Introduction

These battle-tested parents combine the best of both worlds: the experience and wisdom required to be a parent, as well as the grit and determination to push forward when you thought you’d reached your patience limit three temper tantrums ago. Put simply, these parents practically change diapers in their sleep. (For some, we mean this quite literally.)

Modern Parents, Messy Kids

modernparentsmessykids.com

When I learned to drive a car, my learners permit only allowed me to drive with a parent. By the time I got my full license, I had a vague idea of how to handle things on my own. I think this is how I need to approach social media with my kid—first right beside him, but then slowly giving him more control as he matures. I can’t avoid it any more than I can avoid teaching him how to drive.

#2

Tech Savvy Mama

techsavvymama.com

The newest YouTube Kids update features improvements that we parents have been clamoring for but regardless of what automated tools we put in place to safeguard what our kids are watching, it remains important to talk to your kids about the content they’re watching, favorite creators, and more. Use what they’re watching to create conversation and connections.

JakiJellz

I’m a thirtysomething, Mum to one five year old (known here on this blog as Little Man!) and Wife to one Husband. We live, not far from the historic Stratford Upon Avon, but also on the border of the Cotswolds. Aside from being a Mumma, Wife and Blogger, I work for a Family Law Firm, managing their Social Media. A role which I love. I’m a big believer that being a Mum doesn’t mean you should give up being yourself, hence my tagline – Being Mum, Being Me. I try to encourage this as much as possible on this blog, so along with the daily musings of life as a Mum, you will find pieces that are just for you, as a person – not just you, the Mum! I don’t sugarcoat the Motherhood parts either, it’s all here, warts and all!

Taking the challenge forced me to focus on my thoughts which literally changed my life! I realized that we are in charge of what we think and what we think about affects how we feel. After that I wanted to spread positive thinking to others and that’s why Cuddle Fairy is all about positivity!! Positive thinking has changed my life and it can change yours too.

Life With Amelia

lifewithamelia.com

Hi I’m Rachel. 39 hailing from North Norfolk, England. During the day I work full time at a boat builders, between that and being a mummy. I fit in blogging as and when I can. […] I have been blogging now since 2001 where it all started on Livejournal, there are some embarrassing reads there. But I got to know some amazing people through it and our joint love of Lord of the Rings and Orlando Bloom. I’m happy to say some of them are still part of my life now. My blog is a mix of sporadic posts about family, parenting, lifestyle, travel and reviews. My main aim in 2018 is to update regularly with more honest posts. I have always found writing to be calming and helps my mental health, but just lately the mental health has taken over and I have to take back control. I often don’t update because I am scared that I will share too much, I have to remember that at the end of the date I need to write for myself first and foremost.

PragmaticMom

pragmaticmom.com

With three kids and a very helpful hands-on husband, I am able to chronicle our journey called parenting though my blog which focuses on education, parenting, and children’s literature. And so my blog is born from lemons squeezed painfully into lemonade. Education: from my oldest child’s bad first grade year. Parenting: from 3 kids now about to enter 7th, 4th, and 2nd grade. Children’s literature: from handing over the wrong book to my kid and rediscovering my love of KidLit.

If you want though, our charts even work for the parents too!

MudpieFridays

mudpiefridays.com

My name is Clare and welcome to my blog. Almost three and a half years ago my husband and I were blessed with a fantastic little boy, who for the purpose of this blog is referred to as Monkey. He really is the light of our lives. […] The purpose of this blog is to share some of the activities that Monkey and I get up to. The intention is that the majority of these can be replicated quickly and simply when time is short, or when you are juggling the pressures of everyday life and need a quick fix of sanity, or if you are a career mum like me you can still satisfy that urge to create. I hope you find some ideas that will give you more quality time with your little ‘monkeys’.

Melissa considers her blog, Adventures of Frugal Mom, to be the “jack-of-all-trades blog,” as she covers everything from crafts, cooking, recipes, frugal tips, reviews, multicultural life, and more. Occasionally, her Shih Tzu, Allie, hijacks the blog to give her barking opinion.

The Reading Residence

thereadingresidence.com

I’m Jocelyn, a mum of two, a daughter, born Oct 2009 and a son, born Sep 2012. They’ll be known as Boo and Little Man here. We also live with the Husband and two cute guinea pigs, and together we’re the Readings. I’ll share a little about us…Since October 2009, things have changed a fair bit around here. I had a career in leadership and financial services management, but when the time came for me to return after maternity leave, it no longer felt the right thing to be spending my life doing. So in the summer of 2010 I became a stay at home mum, and since July 2013, a blogger. I then added student to my list of things to keep me busy in 2015, as I’ve resumed my Open University degree, and I’m enjoying indulging my love of history through my studies.

