  1. Catie: An imperfect mum

    I have always valued honesty too. I think this quote is spot on. For me it’s just about doing your best. My mum used to try and change who I was, tell me to keep my opinions to myself. I know she was trying to help as I lost some friends along the way because I was ‘too homest’ but to me those people werent real friends so in the end no great loss. You are lucky if you have a few really good friends who you can totally be yourself with, they are like gold. Thanks for linking up with Candid Cuddles. (Cohosting this week)

    • I agree, if I have people who can’t handle my true opinions and stop being friends with me because of it, they are people I probably won’t miss! Yes, we all need those friends where you can be who you are, no glossing over the ad bits, they are the best friends! Thanks for hosting πŸ™‚

    I do try to be the friend that I would like to have. My friends are so important to me and sometimes, I wonder how I would ever survive without them. I absolutely appreciate everything they do for me and if I ever get the chance to give them a fraction back, I jump at the chance. Thank you for this lovely reminder xx

  3. Friendship is an amazing gift but yes it definitely takes work. Loyalty is a big one & honesty too. I consider you to be a great friend now Debbie, even though we haven’t met, I’m very happy to have you in my circle of blogger buddies! Thank you for sharing with candid cuddles x

    • It’s the best, and that makes it worth the work. I feel exactly the same about you, I never would have believed it possible to be friends with someone I haven’t met, but blogging has made me realise it is very possible! Thanks you! Thanks for hosting πŸ™‚ x

  4. Mummy and the Mexicans

    This makes me think I’ve been terrible at keeping in touch with friends back home, I really need to make a better effort to keep hold of my friends. I miss them! Thanks for this thought! #CandidCuddles

  5. Love this! I absolutely do try to be someone that I would want to be friends with! I think this is so important, you can’t expect people to behave a certain way it you don’t do it yourself. Thanks for linking up to #HappyDaysLinky x

  6. I am always honest, I just don’t see a reason to be anything else. I’m also honest with strangers- I can remember a woman asking me in a changing room whether she suited a skirt. I was honest and said no the colour didn’t compliment her and she was so grateful that she hadn’t wasted money!

    Thank you for joining in #HappyDaysLinky x
