Tasty!
“I remember a couple of years ago Maison Cupcake’s absolute dedication to getting macarons just right, i.e. with the elusive ‘feet’. She continues to impress with her baking and photographs the results beautifully.”
Sarah Trivuncic

Change!
“The contents are well focussed and relevant. I see this blog being actually a useful communication tool for parents who face such difficult circumstances.”
Tania Tirraoro
@TaniaLT, @SpcialNdsJungle
Inspire!
“I loved reading this blog and it proved, if proof is needed, the key to a brilliant blog can be as simple as engaging, heartfelt and funny updates. Packed with personality, it is laugh-out-loud funny, which combined with great navigation and an enticing design, makes it a real winner.”
Lisa Pearson
@MummyWhisperer
Lit!
“What I loved about Hello it’s Gemma is the breezy honesty of the blog, it’s personal and engaging but makes the reader feel that she is actually writing about their life, or experiences that are universal and thereby as much about them, rather than simply about herself. I think she uses the medium very well to let the reader wander between posts and different types of media and doesn’t make it too text heavy. And most importantly makes you want to sign up and come back for more.”
Gemma

Video!
“She is very natural to the camera and she has quickly developed a nice style that is her own and consistently posts well framed and creative videos. She has a good sense of editing as well.”
Penny Alexander
@Aresidence
Go!
“What I really liked about this blog was the balance struck when writing about her kids and herself. She writes in an intelligent way, rather than slavishly reporting the foibles and funny remarks of her offspring.Take the most recent post on Whistler’s mother: she talks art but draws her son in and works the angle of how art can work with kids. Other travel blogs are equally well written, but she doesn’t shout or show off, and each post has something too say. Really enjoyed the post about music and guitars – and so, clearly, did the readers. It really struck a chord…. boom boom!”

Snap!

Dad!
“Mutterings of a Fool — If awards could be presented for the title of a blog – then this would be right up there with the best of them. In all seriousness though, the most endearing quality of Benjamin Tipping’s blog is, as he states, “This blog is a commentary on life as I see it, the ups and downs of raising a family…”. It was a pleasure to read with honest accounts of life from a dad’s point of view. Benjamin’s fathering experiences may differ from yours but I can guarantee one or two of his posts will relate to every dad out there!”

@TheFoolTweets
Style!
“This is most definitely a style blog written by a fashionable woman who happens to be a mother. The display ads and social networking buttons work nicely in the layout, the content is updated often and it is an overall great read.”
Amanda
@_OnlineStylist
Laugh!
“Fabulous writing, clean and simple lay out, no visual gags, but like the ‘Vlog’ as has great potential! Takes that humorous voice to the next stage, which I think is brave too.”
Claire Smith
@MinistryOfMum
Outstanding!
“I LOVE this blog. Ben is an uber talented blogger who will appeal as much to men as women. I also like his use of illustrations, and photographs, and now want to read his books! Ben’s writing made me realise I need to do more kegels!! VERY funny. He’s now got a new follower! (two actually – I instantly sent a link to my man 😉 ”