We are Luschka, mama to two girls, known on the blog as Ameli (b.2009) and Aviya (b.2012). We live on the Isle of Wight, and are a home schooling/home educating family. We read a lot, and play a lot. We love to travel, love days out, and love being arty and crafty. The girls love collectibles and You Tube, and Mama dreams of a kitchen big enough for both a table and a dishwasher. […] Over the course of it’s existence, it’s fair to say the site has evolved into more than just an account of my own journey as a parent, but I try to make sure everything I write about — from reviews to recipes — is true to the natural and conscious parenting principles I have come to embrace.I make no secret of the fact that I am still learning myself, and certainly don’t claim to know everything.

Northern Mum

northernmum.com

I am mother, writer and trainer. I have three lovely children, eight year old twins and a four year old beautiful girl. We have had our share of health problems in the last couple of years and I use this space to share our experiences and keep my sanity. I write a lot about type1 diabetes and Hip Dyplasia and I try whenever possible to make my readers laugh. I find parenting my biggest challenge so far, and to avoid drowning in a bottle of gin I vent my frustrations on the written page. However the truth be told, I adore my children, my manic working life and look forward to waxing lyrical about my life and family for many years to come.

We Made This Life

wemadethislife.com

I wanted to create a space where I could not only record our family memories but where I could also inspire others to create beautiful happy lives for their family. Parenting is hard. It’s one of the steepest learning curves I’ve been on and it can be really lonely, even in this age where we live and share so much online. I’d scroll through facebook and browse blogs and it seemed to me that people were either finding life difficult and vocalising that, desperately calling for help or at the other extreme there was the perfect mums, the perfect families who were always happy and smiling. Nowhere was there something in the middle — ordinary families trying to make their way. Struggling through the hard times trying to get to the good times.

#29

Twin Mummy and Daddy

twinmummyanddaddy.com

I’m Emily, also known as Twin Mummy. I’m married to Nige, who is also a blogger at DIY Daddy. In April 2011 Twin Daddy and I embarked on our IVF Journey and we are very happy to say that as a result, we now have beautiful twin girls who were born in February 2012. […] There are many reasons why I started blogging. The first reason is because I wanted to share our IVF experience with others who are either thinking about having IVF or are currently having IVF. There is a lot of information around about the facts and figures of IVF but I thought it would be good to share our experiences so other people can hear first hand all that it entails from someone who has been through it. The second reason is so that I would have a place to capture all the exciting and important milestones our twins reach. Don’t worry though, we’re not perfect! As well as all the good times, we also share with you the hard times and believe me there are quite a few!

A Mothers Ramblings

amothersramblings.com

A Mothers Ramblings is the true story of an ordinary British family that likes to have fun. We don’t mean to be funny, but quite often find ourselves having conversations or in situations that wouldn’t be out of place in a Classic British sitcom. We love to travel, visit attractions and are quite often found in the kitchen at parties talking to the owner’s pets. The blog is written mainly by me, PippaD […] I’m not your typical British Mummy Blogger. I mean I do cook, clean, garden, play with the children and write this blog, but I also spends my free time staring out the window putting off doing the cooking, cleaning, gardening and working out if watching TV counts as playing with the children…

Glimmer of Hope

pixiedusk.livejournal.com

I am a daughter, a sister, wife and a mother! I have a son, Sebastian who is born 2010. I am from the Philippines now living here in the UK. This blog is a place where I rant and rave and share pieces of me!

#32

MummyConstant

mummyconstant.com

MummyConstant started from just a little online pregnancy journal, in a revolt against “paper”. I wanted to document my first pregnancy and it has been going strong ever since. I became pregnant with Noah in February 2010 and my first blog posts came the very next month. I wanted to capture the feelings and photographs (of course) of my pregnancy and beyond that too. I had no idea then that we would have another child 18 months later, or that the blog would be here over six years later. It is incredible to be able to capture all of the fun we have as a family and we have been on an amazing adventure. Some adventures just because of the things I write. And snap. And vlog. And put on social media. Oh well, you get the picture!

#33

Enchanted Pixie

thisenchantedpixie.org

Enchanted Pixie began back in 2010, I was a full-time Mama with three little girls at home. I began blogging to document our day-to-day life and also to give myself something creative to do. I didn’t know much about the world of blogging when I began, but what started as a hobby has grown into something so much more. Six years on, this is the longest I’ve ever stuck at any one thing for — something I’m pretty proud of! Now I work part-time on this blog while I homeschool my four kiddos. Enchanted Pixie is still a diary of our family life. It’s where I talk about motherhood, parenting, home education, things we’ve done, places we’ve been {or would like to go}, special moments and the everyday. I feel blessed to be able to call this my job — for it means I can help to support my family while spending my days with them. This space has grown and changed as I have, and indeed as my family has. There are five of us now, Mama, three girls and one little boy. I write about what I know and love, what matters most to us and how we live our life. It’s not perfect, or extraordinary, but it is our story.

