Behind the scene: blogging tag

Monday night, am surfing through my WordPress reader, enjoying new blog posts from my WP community when I came across Deb’s Monday Morning Post. I enjoyed it. At first I was going to comment my answers, but on a second thought after typing it all out, I decided to take on the challenge. I wanted to also acknowledge the source and the journey took me from Debs to StomperDad Blog who blogs from his kitchen to his basement to his couch, and gets inspiration from his two adorable boys, very cute 💕, lovely blog he has. To making time for me blog, pretty cool blogger, from reading her posts, I feel like we are sisters from another mama 😀. From there the tag took me again to The Frenchie Mummy blog, be careful she may send you to detention, haha, awesome mummy blogger she must be 😁. Next tag I found myself at was Mummy here and there blog, lovely laid out blog, I like, I 💕💕. Sighs..thank God am not the only one who find pop ups on blogs annoying, jeez it’s a blog, am here to read and enjoy without being distracted by pop ups and ads everywhere, #ouropinionthough, you may not agree. I got these cool picture from hers.

Do not get bored as my tag journey took me to google blogspot website to discover Northumberland Mam blog, interesting don’t you think? A pretty cool way to discover new blogs. She has yummy meal plans if you out shopping for one.

Alas, i have used my smartphone to trace the links  and type this post so far and i mistakenly clicked the back button on my post few seconds ago, thank God for auto-save. Gosh, i did be crying now, let’s continue the journey from my PC.

I thought the trace was over, oh my i was wrong, turns out she took the tag challenge as well. Next i discovered Babi a Fi blog, neatly laid our bright blog, sure to brighten your day when you feel dull. She lives in Wales, a humanist, feminist, socialist, history nut, dull collector and nerd, wow what a hearty combination.

And guess what, i landed next on A little bit of sunshine blog, who created this tag on october 17th 2015 in response to a Blogtober Post Prompt, she loves GIF and her website will sure add a bit of sunshine to your life. Can i get a whoop whoop. Are you thinking what i am thinking? What if the tag went back to a hundred posts? Hmmm, i am so not thinking about that. This has been one interesting journey and i conquered, jajajaja.

My Short Answers.

2. Where do you find inspiration for your blog posts? Events, Situations, Conversations and my Thoughts.

I hardly ever edit my blog shots except it’s for a purpose, then Photoshop will do.
