It’s Mums’ List time with the amazing Hannah over at Mums’ Days. Mums’ List allows us to share the highlights (personal and blogging) of our week and also the things that still need to be ticked off our Mums’ Lists!
REAL LIFE
- Last night I left Baby overnight (with her Daddy) for the first time ever.
- We need to find a fence for Baby’s garden. I have been trying to find cheap ways to fence, which is not easy! My friend suggested an electric fence (that she uses for the horses), maybe a little bit hardcore! #WillingToGiveItAWhirl….
- Having major body image issues #WishIWasSlim
BLOG & SOCIAL MEDIA
- My most popular new blog post this week has been Our Father’s Day story. Homemade presents and the Circus, what more could you want?!
- My Facebook advert results; So in the 7 days my page gained 352 new likes, of which 303 came as a direct result of the advert. All for £18!
- As you read this I will be at Britmums Live! Exciting!
INSPIRATION
- I have been collating a blog Pinterest board and desperately need time to read it!
- I am so looking forward to gaining lots of inspiration for all things blog and blog/family balance at BritMums Live.
Why not pop over and have a read of some other Mums’ lists.
If you enjoyed reading this post, why not

Great news RE the FB ad, oh how are views have changed in just a few months though, eh?! I’m off to go read your pinterest blog board – that is my all time favourite reason to use pinterest. Sad but true! xx

It was so hard and although I loved it, when I came in I held her and couldn’t stop crying x
What a great way to focus and recall the highlights of your week. It’s so easy to focus on the negative, and I’m sure this helps with the positive vibes
Author
It is great to write and keep track of everything x
Hope you enjoyed britmums live. I am still not convinced about the long term value of buying facebook likes, Will they intact long term with you
Author
We are not buying likes, it is just an advert that appears on the page. People choose to click on and like. Facebook hardly shares anything and so it is hard for your posts to get seen, even by those that like. By paying for an advert you can try to get in more people’s eye line and then it is their decision whether they want to read/like. I would not pay for likes x
Hope you had a good time at britmums! Be interesting to see if the Facebook thing brings in more views — I’m sure it will, but keep us I
Informed!

It was great thanks. x
I’m the same with Pinterest. I have a board full of loads of blogging tips but have I read them? Er, no!

Author
I need more time. I must be able to get a 30 hour day from somewhere ! xx
Hope you had a fab time at Britmums! Great list
Author
Thanks hun. It was really good x
I’ll be checking out your blog pinterest board! Hope you had a great time at Britmums xx
Author
There is some good stuff on there! x
That’s really interesting about the number of likes you got from your advert – I imagine they’d be quite engaged with you as well would they as they have chosen to like you based on your ad?
Author
Yes hun, it is good. It just makes you more visible so people can chose to like you. They can like you if they don’t know you’re there xx
Id love to be part of BritMumsLive, maybe next year!! 🙂 Looking forward to reading your post about it, I have it fave’d on Twitter and will give it a read soon!! 🙂
Fab results following your FB advert, I’m always tempted to give it a go!!

I would (re facebook) as it just means more people get to see your page. You should definitely come to BMs 2015 x
Not sure about the electric fence!! Britmums Live was fab but tiring – I’m still catching up on leads, twitter feeds etc plus I still feel that I missed lots of people too.

Yes I am still knackered! I haven’t even started doing my follow up stuff. Need more time x