Over 40 and a Mum to One

over40andamumtoone.com

I’m Mary, a late 40’s full time Mum to my Monkey son, born December 2009. I had a busy life in Export Sales before Monkey came along, but decided to become a stay at home Mum once he arrived. We’ve had a busy 8 years so far; full of adventures. Now Monkey is in school and enjoying life in Year Three, I have more time to devote to the blog, writing in general and I aim to work on my photography skills too. […] We love reviewing toys, games and books and would love the opportunity to look at anything that fits in with our family lifestyle. We are always out and about and offering an insight on the places we visit. Whether we are going on a snail hunt, exploring nature in Spain with my family, or having fun at The Natural History Museum — we love nature in all its forms.

A Cornish Mum

acornishmum.com

Hello! I’m Stephanie Couch (Stevie), I’m Mum to two Tweens Fin born in July 2004, and Harley born in February 2006. The boys and I live with my long suffering and incredibly patient partner Simon. Suffering that has included me giving him food poisoning … it was years ago and I am sure at some point in the distant future he’ll stop reminding me about it and double checking that I’ve used a meat thermometer when cooking for him. […] I started the A Cornish Mum blog in January 2015 and I write about pretty much anything under the sun! Parenting a Tween and almost Teen, lifestyle, Type 1 Diabetes, Cornwall, Travel and DIY. but if it interests me then it is likely to crop up. You are likely to see a lot of jealousy inducing photos of Cornwall on my blog, and I would request that you try not to hate me too much for this, and the fact that my children have lie ins. If it makes you feel any better, they’re both impossible to wake up for school and one of them wakes like a bear with a sore head — growling included.

Mum on the Brink

mumonthebrink.com

My name is Monika. I swapped a life of commuting, advising others on how to create communities and how to share what you learn on the job to being part of a community myself. I joined the club of parents and then ventured online to find parent bloggers in this growing online world in Spring 2010. On Mum on the brink blog I share the ups and downs, ins and outs of the most important role I’ve ever held- that of being a Mother. I have a brood of three beautiful multilingual Littlins. […] We love to travel, love the outdoors and quite like our technology- be that comms devices or household appliances. I always have big and small house improvement projects on the go- having project managed 2 big house renovation and extension projects since being home with the Littlins. We make an effort to live in a more environmentally conscious way; dabble in gardening and keeping chickens. I blog because, I love sharing what I’ve learnt so others may benefit from the learning and be saved from a mistake or two that I did make.

#39

Along Came Cherry

alongcamecherry.co.uk

I started Along Came Cherry nearly five years ago when Cherry was a baby who didn’t sleep. It was originally a parenting blog but now it’s more of a family lifestyle blog with a real focus on vegan eating, home education, upcycling, beach life and travel. We decided to home educate the children about 18 months ago, I know it’s not for everyone but we love it. […] When I started blogging I had no idea where or what it would lead to, I just did it because I wanted to share my story. It quickly became such a passion of mine and I spent all my spare time working on it then after a couple years I started getting some work opportunities and now I’m pleased to have had the chance to work with some amazing companies. I never dreamt I could earn a living through blogging and although it’s by no means easy (I work more than full-time hours!) I wouldn’t want to do anything else.

Le Coin De Mel

lecoindemel.com

Life is not always easy when you are a grown-up, but there are lots of little things in life that make me smile, like my children saying something cute or funny. I also love, in no particular order: girly chats, picnics, taking photos, a comforting home-made meal, a sharp potato peeler, crossing things off my never ending list of things to do, skiing, picturing myself in my happy place, pretty shoes, visiting a new country, family reunions, procrastinating, catching up with friends, colour-coordinated outfits, baking with my little ones, painted nails, reading, my Vitamix blender, travelling by train, coffee, mint chocolate ice cream, planning birthday parties, going to rock concerts, massages and looking at old family photos to name just a few.

Mummy From The Heart

mummyfromtheheart.com

Mummy from the Heart was born in 2008 and my USP is my honesty. I tend to be known as a blogger who will tell it as it is (but with a smile) and I’m generally a positive, glass half-full kind of girl. I love the thought that my hardest times are an encouragement to others and that means I blog the good, the bad and the darn right ugly too! […] I love life and enjoy keeping it simple. Time with my family, friends and God are what make me happiest. (Ohh and a spot of blogging/ tweeting too!) Three small people call me Mummy, JJ who is 14 and thinks he is a fully fledged adult and Miss M and Miss E, my 10 year old twinnies – chalk and cheese, they could not be more different. I’ve been married for 15 years and been with my Husband (or dh as he is called on here) since 1994, so really we have grown up together, going through lots but coming out stronger and now I could never imagine being without him. I love our little family unit of 5. I am very much imperfect and this blog tells my journey through life…. Come join me!

