Yes, it's Friday again and the weekend is almost here! Yay! Welcome back to another week of Post Comment Love where you can link up your best or favourite post of the week. Stephanie and I look forward to reading your posts each week. What have you got for us this week?
I've been doing some learning and growing this week. If you're a regular visitor you'll know I'm trying to start a new prints business, using some of my own drawings. I had never considered offering a logo design to bloggers. But early last week a blogging buddy asked me to design a logo for her. I was SO scared that I wouldn't be able to do it but after a little discussion I put it together and she loved the result. I couldn't believe it. I had managed to create something real for someone and they liked it! It felt so lovely knowing she liked her design and that I had created it. So apparently I can design logos too! hehe.
I've also been learning with my drawing too. I was struggling to get my drawings looking just right, there was something off about it, but after doing a little reading and playing around with settings I think I've found a solution and things are looking better. Now all I need to do is re-colour everything!

As for everything else, well we had a weird evening on Tuesday this week. LP was out at the Nottingham Playhouse doing something with school and he wasn't due home until 6:30pm. BP came in from school and promptly told us he was going out again to meet up with friends. It was 4pm and the house was quiet. And I suddenly realised that it won't be long until the house is like that all that time. When LP is a teen and off out with friends all the time and BP is either at Uni or has a job our house will be quiet. It was both a daunting and exciting prospect. My boys are growing up, they're starting to need me less, and while I hate that the house is quiet when it isn't usually I do love that they are growing and learning to need me less. They're becoming independent. Their lives are in front of them and it is so exciting (and nerve-wracking) to watch.
I'm looking forward to chilling out this weekend, although I'm not sure we'll get time for much chilling because we have a few jobs around the house planned.
What are you up to this weekend?
Blogger Showcase Precious Udoh from Upwrites
Who are you?
My name is Precious Udoh. I'm a Nigerian and a soon-to-be 20-year old blogger. I am currently in my finals as an undergraduate in the University of Lagos. Although I'm studying Marine Biology, I love writing.
How did you discover blogs/blogging?
I first discovered a blog on instagram by one of the ladies I follow. She was into poems and short stories and that captivated me. That was over 2 years ago. There was a chance to blog at WordPress and I didn't hesitate to click the button. Now, I've moved to a new blog with an hosting plan.
Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging because I loved writing and I found it a medium to share many things which are pinned to my memory.
What do you find most challenging?
I find thinking and writing on the next post very challenging. With time, I'm getting used to it, hence I prepare ahead.
What is your favourite topic to write about?
My favorite topic is 'Health' because this is a very crucial aspect in our lives. I center on mental illnesses such as depression.
Are you blogging for fun or do you have goals?
I find it blogging to be fun. Nonetheless, I have goals. I want to be a unique blogger in my time such that I don't have to depend on lies to make money like most bloggers do. I want to, at the same time, be happy to reach millions and billions of people due to my passion to help people and eradicate depression.
Have you ever attended a blogging conference and if so, what did you think?
I have never attended a blogging conference.
What are your 3 best posts?
My best three posts are:
And
Describe yourself in three words!
Three things about me: I'm calm, tolerant and enthusiastic.
Are you a tea and biscuits or coffee and cake person?
I'm a tea and biscuits person
What's your idea of a perfect night out?
Unfortunately, I don't do night outs!
Your perfect night in?
For a night in, I'd love to watch movies, chat and tweet, yeah.
What would your best friend/OH/mum or kids say is your best quality?
My best friend will say I'm amazing because I keep unwrapping God's grace in my life daily.
