What is this blog about


I am amazing and inspired by all the amazing blogs out in blogland. The mummy blogs, the crafty blogs, the inspirational blogs, the funny blogs, the green blogs, photography blogs, the cooking blogs....

When I read them they give me encouragement and ideas about raising my children. They help me realise that I am not the only mum out there that loves motherhood to pieces but sometimes (or more often then that) feels snowed under by it. They help me see how fleeting and precious childhood is. They help me to not take the blessing of being a mother for granted.
All the creative blogs out there, whether they be sewing, photography, knitting, crafting or cooking, encourage me to develop talents and and do something that I enjoy. Many a online tutorial has saved the day when I have been elbow deep into some project when I thought I could just wing it.
Then there are the blogs wrote by the people who are just trying to live the best that they can. They inspire their readers to do the same by sharing little snippets of their lives, the good and the bad, but always inspiring.
All these many wonderful blogs out there are part of the reason I have decided to start this one. I have called it Simply Daily Moments because it is often the simple daily moments that others share that I love to read. One week when my children were sick and I was trying to come up with something special to do with them I realised just how special our life already was and more often then not it was the simple daily moments that made it that way. That week I also decided that I should create simple special moments or at least identify them daily rather then waiting for the dull or sick times to create them as a pick me up. So this is my little place where I can document the simple daily moments in my life that I find inspiring and also what I have done with the inspiration that I receive from others. One day I might build up the nerve to tell someone else about this blog but until then I am happy to record and relive those simple but oh so special daily moments with myself.