The Mummy Whisperer Blog

mummywhispererblog.com

I’m Lisa Pearson aka ‘The Mummy Whisperer’, not a parenting whisperer, a ‘mummy’ whisperer. So I’m the go to girl for ideas on how to enjoy being a Mum, because Mums are special and immensely important to our world. I help with free meditations, books, online courses and group programs. I’m passionate about reaching as many mums as is humanly possible – I’m looking to make a change in our world from the ground up! I’m not a perfect Mum. I’m a real Mum, with wrinkles lots of To Do’s, and a constant struggle to juggle time. I use my own techniques day in, day out in my own life; I really walk my own talk.

Mummascribbles

mummascribbles.com

I am Lisa, a mid-thirties mumma to two gorgeous boys, living in Hertfordshire with the other half. I was previously a full time working mum — commuting, going away to events and seeing the eldest boy for about an hour a day. I was miserable and struggling with the lack of mummying that I got to do. So what changed? At the end of my second maternity leave, I had worked hard enough on this blog to enable me to hand in my notice and walk away from the regular day job. I suddenly found myself in the very wonderful position of being a stay at home / work from home mum. And whilst it is utterly wonderful, it is also so very new to me. I suddenly have so many roles that sometimes it can be a little overwhelming. I am the juggler of all balls. I am the school run mum, the cleaner, the cook, the childcarer, the shopper. And at the same time, I am the writer, the social media manager, the photographer, the reviewer, the admin girl (all of which has to fit into nap times and evenings!). And somewhere in there, I always aim (but fail) to fit in an exercise regime of some form!

Hot Pink Wellingtons

hotpinkwellingtons.co.uk

Welcome to Hot Pink Wellingtons — a UK family lifestyle blog, capturing our everyday family adventures. Our family is made up of me, Katy, my husband John, our son Max (3) and baby Ben, and we live in a small town in Surrey. As a family, we love exploring outdoors and love a trip to a National Trust garden where I can wander among the pretty flowers and pick up some gardening inspiration, while Max loves to play hide and seek amongst the winding paths. Expect lots of posts covering our days out in Surrey and further afield! I started Hot Pink Wellingtons when I realised that my first year as a Mum had gone by so quickly, something that made me want to capture both our family adventures and the little snippets of our daily life that can otherwise get forgotten. I hope you enjoy following our journey!

Art of Being A Mom

artofbeingamom.com

I’m a mother of 3 wonderful children who have brought me the most unique experiences and happiness beyond measure. I’d like to share about me and what I’ve discovered as a lifestyle mommy blogger and work at home mom. I’ll also be sharing the things that my kids are into be it the latest gadget or activity. I love books, movies and food! As a family we take advantage of the time that we have when we’re all free to explore these small bits of happiness. […] I want to raise responsible, independent and happy children. I asked myself how can I do that exactly? I looked back on my own childhood and realized that I needed to be factual, straightforward and treat my children as small adults who can understand concepts if I explain it well. In comes patience and self control. These are 2 things you will definitely need as a parent. I hope I get to share techniques and tips on how to be the best mom you can be. This might not be for every mom and I’m sure I’ll shock but stay tuned you might be surprised as to how effective it can be.

mummysspace.com

Welcome to Mummy’s Space. I’m Mags, a Disney obsessed multiple Mummy to 8-year-old, Ben and 4-year-old twins, Zoey and Zachary. We are the real-life Outnumbered family, each day the kids have new and crazy challenges to throw our way, life is chaotic but lots of fun. Pre-kids I was a software engineer but discovered blogging while on maternity leave back in 2009 when I started Mummy’s Space and got hooked on writing and all things social. My blog is my space, it has grown and changed along with my family and has brought lots of awesome opportunities and experiences my way and continues to do so. […] My all-time happy place is Walt Disney World Florida with my family by my side. I love sunny days, drinks with bubbles, our cheeky chihuahua Tuco and watching scary movies.

Me, Annie Bee.

