We’re sorry for that but so many of you are still following the daily theme challenges which makes us really happy. We think we’ve got some [...]

If you weren’t able to come along please do check out the Google + hangouts I’ve posted this week, they were held after the workshops [...]
Twitter Terriers, Facebook Furies and Blog Bummers
I’m just back from Britmums Live, still buzzing from the noise, people and all the stuff I learnt!

Good Reads: Goodbyes, nicknames & carrier bags

Brit Mums Live Google + hangouts: Crossing the Chasm

Green Round-up: Ready to (up) cycle?
Welcome to the June edition of the Britmum’s Green Roundup. Are you all Jubileed out? Did you buy loads of food that you never ate? Did you find it impossible to resist the plastic flags, banners and tablecloths that are now languishing in the landfill somewhere? Did you buy some hideous piece of red, white [...]
