Hello lovely peeps,
Ever noticed how easy it is to come on line and unintentionally end up on Pinterest? The first thing I do when logging on is check my emails & I've started getting the Pinterest notification emails again so obviously I need to quickly peek at a comment left, who's been repining my pins or who a lovely new follower is & that's it then, they've got me! Before I know it an hour has passed & I haven't even replied to all the emails I intended to let alone got around to writing my blog post & we have our gorgeous little man Ollie staying with us so I am banning myself from Pinterest for one week, well ish, I have now reached 750 fabulous followers so I don't want them all thinking I've left Pinterest do I lol.
Today is new challenge day at