Hello! I’m Anna, a thirty something mum of two, drinking wine and trying to find the funny in parenting, for my own entertainment and sanity. […] I hate the term ‘full time mummy’, it makes me want to jab people with pins. I’m not one of those wonderful Mummy type Mummys, I don’t enjoy chatting about poo and playing ‘My Child Can’ top trumps. I much prefer trash TV (PLL and RHONY) and wine to competitive parenting. Originally from the actual North, I now live in Leeds with my husband (after a LOT of asking, he finally caved) and our two children. A terribly clever and sassy seven year old, Aoife, and an ‘energetic’*, super affectionate four year old, Seth. We also have two cats, Louis and Xabi, they are absolute idiots but they look pretty. Grab a glass of wine and join me on my journey through the madness.

The Pramshed

thepramshed.co.uk

I’m a first time Mum to a 2 year old daughter living in South East London. We’ve been here 10 years and I worked in advertising for 10 years, before deciding that it just wasn’t working for me and my daughter. So I quit the rat race earlier this year, and I’m now midway through the Digital Mums Social Media Management course and working on this blog of mine. I’m also a huge advocate in Mums who set up their own business after having children, to work for themselves and around their childcare requirements, and I now feature a Mum in Business on the blog every week. Whilst I’m not blogging or studying you’ll find me at toddler groups wiping off snot from my daugher’s face and trying to stop her fighting the other children. It’s not all that bad, that’s just the way it is with a 2 year old.

Chilling with Lucas

chillingwithlucas.com

I am in my early 30’s and live in Lancashire with my partner, D and our son, Lucas, born Feb 2015. This blog is my part on the internet where I may whitter on about something that is on my mind, jot down milestones, diarise our days out and holidays, put recipes that I have tried for me to return to and any other bits and bobs that I fancy. From being 18 I have worked full time as a support worker in various settings but mainly in the community supporting adults with learning disabilities. Since having Lucas and finishing my maternity leave, I have returned to that job part time, trained as a nail technician and also do freelance writing, social media management and work as a virtual assistant.

Let Them Be Small

letthembesmall.com

Let them be small is a parenting blog written and managed by me, Sarah. It started as a blog about life with my son, then to document my second pregnancy and then about the whirlwind that is life with two under two and then again as we welcomed our third child in June 2016. It’s developed over the past few years into a blog about the things we get up to, the places we visit and the activities we share. Damian and I live in Manchester with Daniel, (born October 2012) Emma, (born February 2014) and Harry, (born June 2016). We are keen to encourage a childhood of fun and to, simply ‘let them be small’ and allow the three of them to do the things small people can do and try to protect their childhood for as long as we can. As a stay at home mum I am keen to give them lots of experiences and use their interests to help teach them about the world. On my blog you will find information on days out that we have been on, activities we have done, books we have read and our attempts at arts and crafts. We live in Greater Manchester so always have lots of wonderful places to go.

My Money Cottage

mymoneycottage.com

Hey, I’m Clare, the face behind My Money Cottage. I started writing the blog hoping to share the huge variety of ways I’ve found to make extra money (primarily online) from home. As a Mum of three children, there is always something somebody needs. Quite often it’s an unexpected expense. It might be that one of the children suddenly develops a hole in their shoe, or a school trip rears it’s head, or the family car needs fixing. There’s always something! Over the last few years I’ve worked hard to boost our family income and make savings in order to stretch the pennies that little bit further. […] I’ve worked from home since 2009 both as a self-employed childminder and now I’m employed and work online from home. I do lots of other things online to keep our income up and try to keep us in a stable position! At My Money Cottage, you will find lots of useful information on how to boost your income, how to stash away extra cash and how to make the pennies go further. I also like to share things we’ve enjoyed doing as a family too.

The city that never sleeps… a bit like the Button house at times. We are a bunch of creatives, but all different in our own way. Daddy Button is into fine art and photography and I love writing and typography. As for Little Button, I think she’s a mixture of the both of us. Though as a recently turned FIVEcano, I can’t help but think ‘the world is her stage!’.

I am Emma, a farmer’s wife and a mummy to our three children. I have been a journalist for over ten years and am determined to write a novel one day-if I ever get a spare moment from looking after all of the children and animals. I became a mummy in January 2011 and January 2015 (April must be an amorous time here) and March 2017. It took a long time to be blessed with Baby G and I blogged through that pregnancy and my next to keep me sane until our little #farmbaby2015 and #farmbaby2017 arrived. We live an outdoors life here, on the farm and we love toys, clothes and food items to review. […] I am not a typical farmer’s wife. I love glitter, pink, make up and fashion as well as crafts, baking and home decor.

They are three adorable and smart little ones that have never ending what’s, how’s, and why’s about anything under the sun, moon, and stars! Their curiosity can sometimes be exhausting, but it is something we encourage since we believe in learning through exploratory, creative, and independent play.

