It’s a funny thing, this Blog Love regular slot. Some weeks I itch to do more than one, and have a string of bookmarked possibles ready.  Some weeks I read and read and read blogs (I know, the job’s a tough one) and struggle to find one that strikes a chord.

And then other weeks happen like today. I ‘forget’ Blog Love Friday because I forget it’s Friday – until my computer chirpily pings up a reminder. I duly squash the reminder, telling it to come back later. Which it does, and too often my Fridays are paved in a series of reminder chirrups that just will not leave me alone (but I dare not dismiss rather than extend, as I’d never remember then).  Saturday morning, there it is again – Chirrup!). Saturday, Busy Day. Sit down to absorb the ten minutes peace I have as all children settle down for the night, flick to twitter, and follow the first link to a blog post – and shazzam. I read, I absorb, I nod in agreement, I go back and read a bit again – and hey presto, Blog Love made easy.

You may not have been born in the mid-70′s (the writer and I must be almost identical ages), but the essence of the post is the same, whoever you are, whichever era you’re from. One sentence struck me, and has been roaming around in my brain since: “Days go on forever, years seem to evaporate.”

I’m not so convinced that our Mothers worried in the way we do – I think we are a generation of second-guessers, and question ourselves far more on our parenting skills than others have before. But I do agree that all things come full circle, and we are all, in so many ways, our mothers. And every mother.

So – take a stroll over to Being a Mummy and see what I’m talking about. I dare you not to smile in recognition of yourself.
