In keeping with our current month-by-month playbook, today we'll be featuring May. I confess to be struggling to find a noteworthy song about May. Which is disappointing, it being the month of my birth and all. Apparently Arcade Fire has one called 'Month of May', but I am not young enough or cool enough to be able to hum that one.
So I'll skip right to the Rewind bit. The drill is this: you dust off an old post (preferably from May last year or earlier, or featuring something about May, but you know I'll take anything so don't fret), you link it up below, you browse through the other links and leave a little comment love, just to be friendly. So easy. So much fun. So...
My offering for this week is all about that May institution: Mothers' Day. Specifically how Mothers' Day, like motherhood, rarely goes to plan.
Okay, that's it. Let the Rewind begin! And don't forget to visit those other wonderful one-stop weekend linky shops: Maxabella's Grateful Saturday and Blog Gems at The King And Eye (Sunday).
What about Maggie May by Rod Stewart?
ReplyDeleteMy post is about the gift of mothering that just keeps giving - the guilt.
Oh yes - perfect. Contains one of my favourite lines:
ReplyDelete"The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age..."
My husband is so busted. He KNEW that a post about him was a May post. It's his ego request.

I don't have a May one - or really a mother's day one...so I've linked up one about mummy bloggers that are inspiring me at the moment - enjoy :-)

Really loving the rewinds, Allison.
ReplyDeleteNot being a mother, my post link is about a day in May 2010 when the weather was gorgeous and I went out for the day to see some art installations in Walsh Bay.
It's wet outside. A bit cold. Inspired my choice today! Happy weekend to you, Yarg.x
ReplyDeleteTotally unrelated to May itself, but one of my very fave posts of last year happened to fall in May. Bonus!
ReplyDeleteI have linked up one that got no comments - after reading it I can see that it really did need some more work but hey that was all the time I had back then. Thanks for the chance to link up! Naomi x
ReplyDeleteI have linked up - hope I didn't mess it up. I am a bit new so my blog post is not that old. Originally written in November. Thanks Alison, awesome opportunity for the newbies. Much love x
ReplyDeleteI'm in. I'm surprised that I found one that wasn't sad.
ReplyDeleteI love that you do this each week! I've linked a post I did in May, when we were living in a rental house in Brisbane. The kids were all kinds of excited!
ReplyDeleteoh I linked up earlier and came back now to read some others... but I can't see the linky. Where did it go?
ReplyDeletewant to join in but can't find the linky.

Hi everyone, thanks for joining in! The Linky Tools people decided to do some maintenance and all the linkys disappeared. Hopefully it will be business as usual again next week. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteMissed out again *sigh* but my inter country travels (and a family weekend away) are now DONE and I will be back with gusto next week :D Jen
