AD | 8 Amazing Blog You Must Read This May

Hello, happy May! Can you believe we are 5 months into the year? Like, what?!

Although I love the start of a new month, It’s a bitter sweet day for me. May 1st is my Mother’s birthday. Whenever it’s her birthday or the anniversary of her passing, I light a candle to remember her and make a point of reminiscing on the good memories.

So it’s a strange day for me because I’m in my feelings about missing her but I’m also so excited it’s a new month filled with new possibilities.

Anyway, that’s a conversation for another time. Today is all about my May advertisers. A wonderful bunch of blogs that I highly recommend you check out.

Get ready to feast your eyes on amazing blogs that you must read this May!

8 Blogs you must read - Monty’s Blahg blog header image

First up I have Monty from montysblahg.com with me again for advertising and it’s so nice to have Monty here. I have really grown fond of Monty’s work over these past few months and thoroughly enjoy the poems he shares.

On Monty’s Blahg you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to content. His writing really is wonderful and I can’t imagine his words won’t strike a cord with you. Monty’s writing pulls you in and keeps your attention and I particularly like that the way he portrays his words is very down to earth.

I’ve mentioned before that his Golden Shovel posts are my favourite but I am drawn towards his A to Z posts at the moment. I recommend reading Q is for…Questions (#AtoZ). That’s my favourite as it reminds me of my son a lot and the endless questions he asks daily.

Here’s a couple of posts you might like –

  • My First A to Z Challenge Reflection (#AtoZ)
  • Golden Shovel April Round-Up

A little about Monty’s Blahg:

“My words are as varied as the experiences life has thrown at me. Always personal and emotionally honest. Mostly autobiographical, observational, and free of fake news. Periodically humorous, sometimes intentionally but often not.”

Next up I have Rachel from jasperdenhealth.com with me for May advertising and as always, it’s an absolute pleasure to have Rachel advertising with me again.

Rachel’s blog is a firm staple in my blog binge I do every few days. With posts that are both informative and inviting, you’ll be hooked by Rachel’s writing. Her blog focuses on health, but Rachel always finds a way to make it more appealing to a wider audience.

I particularly like that I feel safe with the information Rachel shares and I trust what she is telling me. I’ve mentioned before, but I personally use her blog to help me on my health journey. I’ve found it to be a great resource in changing habits and learning about health in more depth.

An important post for Rachel I think you should check out right now is her post Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day. Especially as Ovarian Cancer Awareness is on May 8th.

A Little about Jasperden Health:

“Hello. I’m Rachel. A former nurse and couch potato. Now, a runner, a lover of exercise, a cat lover and passionate about health and well being. As I love food, I’m particularly fascinated with the effects of food on our bodies. Good and bad. I have personally found that changing my diet has helped me to manage minor health issues. I hope to inspire you to follow a healthier life and to more importantly, enjoy its benefits. Feel free to check out my favourite recipes on my “Recipes” pages.”

I absolutely adore The Grumpy Olive blog as there’s always new content that’s perfect for a binge.

There’s genuinely something for everyone no matter what your interest.

From food to lifestyle, you’ll find it all on The Grumpy Olive.

The sisters, Simona, Fred and Cristina have such a lovely blog and writes amazing posts that feel very inviting and friendly.

One post that I’ve loved recently by them is their Passion Fruit Curd – Easy & Quick Recipe. It sounds so delicious and I just have to try it myself.

A Little about Jenny In Neverland:

“I’m a blogger who creates content on blogging, well-being and self growth, aimed to guide bloggers to grow and gain confidence in the industry. But you might also find a bit of beauty, travel and Disney from time to time too.

I’ve been blogging for over 6 years, having started out just reviewing books and have been a full-time blogger for around 2 and a half years. Despite having started as a very niche hobby (I still love books, just no longer review them!) over time, I grew to enjoy expanding my topics more and more and I firmly found my feet within the “lifestyle” sector.”

Over on Alex’s blog you will be treated to a whole host of amazing content that focuses on Pinterest as well as topics such as lifestyle, health and wellness, blogging and more.

With so much content ready for you to feast your eyes on, you’ll be spoiled for choice.

I personally really enjoy Alex’s Pinterest content as I’m still bewildered by Pinterest and making the most of it.

So, I love being able to get advice that actually works and you can implement to see real results. And Alex has that!

With her expertise I feel comfortable in knowing that the information offered isn’t all fluff and genuinely works.

A post I really find informative from Alex is her post Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About the Free Pinterest Scheduler.

It makes using Pinterest so much easier and less overwhelming.
