The Pretty Pintastic Party #58

GOOD MORNING!

Are you excited for summer?! I’m excited for all the recipes!! I find Summer fruit so pretty to photograph! And it’s also the perfect time for homemade ice cream!

I would love to be able to go out and enjoy the sun, but the fact I have the skin tone of a ghost means that even with SPF50 on I can pretty much watch my skin burn, so I’ll stick to the shade… I hear tomato red skin isn’t really in!

Do you have any major plans for Summer or are you just looking forward to some down time with family? I’ll be working a lot, but since I work from home mostly I do still get to enjoy some time relaxing with a good book! I finally feel like I’m getting some kind of work/life balance now! I know I work best in the mornings, so that’s when I get the most important things done, I then leave social media tasks to the afternoon where I can watch some TV whilst scheduling stuff.

I have a tendency to still over work myself, but I’m really trying to have at least one day off a week! How do you strike a balance between family life and work? Any tips for me – whilst I love working from home, sometimes it’s annoying as you can never switch off properly!!

Welcome to the Pretty Pintastic Party where all posts are pinned; features pinned by all!

Important: Once again this week, we had to have to pass over a few posts that we thought would make great features…. but when we checked to see if the bloggers had pinned the features, they hadn’t, so we had to choose different features (we check not only the repins, but also pins from that blogger’s feed).

Since repinning is the ONLY rule at our party, we will ONLY choose features from those who repin.

Thanks for your understanding, and please know that we really appreciate those of you who DO repin!
