Hello everyone! We are on BlogCrush Week 69 and it’s a special one because we have a new guest host! Liberty from Liberty on the Lighter Side will be co-hosting for a few weeks as Alice is taking some time off.

Welcome to the team, Liberty!

About BlogCrush

BlogCrush is a “linky” so it’s a place where bloggers can share their best posts and find some new readers. This linky opens at 6am (BST) on a Friday; a blue button will appear at the bottom of this page saying “add your link” – that means the linky is ready for bloggers to add their work.

– If you’re a blogger, add 2 posts (1 of yours AND 1 by someone else) 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 – each will take you to a different blog post

If you’re new to linkies and you’re not sure how to do it, don’t panic! Check out my beginner’s linky guide for some help and advice, and feel free to message me if you have any specific questions.

This week’s hosts are:

• Lucy (Lucy At Home) – @lucy_at_home
• Liberty (Liberty on the Lighter Side) – @libertyhenwick

If you’ve ever read a blog post and thought, “This is brilliant. Everyone needs to read this!” then BlogCrush is the linky for you! We ask our linkers to add a post of their own AND a post they’ve enjoyed that was written by someone else. That means extra exposure for the posts and it’s a great confidence boost to the blogger you nominate.

If you’re here because someone nominated you for BlogCrush…

Congratulations! Someone must have really liked your post! You don’t have to do anything, but if you would like to display you “I was featured on blogcrush” badge, that would be great. Just copy the code from the text box below and paste it into the HTML / text section of your blog!

We try to pin all posts with a pinnable image will be added to the Blogcrush Pinterest Board, but we may struggle a little this week with the handover from Alice to Liberty. Please be assured that we are trying to get this sorted ASAP.

Blogcrush Week 69

Featured Posts

Bloggers can choose any post they wish as their BlogCrush. But as hosts, we choose one of the fab linkers from the previous week and add them back into the linky again as “host featured posts.”

Wendy and I were hosting last week so we’ve chosen the featured posts for BlogCrush Week 69:

Wendy’s Blogcrush choice is TBC

My Blogcrush choice is Broken Cookies by Writer Side Of Life

The description of getting out of bed when you’re weary and aching had me yearning for a rest, just reading it. But it was the unexpected twist in the last paragraph of this post that has really stayed with me – a great post for casting some new perspective on life.

Congratulations! Please collect your “I’ve been featured” badges from the top of the page because you are featured bloggers on BlogCrush Week 69!

Host Post

For BlogCrush Week 69, I’m linking up How To Do Gentle Parenting Without Pandering To Your Kids

Gentle parenting gets a bad wrap but it’s something I feel really passionately about. This post boils gentle parenting down to its simplest form and offers some practical ways to enforce gentle parenting discipline in your house.
