Happy hundred

Well this is a bit of a milestone. Blog post number one hundred. I can't quite believe that there have been one hundred different things that I've wanted to talk about and remember here, but apparently there have! So I've taken a scroll down memory lane to remember some of my favourite posts - and some that I've had lovely feedback on too. I still genuinely do a little shocked face whenever anyone tells me they read my blog (let alone enjoy it!) because I never really write imagining anyone reading it, I just enjoy the process of doing it. But it's lovely to get good feedback - my fave so far being a friend, someone whose taste I trust, telling me he has had a read and that "it's actually not shit". It was the best compliment. So with that in mind, here's some of my fave posts from the last one hundred - the actually not shit ones...

• Two of my most favourite posts so far are also two of the most-read - the thing about weddings and why I'm not ready for baby number two just yet (aka stop asking me please!)
• I remember this day with pals so fondly and loved how these pictures came out - another from the day that didn't make the cut is above
• Some early ones that meant a lot at the time. The kind of posts that felt like writing them down helped me figure things out: finding balance and what I've learnt about parenting 
• When I made a foray into new topics for the first time with things like my easy peasy cheesy salmon quiche recipe, and my top ten winter coats 
• A more recent one I'm quite proud of - why I'm raising a feminist son. Something I feel strongly about (and apparently some of you do too, which is nice)
• And to end the list, the very first post I ever wrote. A few snaps from an evening that I probably would've forgotten all about forever if it wasn't for this 

Nice to look back on times and feelings that may have been a fleeting thought, quickly replaced by something more mundane like "why are ALL of Arlo's socks odd?" or "what day is it again?" But I managed to capture them, write them down and keep them. Thanks to anyone who's read even one of the hundred posts so far, and don't worry, I won't do gittish ones like this too often.
