BlogCrush Week 51 – 2nd February 2018
This is the BlogCrush linky – a place where bloggers from across the globe come together to share their posts, and the posts they’ve enjoyed by other bloggers. This is BlogCrush Week 51.
– If you’re a blogger, we’d love you to join in and share your work with some other fab creatives.
– If you’re a blog-reader, you can expect a choice of some of the best blog posts around in the list below. Just keep scrolling to the bottom of this post.
BlogCrush (as far as we know) is totally unique as a linky because we ask our bloggers to add a post of their own AND a post that they loved by someone else. It means that our link up is packed full of quality posts from lots of different genres, and it’s a great way to gift some extra exposure to the posts that have really grabbed your attention.
If you’re a blogger but you haven’t joined a linky before, check out my beginner’s linky guide which will tell you everything you need to know!
Advance Notice:
16th Feb is our 1 year anniversary! We’re hosting a special giveaway EXCLUSIVELY for our linkers so don’t forget to pop by, even if you can’t link up that particular week. It’s gonna be GREAT!
This week’s hosts are:
- Lucy (Lucy At Home) – @lucy_at_home
- Wendy (Naptime Natter) – @NaptimeNatter
This our “I’ve been featured” blog badge – if one of your posts has been added to the BlogCrush linky by someone else, CONGATULATIONS! They loved it so much, they wanted to share it for you here. That is something to shout about so let everyone know by copying the code from the text box below and pasting it into the HTML / text section of your blog.
We now have a BlogCrush Pinterest Board. Wendy, Alice and myself thought it would be nice to have a board where we can showcase all the fabulous posts that are linked up here each week. We have also created a “best of blogcrush” board where the host’s featured blogcrush posts will get a second pin. Please pop over and give us a Pinterest follow (and obvs we’ll follow you back) –

The Rules
- Join in with 2 posts:
- 1 post from your blog (personal) – no linkies please
- 1 post from someone else’s blog (your #BlogCrush)
- When you add your BlogCrush (post written by someone else) to the InLinkz form, put “BC” at the beginning of their title
- Tweet your BlogCrush (& us) to let them know you’ve added them to the linky ( @lucy_at_home and @NaptimeNatter )
- Comment using the #BlogCrush hashtag on at least these 4 posts:
- 1 post from Host 1 (personal or BC)
- 1 post from Host 2 (personal or BC)
- 2x personal posts from the rest of the link up
Remember you can always comment on more, though. This is just the minimum. The more effort we put into a linky, the more we all get out of it 🙂

gobblydygookcode in the box below and pasting it into the HTML view of your post.

Blogcrush Week 51
Featured Posts
As co-hosts we get the lovely job of choosing a post each from the previous linky to be our BlogCrushes. Please note: we only choose your personal posts for this special honour (i.e. not your BC nominations) and they must contain the linky badge.
These two favourites are then added back into the linky the following week as featured posts. Alice and I were hosting last week so we’ve chosen the featured posts for BlogCrush Week 51:
Alice’s Blogcrush post is We’re All Stories In The End… by Daydreams of a Mum
Lucy’s Blogcrush post is Reflections by Me and Mini Mees
This wistful post from Matthew about his teenage son is really thought-provoking and asks the question, “can we be free from the demons that hold us back?”. I truly hope that this boy can reach his full potential and shake off his past, but it’s certainly not an easy task…
Congratulations, guys! Please collect your “I’ve been featured” badges from the top of the page
Host Post
My post for BlogCrush Week 51 is called Show-and-tell Develops Confident Kids & Here’s Why…
Do you remember doing show-and-tell at school? Each Friday, there was an opportunity to bring something into school to show the rest of your class – swimming certificates, holiday souvenirs, favourite books, etc. Well I recently had an a bit of a disagreement with Jenny’s class teacher for cancelling show-and-tell. There are so many benefits of hosting show-and-tell, as well as lots of life-skills to be learnt.
Read the whole story here and find out why I was so keen to have it reinstated!
Thank you so much for popping by and joining in with BlogCrush Week 51, either as a linker or as a reader, and I hope to see you again next week.
Love, Lucy x
P.S. Please add the linky badge to your posts as it encourages more people to join in 🙂

I really love the concept of this link up and spreading kindness and sharing the love! This is my first time joining as I only discovered this link party last week when someone shared my link! So much fun. Thanks for hosting!
