We’re here again showing the blogosphere how much we love our BritMums Roundup editors. BritMums is a community of bloggers who are so talented and generous. Our Roundup editors turn out monthly recommendations that are first-rate. You won’t want to miss out on a thing so be sure to follow the RSS feed for all of the Roundups so you don’t. Also, if you’d like to share a post that fits in with one of the roundup categories but wasn’t highlighted, remember to add it to the Linky at the bottom of every roundup. We also have a Twitter list for all of the Roundup Editors which you can subscribe to: “britmums-roundup-editors” is where you will find the Twitter stream for all of our editors. Now, time to shine the light…
Craft Roundup- Maggy Woodley, Red Ted Art:
The exceptionally creative and clever Maggy of Red Ted Art is responsible for providing us with monthly Craft Inspiration. I know all of us are grateful for Maggy’s recommendations and are thrilled to know that soon we will be seeing all of Maggy’s hard work on a book shelf near you as she’s secured a Book Publishing contract. Well done Maggy…we can say we “knew you when.” Be sure to check out Red Ted Art when you are in need of a craft or project idea and follow Maggy on Twitter @RedTedArt.

If you’ve got a post about style or fashion, make sure to let Beth know on her Twitter account (@BethGoodrham) and do follow Style Guile for great fashion advice. I really wish I looked as good as Beth in her pictures…I may have a new role model!

Special Needs Roundup- Hayley Goleniowska, Downs Side Up:
On the 3rd Saturday of every month, Hayley Goleniowska will be bringing you inspirational features from bloggers writing about special needs. Taking the reins from Alex Ozansoy, Hayley will bring the same amazing spirit that led to a standing ovation for her blogger keynote at BritMums live. It’s so wonderful to read about the positive (and sometimes not so positive) side of parenting a child with special needs. The achievements of the families and children are really amazing. Hayley writes about her life at Downs Side Up and you can also find her on Twitter (@downssideup).

Another new niche roundup on the blogging block is the Adoption and Fostering Roundup.

The importance of living a greener life and being eco-friendly is highlighted every fourth Tuesday by Rae who blogs at Little Green Blog.

Wow! I’m blown away by the amazing cavalcade of Roundup Editors. We are really lucky to have them steering us in the direction of blogging brilliance every month.
