Post Comment Love and Newbie Showcase 29th November to 1st December 2013
Happy Friday everybody! Welcome to this weeks Post Comment Love and Newbie Showcase. I think, as I have now officially written December in the title of this blog, we can have a little bit of Christmas decoration going on on the old PoCoLo badge, don’t you?
I am SO excited about Christmas!! Our Elf on the Shelf is on order, I am pleased to say I’ve done most of my Christmas shopping and we are all booked up to see Father Christmas at London Zoo a week on Sunday. I won a years membership from ZSL back at Mums Show Live in May and haven’t had the chance to use it yet – this seemed like the perfect excuse! Plus, Grace and I are on a road trip to London on Sunday to see the new Moshi Monster Movie. Personally, I don’t get Moshi Monsters. Grace will probably think I am stupid for saying that! We are hoping to make a little trip out of it so, after seeing the film we are off to Regents Street to look at all the Christmas windows and hopefully see some lights 🙂
This week I blogged about my John Lewis Secret Santa gift, Christmas in Bath, my trip to bake with Brioche Pasquier, my love hate relationship with fridge freezers (yes, really!), there’s some great Gumigem Prizes up for grabs in last week’s Weekend Winner and you still have the chance until tomorrow morning to win a Moshi Monster Charm watch, there’s a great offer from Wrappz too. As well as all of that there was a great Guest What from Suzanne at 3 Children and It about the positives of having tweens and teens in your life and yesterday’s Prose for Thought was a poem from Izzy Dix’s teacher – a follow on from last week’s Anti-Bullying week.
Because #PoCoLo is so busy now – thank you so much to all of you for making it such a success – I will be commenting on all posts (even if it takes me to the following PoCoLo and beyond!) BUT I will only be tweeting your post if you either are displaying the PoCoLo badge or linking back to my blog. This is by way of a thank you from me to you for supporting the linky.
The only rules are that you comment on at least two of the other posts in the link (maybe the one above and one below yours?!) and then spread the #PoCoLo about this link up on Twitter. The post you link up has to have been written in the last week. The link will go up every Friday at 6.30am and close on Sunday evening at 8pm.
Remember, the more people who link up, the more attention your post is likely to get so please spread the Post Comment Love word and #PoCoLo. Also, don’t forget to display the PoCoLo Badge (code below), again the more people who see it, the more attention your lonely post will get.
I have a list for the Newbie Showcase running into July 2014! If you would like to be featured then please email me at vickywelton@hotmail.com so I can put you on the rota. Remember, your blog needs to be under a year old to feature.
This week’s newbie showcase is the wonderful woman I know as Dragonsflypoppy! She is a fabulously talented writer and a good friend. I keep saying that she should write a book…I look forward to reading that one day too. I’m a bit embarrassed to publish the first bit but she wrote it.

Sorry for the late comment, busy mad few days 🙂 Christmas shopping and painting lol. Thanks so much for hosting, stopping by other blogs to leave some comments now 🙂
Enjoyed reading this. So many people seem to be doing the ‘elf on the shelf’ thing this year. I hadn’t even heard of it before but that might partly be because this is going to be my first Christmas as a parent. Thanks for hosting the linky!
I’m starting to feel all festive now, decorations go up tomorrrow yay! I’m joining in again with another Thrifty Thursday post, they are the only post I seem to have time for at the moment, hopefully it will all quieten down a bit in the new year 🙂

Welcome to Newbie Showcase Elizabeth – will be heading over to your blog shortly…
Thank you so much for enabling me to be the newbie this week and for your quite wonderful introduction. Really looking forward to reading through the posts this week and helping to spread the #PoCoLo love xxx
Lots on as ever Mrs, sounds like you’re having a wonderful time though. Santa will be brilliant at the weekend, Grace will love it! I’ve linked up a review and giveaway this week, it needs some #PoCoLo 🙂
It’s so fab how you highlight some great new bloggers. As a writer I’m thrilled to start following more closely the writings and blog posts of Dragonsflypoppy. And by the way I’ve pinned your Christmas in Bath on my pinterest board ‘British city guides’ which I just very recently created to highlight British bloggers family friendly posts on UK cities.
