Good Reads

After a lovely holiday in the sunny Costa Del Silencio in Tenerife, I'm back to dive into the BritMums blogosphere to see what I missed while I was away. Do you know, I spent a whole SEVEN days without WiFi or reliable, accessible internet? And I survived? Shocking! It was a very good thing indeed, however. I highly recommend shutting down for a few days at a time. It's amazing what you can accomplish without the lure of the internet.

But I am back and connected and diving into the brilliance that is BritMums. You all have been writing some amazing posts and I wanted to highlight some of the good reads from last month now that we're all stuck into September and back-to-school fun. Ready, steady, go…

  • Bless, Little M at Mummy's Busy World has had A Really Scary Dream! How do you help your children deal with nightmares?
  • You simply must read this very touching and heartfelt tribute by Snaffles Mummy- You were the One. A beautiful post. Much love to you, Snaffles Mummy.
  • We all love a good birth story, right? Well Emma at A Matter of Choice shares her own Birth Story
  • Mum on the Brink found herself the recipient of some funny tweets and re-tweets with this post, OMG I'm Pregnant, from last month. We love these sorts of titles!
  • Jax at Making it Up (aka @liveotherwise) is Wondering when I get to bloom in her pregnancy. We're sure it will kick in any day now lovely!
  • We are simply mesmerised by the cheeky grin on Mummy Mishaps' adorable Burton. You can see What a Difference a Haircut Makes
  • Having just spent a day at Ragdale Hall, we were most pleased to see how much Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy's weekend went. (She's also had a blog make-over that you have to see! We love how the header images change! So cool!)
  • It seems that Mocha Beanie Mummy's son has sussed out what BLOGGING is all about in In Case you were wondering about Blogging. Spot on, son, spot on!
  • We're loving this post about how Sex Education and how it hasn't got much better from Not Just a Mummy. What were your sex ed experiences like?
  • Why I'm in Training for Nursery School by Bod for Tea is a great post on something we're all going through at the moment. We're particularly enjoying the Selective Hearing Skill.

Enjoy the lovely writing of some amazing BritMums! See you next week for more Good Reads!

Ooh, thank you for including me, that's really cheered me up (well, that and just having put stroppy toddler to bed and pouring a large vodka!)
