The atmosphere of the early years of blogging - this is why I'm here, too. So many bloggers changed their paths to social media and doing ads or creating their own products / businesses. I had almost nothing to read. This platform is like a treasure mine :)

I envy your daughter such an open attitude to the water. I, as an adult, cannot swim.

I completely agree! It's become such a business, which is great for those making careers out of it, but I definitely miss the simple days of writing what's on our hearts and sharing things we truly care about. I'm so excited for this platform too!

Aw, yeah she absolutely loves it! I'm super grateful.

Ahh I totally agree. I got into blogs briefly in 2008! Feels like we’re back there. ✨📩✨

I’ve been enjoying reading in this space & contemplating my navel AND actually posting some of my scribbles.

Haha I haven’t posted anything yet. I’m now over analysing anything I write & agonising over the layout, my header/title, what I want it to look like blah blah blah.....I am doing some rather serious faffing 😂

Oh man, yeah it's definitely easy to fall into the trap of making it "perfect"! You've just got to go for it! I can't wait to read what you've written!
