SEO for Bloggers So you spend hours writing your fabulous blog post, photographing the perfect image; you publish it and you sit waiting for the people to flock to your blog to read it. You wait, and wait and the brilliant post is seemingly left undiscovered, at least by the masses. Sound familiar? While you might think you blog for you, …
Attending your first blog conference can be a little nerve wracking. Especially if you are a relatively new blogger, and don’t know many people. Each year in June, BritMums Live takes over most parenting bloggers lives and their social media feeds too! Held over two days, it is the largest conference of its sort and so can seem a little intimidating for …
Although we are a week into the year I wanted to share my goals for 2015, both personal and blogging orientated. I think resolutions can sometimes be a waste of time, they are often forgotten about very quickly. I have chosen to work on things that in some cases may take most of the year to achieve, so for me goals make …
I love finding new blogs and spend quite some time perusing people’s sidebars to check out the blogs they love. There are many different types of blogs, that can evoke different emotions in the reader. You may find that you read a blog when you are in a certain mood, visit one for a dose of sentiment or one to get your …
December was a very busy month for this blog, so I thought it would be good to reflect on my favourite posts. I wrote quite a few blogging posts, the first one in December being Organise your Blogging. In which I gave an overview into how I work and the systems I use. Then, there was a change of pace as …
With 2014 now behind us, I thought it would be nice to look back on my top ten posts of 2014. Last year was an amazing year for my blog and I want to remember the posts you loved and my personal favourites too. So, I have taken my five posts with the highest hits and another five personal favourites. …
When I thought about writing this post I actually felt overwhelmed and tearful. Not in a negative way. I think that says a lot about the power of blogging. I also had no idea of where to start, as so much has happened in one year and I feel exceptionally grateful. The changes in my blog in one year have …
I have been thinking recently about what it is like to be the child of a blogger. It is not all fun events and new toys; Blogger children have to pull their weight too. So I have come up with a list of attributes that set a blogger’s child apart from ‘normal’ children. You know you’re a blogger’s child when…. …
I have recently been nominated for a ‘One Lovely Blog Award’ by the gorgeous Mrs H, Mama Blueberry from Melted Blueberries who said “Your lovely blog is what inspired me to start mine. You are also super helpful with tips and advice” and Nikki from Keeping Strong and Moving Forward. Thanks so much ladies, I am very grateful. The rules for this award are …
I love PicMonkey and I use it every day, in every blog post I write. I have been asked a few times how I have created a few of my pictures. So I thought I would share a few tricks with you all. 1. Spot colour on a black & white photo The first thing you have to do is make …
Last Saturday I joined with an army of other bloggers and headed to London for BlogFest. I love blogging get together’s, as blogging can sometimes feel like a solitary pursuit. So it is great to have an opportunity to see your blogging friends, to learn, swap ideas, have a good gossip with lots of laughs. I met up with various friends …
Blogger’s Child I have been thinking recently about what it is like to be the child of a blogger. It is not all fun events and new toys; Blogger children have to pull their weight too. I have come up with a list of attributes that set a blogger’s child apart from ‘normal’ children. You know you’re a blogger’s …

It is an amazing opportunity to meet other bloggers, network and learn from the fabulous free sessions; yes people BlogCamp is free! There was so much information to ingest and so much …
Wow! I think I might still be in shock. A few weeks ago, I was gobsmacked to find out that we had been nominated alongside four amazing bloggers for the Best Non-Dad Blog award. Having only been blogging just over a year, I genuinely thought that I had no chance of winning. On Sunday I had been practicing my …
I started this list after I had been blogging for just over a year. There are so many things I have enjoyed about writing my blog, but one of my favourite things was joining in with linky‘s. For non bloggers, Linkys are posts with the same theme, one person hosts and other bloggers link their posts to the hosts …
I started this blog to record our family memories. So our daughter could look back and see how much we loved her every day she was growing up. A modern day baby book. As I began writing down our memories, I started to realise that the process of writing is cathartic, like a therapy, it helps me in so many …
