Wow, what a week/weekend! I went from being worried that no one would link up (first time linky nerves) to have 21 people link up to #happyquacks Very exciting stuff!

This week I’ve linked up my post about the person who makes me the happiest, my son! Although I’m the mama, he teaches me so much and never ceases to amaze me with his one liners!

My favourite posts from last week were:

1. 30 things that make me happy by Absolutely Prabulous. She’s such a witty blogger, I love reading her posts and this one in particular really resonated with me.

2. I wouldn’t love you sooner by Slacker Mommy. I especially liked this post because I look at my own life and wonder how/why I got to where I am now and I often have such moments of clarity (which are great). It was lovely reading a post by someone who has reached that moment and is thankful for the way things turned out.

3. To my daughter on Graduation Day by Flustered mom. I often look at S (who is only 3) and worry about the day he goes off to university and all the pieces of advice I’d like to give him. I really enjoyed this post and my favourite quote was:

“Here’s to the crazy ones.  The misfits.  The rebels.  The troublemakers.  The round pegs in the square holes.  The ones who see things differently.  They’re not fond of rules.  And they have no respect for the status quo.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.  About the only thing you can’t do it ignore them.  Because they change things.  They push the human race forward.  And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.  Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”  – Apple, Inc. 

So without further ado…

I host this linky with Rod over at Moderndadpages. This linky is open to all and every post you’ve ever written about anything that makes you happy. It could be your kids, your spouse, your family, your holiday, whatever it is that makes you happy.

Each week I’ll pick 3 of my favourite posts and they’ll get a little shout out in the following week’s link up post.

I don’t want to set any hard and fast rules BUT linky’s only work if you share the love so please comment on at least one of our posts and maybe 2-3 others that have linked up using the hashtag #happyquacks. Put the badge on the bottom of your post and lastly, if you tweet us your URL (using the hashtag #happyquacks), we’ll happily retweet all your posts. (@mamaduckquacks and @moderndadpages)

It would also make us happy if you followed us on Twitter and Facebook.

#happyquacks will go live on a Wedesday evening (6pm GMT) until Sunday evening (6pm GMT).

Looking forward to reading all your posts!