Mummy Tries

I’m Reneé a full time wife and mama of three trying my best. I consider myself a fearlessly authentic blogger, documenting the highs and lows of our roller coaster life. I write about everything from my own mental health to my eldest daughter’s autism, our not entirely by choice home education journey, the food we eat which is largely Paleo/GAPS and the things we like to do. I wrote the self-help book Become the Best You which was published in December 2014. Part memoir part self-help, it details how I got myself from rock bottom back to happy. You can learn more or buy your copy here in my shop. I am currently on the seventh draft of my second book, a fictional novel about one woman’s ride through motherhood.

My name is Nikki and I am a Mum of two beautiful (I am biased but they are) children. Isaac is a Christmas eve baby and is now four and Olivia is seven! I am a teaching assistant as well as a blogger and as you can tell I really have a passion for children…well, they keep us young, so I’m told!

The Mini Mes and Me

theminimesandme.com

The Mini Mes and Me is a lifestyle blog which focuses on our magical moments, delicious bakes, fun makes and travel experiences as a family of four. It all began in February 2012 when I was working for a PR company as Editor’s Assistant and I decided to set up an online page where I could share details on our day to day lives. It has now become rather successful to the extent it is my full time career, along with freelance work and social media management, which I’m truly passionate about. I feel very lucky (and still a little shocked) to have a job which I enjoy so much and I’m thankful for the opportunities it has provided us with.

Babyfoote

I’m a 30-something mother of a boy who’s six and his three-year-old brother. We live in the North East of England, in a small two-bedroomed flat with our two cats. We love to travel — our eldest son had made 30 flights by the time he was 30 months old, which I think is pretty good going! (interestingly I made a typo in that sentence, and it originally read “we live to travel”, which isn’t too far off the mark!) Of course, travelling makes for a confusing quandary in our heads, especially now given that our second child is here, and our house ain’t getting any bigger! Should we travel or buy a new house?! So, I blog about our lives at the moment and hope you’ll join us on our journey while we grow as a family and visit new places.

Steph’s Two Girls

stephstwogirls.co.uk

This blog was started on the day I visited the paediatrician with our younger daughter Sasha (aged 2 years and 7 months at the time). The visit produced some shock news that she might be diagnosed with autism. She had delayed speech but at the time we didn’t suspect it was anything unusual. […] I instinctively felt that I should begin a diary to record what was happening for us at the time, and I also knew that I wanted the story to be about what happened next for the whole family, in particular Sasha’s older sister Tamsin, rather than just focusing on the autism. That led to the decision to name the blog Steph’s Two Girls.

Hi, I am Jen, mom of three under six. I am a mom, blogger, IT specialist and Northern Virginia native.

They have all been breastfed. I have been pregnant or breastfeeding non stop since June 2011. I was breastfeeding my first when I got pregnant with my second, and breastfeeding my second when I got pregnant with my third. Before I breastfed my daughter I had no idea how much I would love it, and how passionate about it I would become. It really opened up another dimension in me I didn’t know existed. […] I am here to give support and breastfeeding tips from someone who has just been through it, and is still going through it. I love checking out new products and you will find many product reviews here as well.

In a nutshell, I’m a 40 something, single mum of 3 boys living on the Devon coast with my pre schooler and 2 Teenagers. I’m a positive thinker and recently began a switching to a healthier, clean living lifestyle; Giving up meat, reducing my sugar intake, going to the gym and limiting chemicals within the home and my beauty regime. That’s not to say I don’t like the odd gin, everything inmoderation I say! It started out as just a challenge to see if I could. And I can. I began blogging after a suggestion from my inspirational and equally crazy friend who thought I should be sharing my thrifty, family-friendly tips with the world. It turned out that I wasn’t as thrifty as we both thought, so Ali Chapman — lifestyle blog, aka Mum in a Nutshell, evolved into a lifestyle blog with snippets of family life.

Any Way To Stay At Home

anywaytostay.com

I’m 32, married and have a 3 year old son. We live in sunny Norfolk with our cat and enjoy a lot of adventures. We travel, explore, play and get messy. I love to craft, walk and cycle, oh and I really love to Spa. My husband loves sports, all sports, but mainly you’ll find him playing golf and football. Our son, L, is very outdoorsy as well. He loves animals, so we’re at the zoo a lot, he likes exploring and finding bugs and he really enjoys just being a crazy, busy, unstoppable force of nature. I started this venture whilst on maternity leave after having my son. I was aware I would have to return to work, but I really didn’t want. This blog has followed my journey back in to the workplace, subsequently leaving to have a go at self employment and all the struggles in between. This blog is primarily a lifestyle blog, with a strong parenting theme running through it and a lot of chat about work options, mindfulness and budgeting.

