Decluttering feed readers and some reading for the weekend

I don't think I mentioned but early in February (after the pile-up of posts in my Google Reader from the holiday) I decided to declutter my subscriptions.

I started with 109 and ended up with 85. Isn't that fantastic? I can't even remember which ones I unsubscribed from which is as it should be.

And I'm back up to 94 now - I just checked. So I want to get that figure down to 80 or thereabouts again.

More in another post on how I find blogs because it's interesting (at least to me) 

How many subscriptions do you have in your Google Reader?

I'm stretching myself with some night photos - view from rooftop of Bedford Centre

I subscribe to Simple Mom and she does a linky every Sunday. I must tell you, I know before I even sit down with my cup of tea that I'll want to click on each and every one of those 5 - 6 links.

I like to think my links are also always click-worthy :) :)

1. This cake makes me so very happy. Seriously, I smiled SO BIG.
2. When our personal goals change and she also wrote an excellent Project Life post for the non-crafty :)
3. I love the mindset part of this post more than the how-tos
4. Susannah Conway on the 3 layers of self-care. Oh how I loved this post.
5. I wrote two great posts (well, I loved them!)on the organising blog. How I find time to do things when the babies are awake and a review of what successful people do on the weekends.
6. and this post is why I realised I need to declutter more blogs because I'm spending too much time on energy type 3 and 4

Then, obviously I'm a full-time working mother and I've recently stumbled upon a whole stack of blogs by very clever working mothers. Would some of you be interested in me linking to some of those posts? I am FASCINATED by how other people do the work/ life balance thing plus all the yahoo stuff going on around the internet. It sure beats the stuff going on in my country :)

Which was your favourite link?

18 books for sale... from my bookshelf

1. I've read 10 of the 18 books; the others are brand new.
2. The prices are on the books themselves or just below them in the photos.
3. South Africans, R25 postage up to 1 kg or R45 for 2 kg, with tracking.

I'm happy to weigh them first to let you know what you're in for.

Email me on marcia AT the123blog.com if you want them.

Happy shopping!

(this is batch 1)

PS I'll throw in a free novel (Paige Nick's "a million miles from normal") if you want it and there's enough weight left in your parcel.
