It feels like I’ve been away for ages folks (it was only a week!) Welcome back to Brilliant Blog Posts anyway!
Thanks for all the blog love while I was away in Marbella chaps and linking up your diverse and fittingly brilliant posts over my 2 week #brilliantblogposts linky.
…There was a little passport drama the day before we flew so not everyone in my family made it to Spain in the end but I’ll let you read all about it in the POST.
Huge thanks to the gorgeous James Villa Holidays for the utterly stunning villa they asked me to review while there.
I’m linking up one epic post brimming with photos I have taken for a change as my paparazzo husband stayed back in Blighty; I hope you enjoy our Spanish adventures as much as we did having them.
I’ve also started blogging for Woman Magazine so I’ve linked up my first recipe post for them too. Enjoy!
As always, please do link up your posts across all genres, as many as you like and don’t forget to share the blog love, commenting on a minimum of 3 posts linked up. Absolutely everyone is welcome to join in.
Do tweet me @honestmummy too if you fancy a RT,

Thanks for the welcome, I feel like I’ve stumbled on a little Aladdin’s Cave, haha.
I’ve not read all of the entries as not everything is ‘up my street’, but I’ve spent more time reading this afternoon than I probably should of and am still only about half way through the list so far – definitely keeping me quiet and out of trouble ๐
Found some great new blogs to follow, so I’m happy ๐
Oh the beauty of the linky is pick what you fancy, so glad you’re enjoying yourself, thanks for linking up x
Looks like a great location and how wonderful to have family out there. Hope you can get your wedges soon! And well done on the new role at Woman magazine.
Ha thanks so much John, managed to buy others while I was there and some heels, in fact it was a good job Peter stayed at home! Ha! Might have to pick up to MK ones online.