Bubs on the Move

bubsonthemove.com

When my first son was 3 months old we travelled round the world. I learnt plenty from that first experience of travel with a baby. Firstly, that it is not always easy, second that it can be fun/rewarding/enriching (pick whichever word you prefer) and third that being prepared and informed makes each trip much smoother. I use this blog to share what we’ve learnt and hopefully help others enjoy their own travels.

Lukeosaurus And Me

lukeosaurusandme.co.uk

I’m 26 and I live in Hampshire, UK. I’m the mother of 4 year old Luke. I like to call him my little Lukeosaurus. I’m sure you’d guessed that already though. Blogging became a huge part of my life when I found myself looking after a 6 month old baby. I wanted to share all the Christmas crafts we were making together and talk about my early experiences of motherhood. After all, everything was new to me and I had no one to talk to about it all! Blogging was new to me too, but it soon became an obsession. I loved writing about our days, chatting about my opinions, sharing my shopping bargains and even tentatively discussing mental health and loneliness. Now I enjoy hearing the wonderful comments from people just like me. People who have been in my shoes. People who love getting crafty with their kids. People who want to save money but still live life to the fullest.

A Rear Facing Family

In this day and age we face so many choices as parents, but it’s important to inform parents of the safest possible choice for their child. Too often I come across a retailer who knows nothing about extended rear-facing and the market is far too small, though a lot of this is because most retailers believe there is no market, but the fact is; there is a market! And the market is in high demand! With this blog I wish to inform parents/carers/nurseries and so forth, about the many choices you have regarding in-car safety. I hope to inspire you all to rear-face your toddler & pre-schooler as long as possible, to answer any questions you might have on the subject either by mail or by the info I give on this blog. To make you understand, with the FACTS — why so many deaths and serious injuries can be prevented by using a rear-facing car seat for as long as possible. I hope you find my blog fun, interesting and informational and I hope that I just helped you secure your children the safest way possible!

Our little family loves exploring, especially our home-county of Norfolk but also further afield. Freya and I also enjoy crafting (even if they don’t always turn out as expected), baking (same deal), creative play and being outdoors.

Bizzimummy

My name is Eva and this is my blog, my website, my publication or whatever else you wish to call it. It all began many years ago back in 2013 when my youngest Izebella was just six months old. There I was with a sleeping baby, a partner in full time work and in need of a hobby; and so The Bizzimummy blog was born. What started as a simple hobby is now my business. Yes I’m now a self employed online publisher. I am now a single mum with three growing children. My only boy is 14 and two girls ages 10 & 5. We live in Bolton and we enjoy doing all sorts of things as a family. I am now 40 years old. I’m often told I don’t look it, I certainly don’t act it at times. But young as heart as I am I still enjoying partying the night away when my children are with their Father.

Entertaining Elliot

entertainingelliot.com

My name is Elaine, I’m 37 and I’m from Poole in Dorset. I’ve been married to Paul for the past 15 years and we are parents to Elliot who this blog is named after and inspired by! I’m a stay at home mum so much of my time is taken up by entertaining my crazy little boy so thought, what better name for my blog. Since starting this blog I have gone on to have another little one, Erin who was born in January 2017. We are still in the early newborn days but I’m looking forward to watching her grow up and will no doubt write about her on this blog. Seems like I might need a blog name change now though!

Living Life Our Way

livinglifeourway.com

Hi, I’m Katie and my daughter is ‘Squiggle’ (this is her nickname because, like many others, I do not use her real name for the purpose of this blog to protect her privacy). We live in a city in Hertfordshire, just north of London, with our two cats and two bunnies (our furbabies). We love being outdoors in nature and exploring. Before becoming a parent, I was a primary teacher and SENCo. However, I now home educate Squiggle, as this best suits her individual needs. We have both learned so very much from each other on this journey, I feel truly blessed.

Mommy-licious

She couldn’t imagine being a housewife in her wildest dreams. But somehow, after being a parent for a year, this has transformed her incredibly. You won’t be able to find any fairytales here, but brutally honest advice and stories about being a real mommy in the society. It is a lonely process yet oh so fruitful. Welcome to my blog and welcome to parenthood! Ophelia xo

The Melton House

themeltonhouse.com

My name is Rachel and I am a first time mum to our gorgeous little boy born in December 2013. I have been happily married to my husband Rob since 2011. We met in 2008 when we lived in Dundee. In 2009 we moved to Lancashire and have set up a happy life here. I was born in Manchester but lived in Dumfries in Southern Scotland until I left school and went to university in Dundee. I lived in Dundee for 10 years. I love being a mum, it’s amazing how much your life can change becoming a parent. I am a Manchester United fan (don’t hold that against me!) and my husband is a Tottenham Hotspur fan so we often have footballing debates in our house. I really enjoy watching US TV shows, mostly crime ones although I am partial to some demon/supernatural shows. We love getting out and about as a family and want Mini M to grow up loving the outdoors. We are of the thought you should always try something once and hope that we bring up Mini M with this mentality.

