That was the week that was

It's 6.40am on a Saturday morning, the inky sky is just starting to temper itself with the faintest hint of morning and the birds are either happy about this or having one almighty barny in the trees behind the house. As is often the case at the weekend I ruminate on the week that was and the week that is to be. I stare at the wall for a while and notice that yesterdays pasta and tomato sauce is stippled across it in tiny dots. I consider getting up to wipe it. I tap out this little post instead.

Monday was day one of commando potty training, I was jetlagged and extremely grateful to my three guest bloggers for babysitting my corner of the blogosphere for a week. If you missed their wonderful posts you can read them here: Stay at Home Dad and Proud, It will all be fine, A Party of Seven. I seem to remember that there was lots of coffee involved on this day.

Tuesday Heather at Stay At Home Mum Loving It wrote a fab beginners guide to Orlando and Walt Disney World which anyone considering going should head over and read. It's a great summary of must dos. I'm planning a tips post on travelling with a toddler soon too. 

On Wednesday Him up North explained the ebbs and flows of blogging in Listen to your Blogorhythms which made perfect sense and there was a very interesting post on Kommein about badmouthing brands in social media which is well worth the read. I heard on the Twittervine that Mich from Mummy from the Heart is speaking at Brit Mums Live 2012 and remembered that I'd finally booked my ticket. (I may have squealed a bit.) I saw that @Ghostwrittermumm has had her baby, a beautiful little girl, and my heart swelled.

On Thursday I wrote About Last Night (which was, funnily enough, about last night, the clue being in the title) and guest posted a little ditty called Lost over at A Party of Seven. Seasider in the City hosted Reasons to be Cheerful. I always try to take part to keep me mindful of the positive things that happen around here. Or I make them up. Either way I'm more cheerful.

Then Friday reared it's pretty little head and Dear the Queen made me chuckle into my coffee. He's a funny one that Stay at Home Dad and Proud.

What did you get up to this week on t'internet? Any posts of note that you'd like to share?
