Meet BritMums fabulous Round up editors

One of the greatest regular features on the BritMums blog has to be the Round-ups which are compiled monthly by our wonderful contributors.

These are the bloggers who keep a beady eye on what’s happening in the blogosphere and share with us the crème de la crème, after all not all of us have time to read every single blog post that gets published right?

We want to showcase our editors partly to thank them for their continued efforts and also so you know who to go to with your posts if you’d like to submit them for a particular round-up. They are always on the lookout and interested to find new blogs to read

Teens and Tweens – Yes our families also have teens and tweens in them and don’t we know it! There’s nothing nicer than being able to share the ups and downs of this particular family member who can be so lovable and yet again so damned difficult to bring up at times. Sarah Wood from Mum of Three World or MO3W collects all the ruffled feathers and the proud parent notes for us every month.

Dads – Spencer is our resident Dad editor he does the job of pulling together a round-up focusing on the dad bloggers out there who have their point of view, in fact reading their point of view often can open your eyes up to ‘The Other Side’ always a great read and if you want more then nip over to A Dad Called Spen
