Gratitude (and Linky love)

Again, another heartfelt thank you for all the comments and emails I received after yesterday's post. It's almost as if a weight has been lifted and I feel a bit liberated that I shared and received so much support and insight into your lives in return. I haven't managed to email everyone back yet individually so I'd feel disrespectful blogging until I'm done. So instead, check out some posts that I've liked this week from other people:

• If you want to see modelled pictures of the retro car hoodie, head on over to nickynackynoo's incredibly kind post here. Her son is adorable.
• I found this post by Pickled Weasel about guilt, motherhood, crafting and blogging really insightful. It might have actually been the impetus behind my self-flaggellation fest because I could relate to it so much.
• Mrs Jelly recommended that I follow Piece of Cake a while back because she thought we had a similar sense of humour. Turns out she was right, I love her blog, her delicious photos and tales of her 150 children. She wrote a post this morning about the double edged sword that is blog follower stats and I did laugh out loud more than once.
• And if you have a chance, pop over to Food of Love as Eileen is looking for some advice on how to get her blog more established.
