Collaborative Post
BlogCrush Week 55 is live and ready to go! Two weeks ago we celebrated a whole year of the BlogCrush linky and the party isn’t over yet… so keep reading to find out how you could be in with a chance of winning some fab prizes (worth £60+).
About BlogCrush
BlogCrush is a blogger’s linky party so it’a a place where lots of different bloggers showcase their work. However, this linky is unique because we also showcase our favourite posts by other bloggers too!
– 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 to find some of the best blog posts around in the list below. Just keep scrolling to the bottom of this post.
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!
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 here and get you some extra views and comments. That means it must be a pretty fabulous post! You can 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. All posts with a pinnable image will be added to the Blogcrush Pinterest Board, and the host’s blogcrushes will be added to the “best of blogcrush” board! We’d love you to follow those boards and the hosts too 🙂

Blogcrush Week 55
Featured Posts
Every week, the co-hosts select a post each from the previous linky to be our BlogCrushes. These posts are added back into the linky for some extra BlogCrushing love! (Please note: we only choose your personal posts for this special honour, not your BC nominations, and they must contain the linky badge to be eligible).
Alice and I were hosting last week so we’ve chosen the featured posts for BlogCrush Week 55:
Alice’s Blogcrush post is Healthy Eating With Your Little Fusspot! by Life of an Ambitious Turtle
Lucy’s Blogcrush post is Raising Girls: Things They Should Know by Navigating Baby
As a girl mum, this post really resonated with me – as parents, we have such an important job to do in raising the next generation. We also have so many values and beliefs that we want (and need) to pass on in such a short amount of time. I love this round up of important things to think about when raising girls.
Congratulations, ladies! Please collect your “I’ve been featured” badges from the top of the page because you are featured bloggers on BlogCrush Week 55!
Host Post
My post for BlogCrush Week 55 is called When A Child’s Anxiety Trigger Is Her Class Teacher
Regular readers will know my big girl (7) has been suffering with anxiety since before Christmas. I’ve written about the various things we’ve done to tackle it, mostly without success. But last week, we made a real breakthrough and found out the root cause of her worries – school!
Since then, things have started to look up. This post is anecdotal but also packed with (hopefully) useful advice for anyone else who has a child that doesn’t want to go to school.
**BlogCrush 1 Year Giveaway**
To celebrate 1 year of blogcrushing (!), we’re giving you guys the chance to win some FAB prizes! You have until Sunday 11th March to get your entries in (see full terms and conditions at the bottom of this post).
There are two competitions running:
- Most featured BlogCrush-er
- Open BlogCrush Giveaway
Most Featured BlogCrush-er
Every week, the hosts choose a featured post each. We only choose posts that have been linked up in person for this (i.e. not your blogcrushes). We will be looking back over the last 12 months and working out who has been a host featured blogger the most times. This will include the 4 weeks during the competition too.
The prize is The Newbie Giveaway Guide (RRP £20)
This is a 5 week e-course for bloggers (by yours truly) all about how to organise and host your own giveaways, as well as some information about working with brands.
Open BlogCrush Giveaway
This is a rafflecopter giveaway which is open to anyone who has ever linked up with us at BlogCrush. The rafflecopter widget will appear here on BlogCrush Week 55 and on next week’s link up too. You can add entries on any of these weeks.
To ensure that only genuine blogcrush-ers enter, we have made the first entry compulsory. Once you have done this entry, you will unlock other ways of entering the competition and each entry increases your chances of winning the prize bundle.
There will be one winner and the prize bundle (worth over £60) is as follows:
- 1 Tired Mums’ Club T-shirt (size of your choice) from Momma Makes (RRP £16)
- 1 Newbie Bloggers Giveaway Guide course from Lucy At Home (RRP £20)
