BritMums Bloggers of the Week- Our roundup editors, part 1

The BritMums Blog is a site chok-a-block of talent and amazing bloggers. We’ve been fortunate to have so many generous and creative bloggers working with us to bring the blogging community the latest and greatest and pointing our audience in new directions. In order to highlight the growing niches in the BritMums community we have 22 different bloggers contributing monthly roundups in their “specialist subjects”. Those roundup editors give valuable time to highlight other great posts and new bloggers that we all should be aware of. We, at BritMums, would like to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to ever single one of our roundup editors for their dedication and attention to detail. We really appreciate everything our roundup editors do and think it’s important that YOU know who they are and where to find them in their usual hangouts! We’ll be highlighting half of our roundup editors this week and half next week so grab a cuppa and get to know our BritMums roundup editors!

Travel Editor: Trish Burgess, Mums Gone To

In addition to writing our monthly Travel Roundup the first Monday of the month, Trish is our “reigning” BiB Go! Award winner. What a great treat to have Trish pointing out all of the wonderful travel posts! We only wish we could check out every one ourselves as well. You can find Trish at Mums Gone To and on Twitter (@mumsgoneto).

Newbies Editor: Helen Wills, Actually Mummy

Having taken over the Newbies highlight from Mammasaurus, Helen does a magnificent job at making “newbie” bloggers feel welcome and showing the rest of us “vintage” bloggers, who is up and coming in the blogosphere. This really helps to build an inclusive community and helps newer bloggers find their feet. Our Newbie Roundups post on the first Tuesday of the month- Newbie Tuesday! You can find Helen at Actually Mummy and on Twitter (@actuallymummy).

Video Editor: Ruth Arnold, Geek Mummy

Ruth Arnold has been on the cutting edge of innovative blogging for some time now and has been a great resource to all of us who are interested in incorporating video to our blogging. Don’t miss Ruth’s Video roundup the first Thursday of every month for great bloggers who are getting their faces and VOICES out there. Ruth blogs at Geek Mummy and can be found on Twitter (@R2UK)

Film Editor: Vicki Psarias, Honest Mum

Vicki Psarias is the very talented and award winning film writer and director who gives us monthly recommendations for the MUST SEE and MUST NOT SEE Films and DVDs. Vicki was also running around admirably with her rather lovely other half/assistant during BritMums Live! documenting all of the amazing goings-on throughout the weekend. You can peruse Vicki’s recommendations the first Friday of most months. Please visit Vicki at Honest Mum and on Twitter (@HonestMummy or @VickiFilm).

Positively Inspirational Editor: Michelle Pannell, Mummy from the Heart

It’s only fitting that the creator of Reasons to be Cheerful is responsible for pointing us in the direction of Positively Inspirational bloggers. Michelle Pannell blogs at Mummy from the Heart and is one of the most positive people in our blogging community. Tune in on the first Saturday of every month for more wonderful inspiration from Michelle. We could all use a bit more positivity right? Michelle can be found at Mummy from the Heart and on Twitter (@michelletwinmum).

Dads Editor: Andy Grant, Dad’s Cooking Tonight

Andy Grant has taken over the monthly roundup of Dad Blogger posts and does so admirably. It’s great to highlight the brilliant Dads who are such an important part of the blogging community. Andy blogs at Dad’s Cooking Tonight and keeps us all inspired with his wonderful recipes and enthusiasm for cooking. We’re wondering if Andy is available for deliveries? Pop over to Andy’s blog, Dad’s Cooking Tonight and follow him on Twitter (@dadcooking2nite).

Food Editor: Emma Raphael, A Bavarian Sojurn

New on the editor block, Emma Raphael took over the Food roundup from Mari a few months back and never fails to have us drooling on our keyboards every second Tuesday of the month.

Education Editor: Luci Hindmarsh, Mother.Wife.Me

Politics Editor: Ruth Dawkins, Dorkymum

On the second Thursday of the month, pop in to learn about what’s going on in politics for our bloggers. Ruth does a wonderful job of turning out a balanced and unbiased selection of posts from our bloggers who have so many valuable experiences to share. Ruth writes about politics and so much more on her own blog, Dorkymum, and can be found regularly on Twitter (@dorkymum) where she amuses everyone with her insightful tweeting!

Expat Editor: Michelle Garrett, The American Resident

Knowing a thing or two about being an Expat makes Michelle Garrett the perfect Expat Roundup editor. Highlighting expats far and near is a wonderful way for our local blogging community to get a slightly different perspective on the world around us. Michelle’s personal blog is The American Resident and you can chat with her about all things expat (and other) on Twitter (@Michelloui).

Charity Editor: Kate Davis-Holmes, Kate on Thin Ice

The BritMums Charity Champion is Kate Davis-Holmes who works tirelessly to promote charities and make bloggers aware of charitable campaigns and opportunities. Thanks to Kate, BritMums has taken the Blogging4Good appeal to the next level. If you want to get involved in charity campaigns and/or read more about bloggers who are blogging it forward, Kate is your editor. Follow Kate’s adventures at Kate on Thin Ice and on Twitter (@kateonthinice).

Of course, coordinating everyone is the delightful, talented, patient and generous Marianne Whooley from Mari’s World (@Maris_World) without whom, we’d be bereft of organisation and order on the BritMums blog. Thank you Mari for your hard work and dedication to BritMums and the Editors as well.

There we have it! HALF of the BritMums Roundup Editors team. We’ll be bringing you the 2nd half of the team (no less important by any means) next Friday so pop back then to learn more about the people behind BritMums. Thank you for supporting all of the individuals who contribute to the BritMums Blog.

Have a wonderful OLYMPIC weekend and Happy Blogging!
