It’s Mums’ List time with the fabulous 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
- We have been enjoying the beautiful weather, getting out and about whenever possible.
- I have been painting – when will it end! This time it was Baby’s picket fence for her garden. #SoExcited!
- Baby started Toddler swim class.
- We caught up with friends that we haven’t seen for a while, which was lush!
- Baby rode a pony for the first time. #WannaBePonyClubMum!
BLOG & SOCIAL MEDIA
- I am now 220 in the TOTS100 blog rankings and this makes me very happy! (For anyone who doesn’t know they are out of about 10,000 blogs).
- My most popular new blog post this week has been this one about our trip to the beach.
- New blog discovery; Natalie’s lovely blog babyandhome. This blog is such a lovely read and I find myself agreeing with so much of what she writes.
- I am so pleased to finally have a wireless printer thanks to VikingDirect. I can now easily print all of Baby’s pictures!
- I have discovered a tweet scheduler that has CHANGED MY LIFE! It saves me about an hour a day. I usually use Twuffer, which is great as it is free, BUT you have to input each tweet, changing the time for each. So it can be quite time consuming. I found Social Oomph, which is JUST what I was looking for. You can enter a tweet and set it to tweet out at whatever frequency you want, for as many times as you want, indefinitely if you like! I can’t tell you how happy this has made me.
- I have started to get businesses on board for my 1st year Blogaversary month of giveaways, which is next month.
- We have been invited to a blogger event at CBeebies land. Baby will be so excited to see ITNG!
INSPIRATION
- I have been inspired by a conversation on IG about IG giveaways. So I think I might run one. If you fancy following me, I am here. #Simples
- I need creative ways to work with my blogging friends.
- I also need to put together Baby’s toddler room, as her nursery is always a gazilion degrees! She will also want more space as she gets older. This does mean more painting!
Why not pop over and have a read of some other Mums’ lists.

Thanks hun. I am very pleased 🙂 x
Great to keep a list like this – and has it nearly been a year already ? It’s flown by!
Author
Yes on 15th Aug. But I only started being proactive, self hosted etc at Christmas x
I love the idea of a list like this – it’s great for recording those little memories. Thanks for the tip about social oomph too x x

Congrats on the ranking! Love the sound of the tweet scheduler. I use Hootsuite but you do have to imput each and every tweet. I love chatting and interacting on all social media, esp twitter and instagram. I spend more time doing that that writing actual blog posts haha!
Author
Thanks so much hun. It is really good if you want it to repeat at intervals you have to eventually upgrade to Twitter unlimited and it is 3 dollars a week. x
Can’t wait to hear about CBeebies land, we really want to go!
Author
It should be a fun day out x
I’ll certainly be looking into Social Oomph for tweets. Thanks for the tip!
Author
My pleasure! x

Sounds like there is a lot to be happy about, which is great. Always nice to be able to look back on all the positives
Author
I let small negative things bring me down, so this is great for me x
Wow, you’re sooo busy – it’s all great!! and the TOTs score is AWESOME 🙂 xxx
CBeebies land? I didn’t even know there was one! We went to a Frozen themed kids event at a local ‘posh’ pub this weekend – Gabby has never been happier but Olaf (that snowman) absolutely terrified Reuben!
Enjoy the rest of your painting – you should get some chalkboard paint too 😉 xxx
Author
I probably should, shouldn’t I! 😉 I HATE painting so much and it seems never ending in this house.
CBeebies and is at Alton Towers.

Well done on your new ranking. This is a great position.
Author
Thank you very much. It means a lot to me x
I would love a separate playroom for my kids, somewhere I can shut the door and ignore the carnage lol
Author
Me too and we only have one small person, BUT she creates A LOT of carnage! 🙂 x
Great list again! Well done on moving up in tots100 too! x
