 for the rest of the month.

What is #Blogtober18?

So for those that haven’t heard of it before then Blogtober is a post per day for 31 days, there are a set of prompts that bloggers can choose to follow, or you can just post anything you choose. It is a annual event set up by Mandi at Big Family Organised Chaos and gives bloggers a chance to share and read one anothers work. Mandi has devised a list of topics that we can use and here they are:

Now I don’t necessarily plan to do everyone of these topics, but I think it will be great for me to at least try and do some of these so I am getting pushed a little bit. That is one of the reasons that I am joining in with #Blogtober18 I want to have a challenge. I am also doing it as this week my youngest children will start nursery and I will be home along during the day so I thought I had best keep myself busy!

Regular Readers

For those who are my regular readers and receive an email every time I post I hope you won’t mind me posting everyday. I might get annoying, but do bare with me it will just be for October and then I will be back to my usual schedule. The #DreamTeam linky will also continue to run during this period. If you follow me on twitter you will also get to see some other bloggers who are using the #Blogtober18 so hopefully you find some new great reads too.

New visitors

For those who are visiting for the first time a big welcome and here is a bit about me. My name is Kirsty and I have four little kids (7 and under), a long suffering husband, two cats and two fish. The house is chaos and it is not even organised – it is just chaos. My parenting style is about navigating through whatever is thrown at me and I have learnt a few bits along the way so I write the blog to share my ideas and the reality of navigating baby through to adulthood.
