BritMumsBlogHop Can you believe that May is nearly gone? Spring is sprung and Summer is sitting on our doorstep! We’re all looking forward to our last Spring Bank Holiday, starting to countdown to the end of school and planning our summer holidays. But wait! Before you get carried away with the boys of summer, let’s take this opportunity to have a final Spring BritMums Blog Hop!
Once again, more lovely insight behind the bloggers who write the blogs we love. This week we’re featuring Heather from SAHM Loving It. 1. What is your Blog Name/Url? (Twitter …
BritMumsBOW Choosing the Blogger of the Week is never an easy task. The parent blogosphere is chock-a-block with talented writers, photographers, videographers and stories about poo (well, we are parents). Each week I look for someone who stands out a bit from the crowd; maybe someone who has written a post that has rippled around the blogosphere; maybe someone who’s picture is so gorgeous, everyone is talking about it; maybe someone who has just knocked our socks off with an amazing new video.
The Easter Holidays, School Half-Term, Royal Wedding and a myriad of Bank Holidays have put us off our Blogger of the Week regular schedule. For that, we apologise. We’re back on track honouring brilliance in blogging every week and pointing you in the best direction to follow new and exciting blogs and their authors.
This week we bring to your attention, the blog of a very special Mummy Blogger who was a Super Mummy last week. What made her such a Super Mummy? Well, bringing forth her latest gorgeous creation a mere two hours after arriving in hospital, accompanied by only gas-and-air makes her pretty much a Super Mummy in anyone’s book.
We love to learn more about our BritMums bloggers through our recurring “Why do you blog?” feature. It’s fascinating to see how a blog is “born” and to learn more about individual motivations and goals. We hope that you will find some inspiration in the following post from Hayley Glenister of Simply Hayley.
At BritMums we have a wealth of experience in our blogging community. As blogging continues to rise in popularity, mainstream media is taking notice and seeking out the opinion, expertise and talent of bloggers for articles and radio/television shows. Some of our brilliant bloggers have been making regular radio appearances as well as being sought after by television shows like “The Vanessa Show”. Emily Carlisle share her expertise in dealing with this more common occurrence…media opportunities for bloggers.
So you’ve been blogging for a while and you’re loving it! Your blog is looking exactly how you want it (after many a midnight hour spent tinkering!) and your traffic is on the up and up. So what next? Successful bloggers have gone on to do everything from publishing a book to building a business, turned freelance and built niche websites.

Fetes are important not only for the fun they provide but for the essential funds they raise for the schools themselves. But what makes a good fete? What’s the best way to organise a tombola? How do you get people involved?
It’s the event that has got the nation, if not the world, talking. You may be a royalist; you may be anti-royal; what you can’t argue is that the impending nuptials of Wills and Kate is the event of 2011. Well, at least the event of April 2011! While some are making a mass exodus out of London, others are planning street parties or maybe even hauling their families, lock, stock and barrel into London to experience a once-in-a-lifetime event.
