At iVillage we’re passionate about supporting Australian bloggers. That’s why we’ve created iBlog Friday.
It's a chance for bloggers to introduce their favourite post of the week to iVillage readers and for our community to read what Aussie writers are up to.
Here are the bloggers who have sent their submissions this week. Happy reading and have a great weekend.
Naomi Cotterill of (Not) Just A Mummy talks about her attempt to reconnect to the concepts of thankfulness and gratitude amidst the whirlwind of marriage and motherhood.

Somewhere between marking-up other writers’ creative works, and the million small and large things three children between the ages of nine and almost-two require, I attempt to claw back some time for my own writing.
