Blogcrush Week 22 – 14th July 2017
Blogcrush week 22 – here we come! And WHAT a week it’s been! In case you haven’t seen, Lucy At Home has expanded and now includes a little t-shirt shop. We launched on Tuesday. It is exciting and terrifying at the same time. It may take off overnight, it may be a complete flop, BUT it was super fun doing some designing and who knows what the future holds.
This linky is unique. We ask our bloggers to share 1 post that they’ve written themselves and 1 post that they’ve enjoyed by someone else. That means we get some of the best posts from the whole blogisphere linked up here each week! It also means we have some of the nicest bloggers because they’re all about sharing and building each other up (you guys are amazing!)
If you’d like to join in, just click the blue “Add a link” button at the bottom of this post (check out this beginner’s linky guide if you’re unsure). Or if you’re just here for some fab reads, click on any of the thumbnails below and you will be redirected straight to that post.
This is our prestigious “I was featured” blog badge. You are very welcome to pin it to your blog with pride if you’ve ever been chosen as someone’s #blogcrush 🙂
**PLEASE NOTE THERE IS A RULE CHANGE!**
Wendy and I have been having a chat about how to improve this little linky. We are so grateful to all of you who link up and we want to get you as many comments in return as possible. So we’ve decided to change the rules a bit.
We still want you to comment on 4 posts but instead of having to comment on 1 personal post & 1 blogcrush post from the main list, we want you to comment on 2 personal posts.
Old rules
Comment on at least these 4 posts:
- 1 of the Lucy’s posts (personal or BC)
- 1 of the Wendy’s posts (personal or BC)
- 1 personal post
- 1 blog crush post
New rules
Comment on at least these 4 posts:
- 1 of the Lucy’s posts (personal or BC)
- 1 of the Wendy’s posts (personal or BC)
- 2x personal posts
We figure that you guys deserve some extra comments because you’re the ones doing the hard work of linking up, etc. And the people you’ve blogcrushed will still get at least one comment from the linky because Wendy and I comment on every post that is linked up.
And obviously, the 4 comments is the minimum – feel free to comment on any extra posts you wish. It’s definitely true that the more you put in, the more you get out.
We hope you like the new rules and that it makes the linky even better for you guys 🙂

Blogcrush Week 22
Featured Posts
Each week, Wendy (my lovely co-host from Naptime Natter) and I pick a post each from the previous #blogcrush link up to feature. That means you get lots of extra comments from our lovely linkers! But remember, this little perk is only for YOUR posts (i.e. not your blogcrushes). Here are the featured posts for Blogcrush Week 22 –
Wendy’s #Blogcrush is TBC
My #Blogcrush is Daddy’s Bedtime Adventure by Tales of Two Children
If you’ve ever wondered what daddy and the kids get up to when mummy is out, you need to read this post! The on-going inner dialogue is brilliant too!
Congratulations, guys! Please collect your “I’ve been featured” badges from the top of the page
Host Post
Finally, with the summer holidays fast approaching, the post I’m linking up for Blogcrush week 22 is Stay At Home Activities For The School Holidays.
The school holidays can seem like a long and daunting prospect. How can we possibly keep them entertained for weeks at a time?? But have no fear – this little post will have you inspired in no time! 48 activities that are easy to do in and around the house, to fill out that time when you’re not on your ACTUAL holiday!
Right I think that’s all the admin stuff so let’s get linking! Thanks for popping over to #blogcrush and I’m looking forward to seeing what wonderful posts you guys have brought along to make Blogcrush week 22 go with a bang!
Forgot to add BC next to my crush pst- it is from Ourrachblogs- Bra Wars.
I’ve commented and laughed and laughed and I think I injured myself (totally worth it), I think my #Blogcrush-ing is now out of control. Stalking, I mean following even more bloggers (if that’s humanly possible) and shared and just generally had a great time.
I left one link to my latest post (I’ve been a sunslacker this summer, I promise I’ll get back to blogging, but I have about 600 posts, so feel free to have your way with my archives) and another link to my #blogcrush – Teagan, she’s aware of my adoration of her blog and her magical writing, my copy of her book, ‘Atonement, Tennessee’ is so dogeared I bought myself a Kindle ebook of it, so I can wear it out on my phone and tablet too lol.
Thank you kindly, Lucy and Wendy, for your tireless support of bloggers and to everyone who participated today, this is a blogging goldmine and I can’t say thank you enough. 🙂
Hope this weekend is treating everyone kindly and all the best for summer and beyond. 🙂
