There was no debate about what this month’s topic should be. With the BiB awards this Friday, it was only right to showcase the 6 finalists in the Style category. It’s a great achievement, given the original long list of nominations and the impressive short list, so well done to all the finalists. First up, [...]

Craft Round-up: sun weaving and sun catchers
Soooo, the summer months are almost among us (not that you would believe it, not very warm and sunny HERE!!!!), so we thought it would be a great opportunity to share some Summer Crafty ideas? No? I am sure you will have PLENTY of time to get crafty, especially if we end up with a [...]
Songs that change the world: What are yours?
I can vividly remember the first time I heard The Ballad of Lucy Jordan. This song/story of a suburban housewife was electrifying and its feminist message was part of a transformation at university from girl with vague ideas about gender politics to full-fledged feminist and politically engaged adult. That’s the power of protest songs: Sometimes [...]
Good Reads June
The countdown is on: less than a week until the event of the year, BritMums Live. I, of course, will be there. So if you are too, stop by and say hello. You won’t have trouble finding me: I’m very loud and I have really nice pink shoes. Plus if I get the chance I [...]
Special Needs Round-up: Meet the BritMums finalists
I simply cannot believe that almost a year has passed since I excitedly swapped my wellies for more metropolitan attire and heading to London for Britmums Live, my very first blogging conference. I had been blogging my little heart out for about 6 months back then and was astonished and dumbfounded that my newbie, novice [...]
Working Parents Round-up: Butterflies and bigging up!
Blimey – we are back again – it never ceases to amaze me how quickly this comes back around….it still only feels like last week that I was bemoaning Nick Clegg for not giving us alternatives to the childcare conundrum. And here we are again. Worrying has been the theme of this month; from my daughter, from me, [...]
Top tips for an awesome Instagram feed
Have you ever looked at some popular Instagramers — those with thousands of followers and almost-impossible-to-achieve pictures on their stream — and left wondering how they develop their amazing style and images. On a recent Instagram walk in Cadaquès with just such an Instagramer I discovered their secret: apps. Julio Estrela (@JulioEstrela) has more than [...]

Politics Round-up: Notable women
An important date was remembered last week, Keynko wrote her post on the 100th anniversary of the death of Emily Wilding Davison. It is less than a hundred years since woman got the vote, and we owe it to Emily and her suffragette colleagues to ensure we make use of it. Perhaps she is a fine [...]
Education Round-up: Summer uniform & starting reception
Here we are then, my first education round up and what an education it’s been for me! There are so many wonderful posts out there, how on earth I am supposed to choose only a handful? So if I haven’t included you , I’m sorry there just wasn’t enough space for them all. But please [...]
June Foodie Round-up: Outdoor food
Somebody somewhere decided that next week (from the 17th to the 23rd June to be precise) will be National Picnic week in the UK. Of course, because it has now been proclaimed as such, it will mean that sods law will dictate that it will most probably rain. But being British and all, we are used [...]
Dads Round-Up: An awesomeness of dad bloggers
Got a few little facts for you this morning surrounding collective nouns. I like magpies, funny little things they are, and so, when you see a few of them together they’re called, among other things for there are lots of collective nouns for magpies, a tittering of magpies. Good eh? You can also have a [...]
Teen and Tween Round-up: Boundaries and meltdowns
Summer might finally be here, but it’s no fun for some of our teens and tweens. May and June is exam time. There’s SATs and the dreaded secondary transfer for our year 6s, something I remember only too well from last year (I’m so glad it’s another two years before I have to go through [...]
Expat Round-up: Picking up something from everywhere
As many of you know, over on The American Resident I write about the long term expat lifestyle, making an almost permanent home in another country (the ‘almost’ is probably more in my head than reality as it would be difficult to accept I have moved permanently). This means I’m one of those expats who [...]
You’ve written the book – what next?
So you have written a book, got a publisher and even finished all those fiddly bits like index and permissions. Well done. What happens next? Biographer Clare Mulley looks at what happens when it is time to let go of your book. Clare Mulley will be discussing ‘Feminism: Reclaim or Rebrand’ at BritMums Live! on [...]

Video Round Up: Where do you want to go?
I was chatting to Mari, Britmums editor about how Britmums members are using video. It struck me that while we may not vlog as loudly and to camera, as dedicated YouTubers do, but, as a community, we do make a lot of use of video. More and more I am seeing videos embedded within posts, [...]
