Kids and Chaos is asking us this week what our strategies are for the sack of sugar that enters the household in the form of Halloween treats. Eat in one go? Eke out over the weeks? Or let the kids have some… It gave me the inspiration for this month’s theme: tricks and treats. [...]

Newbie Tuesday Round-up: Inspiring…
My theme this month is inspiring. From new bloggers inspiring others to cope, to do better, to those who can uplift our spirits with a beautiful photo, as well as new blogs to inspire us to create better blogs… She’s not a new blogger, but Nickie, from Typecast, has new blog Geekalicious which brings together [...]
Newbie Tuesday Round-up: New beginnings
I’m going to be predictable and start by telling you that I’ve just dropped my children off at school for their first day of the new school year. Although they are not new starters, they still have new beginnings – a new teacher, a new playground, a new school in GG’s case, and so [...]
Newbie Tuesday Round-up: Count your blessings
I don’t know about you, but the minute parenthood kicked in I became a different person. That girl who wandered home down dark backstreets at 4am, in whatever tiny skirt was in fashion at the time, ceased to exist overnight. The one who backpacked around the world, sleeping with cockroaches and camping by crocodile hangouts? [...]
Newbie Tuesday Round-up: School
School is nearly over for the year. The summer holidays are almost upon us (more on that another time). And yet, for many parents school is at the forefront of their minds. Children everywhere are visiting schools for the first time this month as they prepare for their induction into the world of formal education. [...]
Newbie Tuesday Round-up: A woman’s work
Well it’s been a crazy weekend, as we have all braved the great British Summer weather to insist on having some fun in the name of a Royal Jubilee Bank Holiday! Nothing defeats us, does it? I have read so many posts this month from brilliant parents going through all sorts of hell and stress, [...]
Newbie Tuesday: The Half Term fail!
Last night, around 9pm I had a bit of a panic. It is half term, and I had used the free days to extend my weekend with the grandparents, so when I returned home late, it felt like a Sunday. Actually Daddy was remarkably relaxed too, having missed our company over the weekend, so a [...]
Newbie Tuesday: Linky Posts
I honestly thought I knew all the linky posts out there. I’ve done the Gallery, I dip in and out of Listography, and I’ve ranted a few times on Dear So and So. Heck, I even participate in several linkys run by newer bloggers – there are great ideas surfacing all the time! So I [...]
Newbie Tuesday: How much is too much?
As a parent blogger, I see lots of like-minded writers talking through their blogs about their children. A child is what defines a parent blog, and it fascinates me to see the huge variation in styles, not only of writing, but of approach to writing about children. Over on the discussion forum this week I [...]
Newbie Tuesday: New Year, new names, new resolutions!
Well here we are, 2012! It only seems a few days ago that it was 2011…um yes well, moving swiftly on… Soon the daffodils will be poking through the ground and with a fresh new year comes a fresh new enthusiasm to many bloggers. It’s a little nudge to try something new, give your blog a new ‘look’ and think [...]
