I often hear bloggers talking about suffering from Blogger’s block; they have no clear ideas for topics and the pressure is building for them to write about something! I haven’t really suffered with blogger’s block, but there have been times when I am stuck a little for a specific angle within the theme I know I am going to write …
In my three years of blogging I have attended MANY blogging conferences. In fact, I LOVE a conference. They’re a wonderful way to learn and be inspired by other bloggers, but also a fab way to make friends or to strengthen existing bonds. It’s quite common for bloggers to be sponsored to attend the larger, more expensive conferences and I have always …

Blogging can often be a case of feast or famine. Sometimes you’re struggling for content inspiration, while other times you have so many ideas swirling around your head that moving forward with any of them is difficult. I usually fall into the latter group; I find it hard to switch off, so I constantly have ideas popping into my head all …
Last Friday, I was one of the lucky bloggers to have an invitation to the MAD Blog Awards at the Royal Garden Hotel.

Does the thought of a room full people people fill you with dread?

Have you heard the saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child’? Well, I think the same theory can apply to our blogs. So many amazing aspects of my own blogging are actually things that I can attribute to the fact that I am working with others. As bloggers, the majority of our working time can be quite solitary. …

About a week ago I had a Twitter milestone, I passed 25k followers. Twitter has always been my biggest referrer of traffic and it’s definitely the network that I found the easiest to grow. Twitter was the first social media account I set up when I started my blog, so it has been going for around four years now. Twitter can …
O.k, so I know most of the kids have now gone back to school and so we should have more time to spend on work now.

One of my favourite quotes is Comparison is the thief of joy So you might now be wondering about the title of this post….. is it a typo? Did she mean to say shouldn’t compare? Nope, stick with me. I know most people say usually talk about comparison in a negative way, myself included most of the time. However, I …
I was away last week at a wonderful event with a lovely group of bloggers.
