BritMums Video Blog Challenge: Who would you roast?
Halloween will be a thing of the past after Monday but we have one more exciting seasonal event to come…Bonfire Night (aka Guy Fawkes Day). Many of us will be bundling up our children and heading out to local Bonfire Night celebrations, drinking mulled wine and enjoying fireworks…bizarrely, in honour of a rebel who tried [...]
BritMums Blog Prompts- Defining Moments
The end of the month. The clocks have turned back an hour thus giving us more time to… sleep? dream? iron? stress? blog? We definitely hope that you won’t be using your “extra” hour to iron (we know not what that is in our house!). Perhaps you’d like to use your extra hour to contemplate, [...]
Guest post: We made an app for busy mums!
I’ve had a lot of exciting opportunities through my blog in the last year or so, and one of the most exciting, that came pretty much out of the blue, was the opportunity to be involved with Three UK and their On the Go Mums campaign. This was a great summer campaign that started with [...]
BritMums Blogger of the Week
Have you survived Half Term? Is your sanity intact? Have you had a wonderful time with the kids? Or will you be VERY HAPPY to coax the children back into their school uniforms next week and accompany them on the school run? No matter what your week has been like, we hope it’s at least [...]
One week, one caravan and a family of four
Caravanning is becoming an increasingly popular way to holiday with the kids. On our holiday this summer, we combined caravanning with exploring a region of France we had never previously visited. It wasn’t the most relaxing holiday, but perhaps that’s inevitable when you have two active and enthusiastic kids. Ours are aged nine and six [...]

Newbie Tuesday
Brr! It’s a bit chilly outside isn’t it? Time to pull up your woolly socks, pop on your baggiest jumper and boil the kettle as its Newbie Tuesday and it commands a steaming hot cuppa and a biccy or four. This week has seen an influx of new bloggers this week which makes for some [...]
BritMums Autumn BlogHop
The autumn leaves are falling, the nights are getting darker and the layering of clothes is in full swing. While we’re feeling a bit chilly and getting stuck into our comfort foods and wooly jumpers, this seems like the perfect time to get a bit of blogging warmth with a good old fashioned BlogHop. What’s [...]
Guest post: Cutting and sticking isn’t just for kids
Alice Langley was a further education teacher before taking voluntary redundancy to raise her daughter (and number two, due very soon). Writing her An Essex Wife blog as a hobby, Alice soon realised writing was where she belonged. Here, she discusses why the ‘make do and mend’ mantra means arts and craft time is no [...]
BritMums Video Blogging Challenge
Who’s ready for a bit of Video Blogging this week? We’re loving the fact that we’ve had a few “newbie” video bloggers throwing caution to the wind and giving video blogging a go. It’s not so very scary after all! On the NEW and IMPROVED BritMums network, it’s really easy to upload your videos to [...]
BritMums Blogging Prompts: Hopes and Dreams
I hate to admit it but I’ve been watching the X-Factor USA. God help me! It’s a bit cringe-worthy, not because of the talent or ability of the contestants, but because of their sob stories as to why they are attempting to go through to the “live shows” of X-Factor. Most of the contestants seem [...]
BritMums at the Editorial Intelligence Comment Awards
One of our goals at BritMums – in addition to helping bloggers learn about SEO and blog platforms and what-not – is to promote excellence in writing. It’s the cornerstone of every good blog. That’s why I was so excited to be a judge for the #eicommentawards run by Editorial Intelligence. The judging process was [...]

Before we jump into the Blogger of the Week announcement, we’d like [...]
The BritMums Review: The Help movie
Jackson, Mississippi, looks gorgeous in The Help: stately Southern mansions sit amid Delta farmland, pecan trees shade mid-century ranch houses, and the white ladies (because they are definitely “ladies”) go about the business of playing cards and ruthlessly enforcing the status quo while wearing the most sensational New Look styles – all cinched waists and [...]
