Almost at the end of the second week and starting to schedule posts again today. There was a point this when I could easily have given up on this challenge. It doesn’t sound that difficult to people who aren’t doing it but writing a blog post every day for a month is as difficult as a diet. There’s a huge amount of stamina and discipline involved and when you have an off-day and you’re tired, you’d rather watch TV than sit in front of the laptop, blogging. It’s especially difficult when there aren’t many people engaging with the posts. That makes it feel pointless at times but I’m going to…

A to Z Blogging Challenge: J is for Jaffa Cakes
I have a limited amount of time today, so this post might be a lot shorter than my other A to Z Blogging Challenge Posts. Today is J and I struggled to think of something I wanted to write for J. In the end, I came up with Jaffa Cakes. I love jaffa cakes but I haven’t had one for probably about thirteen or fourteen years. Because allergies. I have so many. I’ve spent that time looking for a recipe so I can make them at home and haven’t found one yet. I’ve tried a few, but they haven’t been quite right. For those who have never had the pleasure…

How A Pet Helps You During A Panic Attack
Those who suffer from severe anxiety are often prone to panic attacks. These attacks can last for up to 20 minutes, and regular attacks can have such a detrimental effect on a person’s quality of life.

This is where a pet can be such a huge help. A DOG’S INCREDIBLE SENSE OF SMELL It is common knowledge that dogs have an extraordinary sense of smell, one that is far greater than that of humans. However, in addition to using…

A to Z Blogging Challenge: I is for Interlagos
I try to make every post on my site contain at least 1,000 words. That’s because Google sees posts that are that length and over as highly authoritative and affects my site’s credibility. But sometimes, you just don’t have 1,000 words to say about a topic. Reviews for example are really difficult to stretch out to 1,000 word at times. Then there are other topics I’ve written about that end up with almost 2,000 words. There’s even been the rare occasion when I’ve had a post that reads like a novella. Today on the A to Z Blogging Challenge I’m writing about Interlagos, a place I thought I could write…

A to Z Blogging Challenge: H is for Home
Today for the A to Z Blogging Challenge, I was going to write about H for Health and that’s what was mentioned yesterday on my Gibraltar post. That’s not the vibe I am feeling today though. Although good health is vitally important for all my family and I wouldn’t have my best possible life without them all having excellent health, I can’t stick it on the wish list today. Partly because I feel like if we had our best life possible, then excellent health would follow. It’s a chicken and egg scenario. So, instead today is going to represent H for Home. I want a new one. I am almost…
