I’ve had a bit of baby brain going on…wonder why? My first week of being a mum to two has been rather delightful actually. I spent the previous week tweeting and blogging about hospital stays and beginnings with our second which got me to thinking. We’re all parents and we all have a story to tell, don’t we? So for this week, we’d love to hear about your beginnings.
Personal Prompt: Share with us one of the following moments…learning you were pregnant for the first, second or eigth time; how you told your partner you were expecting; your birth story.
As the year is drawing to a close, how about a blogging opportunity to highlight your BEST work this year?
Blogging Prompt: What were your BEST posts this year? Hold your own BritMums Blogging Carnival to give your work the showcase it deserves. Whether they were the most commented on, most popular or just your own personal favourites, give them the pimp they deserve!
As usual, tackle one or both prompts, write your posts and publish them and then pop back over to the Linky so the rest of the blogosphere can find your brilliant work. Be sure to Tweet us when you’re ready as well. We always love to promote our bloggers.
Have a great week and happy, festive blogging!
