FYBF – Happy Flogiversary

May 10, 2013 By: mamagrace7149 Comments

52 editions of FYBF done and dusted and I’m still here…phew!

Where did the time go?  It feels like only yesterday I wore my Princess Leia buns for the first time.  But when scrolling through the Instagram FYBF party photos, the Featured Flogger posts, the Whip It! Vlog…dang! We’ve done a lot, you and I!

And to commemorate, feel free to bend the FYBF rules a little today and post your favourite/most popular post…ever!

Thank you so much for joining in on every crazy carpet ride with me – from sending through your baby photos to ones of big, bad hair.

There’s going to be more Friday fun antics…including a get together on the 31st of May after The Mother Tongue production in Sydney.

I’ve booked us some space at The Crane Bar in Potts Point.  Just RSVP here and we’ll see your smiling face, yes?

1. Follow With Some Grace.

2. Sign up to the awesome Digital Parents community ( if you haven’t already done so). DP was created by Brenda Gaddi who happens to be the creator of FYBF. She’s also created 4 gorgeous kidlets. In case you’d like to know. Or maybe not. But we’ll share that info just the same.

3. Add your post URL to the linky. Please only link up one post.

4. Grab the funky FYBF button and post it on your sidebar. Help spread the blogfloggin love.

5. Visit the blogs of your fellow FYBF’ers and share the comment love.

6. Share some more comment love. It’s proven to make your wrinkles disappear…overnight. #truth

    What a milestone. I raise my glass to you, Grace (though given the hour it is sadly full of tea!) for hosting the linky love for all of us floggers 52 weeks! You’re awesome. And given the icy chill this morning you’ve inspired me to link up a snowier post. 😉

    Good on you Grace – I’ve only linked up over the last six weeks or so, but it has been fun, loving the connections. My linked post is actually a letter I wrote to our daugther’s birthmother – pretty personal, but very appropriate with mother’s day this weekend. thanks again…kathy

    Happy flogiversary Grace!

    It’s been entertaining, fun and generally awesome being a part of this most weeks.

    This week I’ve linked up a post which isn’t my most popular, and is probably not the most entertaining or exciting, but I love it because it shows me how much life has changed for us within the last year. Less than a year ago, my third child was on the cusp of mobility. Now she’s a running, climbing, toddlering menace! A cute one though 😉

    Have a great day xx

    I just checked my stats to see what my most popular posts of all time are, which I’ve never done. Happily my About page is pretty popular ;D But by far my most popular actual post is the pretty innocent one I wrote on “cameltoe”… because there are some sick puppies out there let me tell you- you don’t want TO SEE the search terms. So mayhaps I’ll go with that for old times.

    Happy FYBF Grace! You’ve been such a bloggy inspiration with the warmth and generosity you bring to this little community. I’d love to link up my favourite post, but sadly my blog is thwarting me and seems to be off on Friday drinks a little early. It’s down and out and apparently broken. 🙁

    Happy Flogiversary Grace! Job well done … and all while mother twin boys! As a fellow mother of twin boys (albeit older now) – very admirable 😉 I’m a bit late in realising it was to be a favourite blog post ever day today, so have just linked up my ‘today’s post’. I think I would be hard pressed to work out my fav post ever anyway … hmmm *scratching head*!! I’ll be celebrating on May 31st too – but not at the mother tongue production in Sydney unfortunately! I’ll be celebrating in my own little way coz it’s my birthday that day. All the best to you! Min xo

    Happy flogiversary! It’s been a fabulous year!

    I’m linking up my ninth most popular post. The top eight are mainly popular due to some weird and wacky google searches (I hope) and due to being common targets of spam comments. (They’re about garden gnomes, cheese tim tams, dad jokes, giraffe vocal cords and butt puns. And I thought my blog was classy…)

    My most popular post is about chocolate messy desserts! I would never have thought it when I wrote it nearly a year ago. It was done in a hurry too (the ones you labour over, wallow in no-hit land!!). In fact, all my most popular posts are ones that I never thought would be still ranking in Google….but I am not complaining!
