BlogCrush Week 58 – 23rd March 2018
Hello, my lovelies, and welcome back – this is BlogCrush Week 58. Welcome back to all our regular linkers and a great big “hi there” to any newbies too!
About BlogCrush
BlogCrush is a linky party to help bloggers reach a wider audience for their work, as well as a community of people who share and support each other. BlogCrush is unique in the linky world because we also showcase our favourite posts by other bloggers too!
– If you’re a blogger, add 2 posts (yours and someone else’s) by clicking on the blue “Add your link” button near the bottom of this post
– If you’re just here to read some fab blogs then keep scrolling and you’ll find the thumbnail links below
For any bloggers who 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
- Alice (Letters To My Daughter) – @L2MyDaughter
Here are BlogCrush, we’re all about celebrating each other and giving each other a good PAT ON THE BACK for a job well done.
If a fellow blogger added your post to the BlogCrush linky, that means they really liked it and they wanted to share it here and get you some extra views and comments. So well done on writing such a fab post! Celebrate your awesomeness by copying the code from the text box below and pasting it into the HTML / text section of your blog!
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 🙂

Featured Posts
Like most linkies, both hosts get to choose a favourite post from the previous link-up – a featured blogger. Here at BlogCrush, we believe these featured posts should get some extra attention so we add them back into the linky for you as our Host BlogCrush posts. This means you get lots of extra views, shares & comments from our lovely linkers.
Alice and I were hosting last week so we’ve chosen the featured posts for BlogCrush Week 58:
Alice’s Blogcrush post is Help, My Baby Needs Open Heart Surgery by Five in the Hive
My Blogcrush post is My Story of Taking Antidepressants by Mrs H’s Favourite Things
What stood out for me in this post was the absolute honesty. There’s a stigma around mental health issues, but there’s an even greater stigma around taking medication to deal with those issues. As someone who has taken antidepressants in the past, I found this post very refreshing and I’m sure it will be a great encouragement to anyone who is worried about medicating, or who feels embarrassed about doing so.
Congratulations to you both! Please collect your “I’ve been featured” badges from the top of the page because you are featured bloggers on BlogCrush Week 58!
Host Post
The post I am linking up this week was one of those rare posts that just pours out of you. When I sat down to write, this topic hadn’t been on my mind at all, but when my site showed up these six little words, I just had to address it somehow…
Do you know how very occasionally, the search engines actually let you know what people have searched in order to be directed to your site? Well last week, I got one of those rare pieces of information, and the words that had been typed were “full time mum need a break”. My heart immediately went out to this poor woman – the whole reason I started this blog was because I used to be her – I was the one googling each of my parenting highs and lows for the reassurance that I was “doing it right”. This post is for her – To The Lady Who Just Googled “Full Time Mum Need A Break”
I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve all brought with you this week and I’m sure it’s going to be another great weekend of sharing and supporting. Thank you for popping by again and here’s the link up for you:
