Ahh that’s better…. tea break

Today I decided that I am having a very London tea break as I frustratingly rebuild and re-design my blog from scratch all over again. I can’t lie and pretend it is all going smoothly, as it really isn’t.

I have hit many technical snags this morning with PNG files and errors to basic pages freezing. I guess this is all a part of the joys of building your own blog, as is the same with game app development. The frustration and stress and sheer emotional rollercoaster that you endure along the way, however when the project is finished afterwards? You know that it is all of your hard work, sweat, tears and tantrums and no one else’s, which makes it that little bit more precious to you.

I have had a few cups of tea and coffee today, but after working on my blog for the past four and a half hours straight, I decided I needed a special cup of tea and a little blog post to lift my spirits. To remind myself how much passion I have for the blog life. How much I miss my London Mummy Blog, and how I can’t wait to get this one up and running.

Suddenly, ahhhh that’s better! I’m all good to go!
