You can’t have failed to notice that this weekend saw the second ever CyberMummy conference for UK Mummy bloggers, taking place in London. I’ve heard the word ‘overwhelmed’ a lot from other bloggers talking about the event and I can see why – 450 bloggers, sponsors, PRs and speakers in one space is a lot to take in, and there seemed to be a lot going on. If you didn’t go along and you’re wondering whether to invest in a ticket for 2012, I’d definitely say it’s worth … [Read more...]

As a school Mummy, I am an abject failure. This Monday was Harvest Festival. I remembered this just as I was holding open the school's front door for another School Mummy and her three kids. Each child was holding a cardboard box filled with Arborio rice and jars of organic pasta sauces. As I mentally kicked myself, I noticed the three kids’ boxes were decorated. With lovely sparkly wrapping paper and glitter and everything. That’s just offensive, frankly. Also? It meant I couldn’t … [Read more...]
Me: Mummy Blogger and Media Maven*
Posted on September 22, 2009 · 4 Comments
I’ve been asked to write a column over at the new family and lifestyle website Super Savvy Me – presumably because everything about me screams both ‘super’ and ‘savvy’. My first column, about Flea starting school is online now. The lovely Tara from Sticky Fingers is also blogging there – why not pop over and read her lovely column about Mummy bloggers? As I may have mentioned on Twitter, if I look a bit tipsy in the photo byline, it’s just a bit of a smudge on the lens. … [Read more...]

Posted on September 18, 2009 · 14 Comments
Part of my day job is writing web copy for companies big and small – so over the years, I’ve picked up a bit about search engine optimisation (SEO).

Seriously, SEO only gets more complicated than that if you’re posting the same sort of content as loads of other people, or … [Read more...]

Things I could have bought instead of school uniform
Posted on September 1, 2009 · 17 Comments
This Thursday, Flea will join the reception class at her school. Being an organised, professional sort of Mummy, obviously I chose today (Tuesday) to go and buy her school uniform. Fortunately, Flea attended the pre-school already, so she can re-use some kit from last year, but she needed some new kit, namely: One blazer Two pinafores (she has two but I need five since I can't deal with the pressure of mid-week laundry) Five jumpers (see above) Two ties (how dirty does a tie get? … [Read more...]
