Fifty

























"Mum when are you going to start your blog?" This was a question I was asked over and over again after I first muted this idea at the start of the year. Well after two years of reading other wonderful blogs I finally started Just a little less at the end of September.

So after fifty consecutive days of posting what have I learnt?

 That I love writing.
◊ That there are some fabulous blogs out there that I didn't know about       
   and wouldn't have discovered if I hadn't started this blog. 
That the blog community is supportive and friendly.
◊ That writing about minimalism/simple living in the UK is something that 
   people want to read about, both in this country and around the world.
◊ That I'm slowly getting better at photography.
◊ That I like a routine of regular posts for some days of the week.
◊ I like writing random posts too.
◊ That writing has to be personal and from the heart.
◊ That my family hate their food going cold if I'm photographing it.
◊ Posts about clothes and interiors are popular.
◊ There is never a right time to start a blog.
◊ Blogging about your interests or values can help keep you focused.

Where do I go from here?

I started this blog because of my enjoyment of reading other peoples' blogs. I wanted to create a blog which would inspire simple living and minimalism in the UK. I also wanted to create a personal blog that readers would feel at home with. 

Regular posting is something that's important to me when I read other blogs, so I'll stick with my daily posts, but I will let you know if I have to miss a day or two.

As a newbie blogger, I am interested in knowing what you like reading about at Just a little less so please feel free to comment. 

Thank you all for reading, commenting and following.

  2. I love your blog - and understand your family's frustration at meal times [oh no! she wants to take a picture before we eat this!!] Your reasons for blogging are so similar to my own [mine grew out of reading other blogs first]

    I enjoy the variety of your posts - and don't worry if you cannot post daily [it is too easy to get some sort of false guilt about 'letting followers down']

    blessings to you and yours xx

  5. 50 days in a row is really quite impressive. I do think your blog is well written and interesting. I'm always trying to de-clutter and like the idea of living with less, although it's a slow process! I like to read about it, nice to have met you, Heather x
