I did it my way!

I have recently read a few articles online giving food bloggers advice as to what's hot and what's not for 2013. I am sure these posts are all just in jest and they provide an amusing read but the one point I would like to make is that your food blog is exactly that, yours. I will be continuing to use my whitewashed boards, my patterned linens, my strings of twine and my children if I wish. Your blog is meant to be a snapshot into your life, sharing memories and recipes that you adore and conveying feelings into words and pictures. So my advice to my fellow bloggers is do it your way, use props, don't use props, do whatever pleases you because that little corner of the World Wide Web is yours and it's up to you to put your stamp on it!
Rant over! Here is my favourite picture of some string, oh and a mince swirl.....

  2. You know what, it has started people talking about food blogging, about what they like, about their opinions, about what they are comfortable with! If you're comfortable and happy with what you do then don't change it. It's your blog!

  7. That's exactly my motto Paula - you've just put it very eloquently! But isn't that the great joy of blogging? Nobody can tell you what to say, do or think - just be yourself...