Hi, I’m Chantelle aka Seychellesmama. We live on Praslin Island in the Seychelles. Mark and I got Married in Cyprus July 2012, less than one month later we moved to our little island in the Seychelles. We always wanted to have a family abroad and we had Arthur in June 2013. Our family grew in August 2015. Arthur is big brother to Freddie, and we are a family of 4! We got a little bigger again when our dog, Koopa joined us a couple months later. Mark works at the International school on Praslin, and I’m lucky enough to get to be a stay at home Mummy to my little guys. On my blog you will mostly find me writing about family life and what it’s like to be an expat in the Seychelles. I also blogged all through my pregnancy if you want to have a read of what that was like. As you’d probably expect we spend a lot of time outside; at the beach, in the garden, in the national park, wherever really!! In between all that though we are still a pretty normal family!

The Parenting Jungle

theparentingjungle.com

Unable to stand watching the thousandth episode of Murder She Wrote the Parenting Jungle began unexpectedly in May 2016 when I was off work recovering from having a troublesome chest lump removed (began because of a BOOB). The TPJ took root and has grown quickly as a colourful, creative family and lifestyle blog. These are my hopeful adventures in motherhood. The perfect mother? She is fiction. Join me for the journey. Why a Jungle? I have a little lion and, that’s what my parenting journey has felt like, wading through the unknown. Jungles are wild, wonderful and full of little wildthings. Like family life. Perhaps the Parenting zoo would have been better. I may need a rebrand. A place to share my path to a finding my feet as an imperfect mother, TPJ offers a colourful mishmash of my day-to-day experiences and raw, honest posts from where I wished I had another parent to hit me in the face with a soggy nappy and say, ‘You can get through this, it’s OK if you are wearing yesterday’s pants’.

Mumfidential

mumfidential.com

Welcome to Mumfidential, an award winning, irresistible online resource for mothers! I decided to create Mumfidential in the weeks following the birth of my first son, Hector, when I spent many hours on Google, trying to work out what the hell I was supposed to be doing. […] I don’t know about you but I find many of the baby articles online to be smug, humourless and thin in substance. Rather than giving me confidence/ good advice/ something to laugh about in those early weeks, they made me doubt myself (as if I didn’t feel useless enough already!). And parenting forums weren’t always much help either: everyone was asking the same questions — and no one was answering them. Mumfidential doesn’t seek to be all things to all mothers, rather everything to a few. Our aim is to engage, inspire and entertain you through the highs and dark lows of motherhood. We’d like to be what you read when you’ve finally got some time to yourself.

Letters to My Daughter

letters-tomydaughter.co.uk

Becoming a parent means learning just how massive and terrifying the world is, and just how beautiful and inspiring it can be. How do we help our children see the beauty in the chaos and give them the tools necessary to survive and prosper physically and emotionally? Hello! My name is Alice and I’m a mother to one daughter, Dee, and wife to Dave. This blog started in my mind before Dee was born as I thought of all the ideas and life lessons I wanted to share with my new baby as she grew. I finally got going as she turned 2 1/2 after my mind got too full to hold everything and I thought an outlet that also invited and inspired conversations about positive parenting and friendly feminism could be valuable to more than just me. I aim to help thoughtful mums raise strong, empowered daughters by sharing essential information about parenting and feminism.

Hi! I’m Jo. Blogger, wife, mama of 3 small people and many fur babies. I live in Warwickshire and enjoy reading, writing, drinking tea, playing games and singing. Our home is a hub of movement and noise, I refer to it as my “happy chaos”. My blog encompasses my love of reading and writing and is both a hobby and a passion. I love to talk, I love to socialise and I love to listen. I am always interested in new ideas and different points of view. ‘Cup of Toast’ is my little minnow in the ocean of the World Wide Web, where I spout into my computer at all hours and connect with like-minded personalities.

Seek My Scribbles

seekmyscribbles.com

Hello, I’m Megan! Welcome to Seek My Scribbles. I started this blog many moons ago as an outlet for my thoughts and a place to share snippets of my life. Back then I had no idea that the blogging community even existed! Over time, I became more interested in fashion and beauty, choosing to feature them on my little corner of the Internet. I also discovered there was other beauty and fashion bloggers on Twitter and I guess that’s when I truly fell in love with blogging. A few years on, I’m 27, working for myself and have a gorgeous little boy called Arthur. It was the life-changing event of Arthur’s birth back in 2015 that inspired me to start sharing baby, parenting and lifestyle content here on Seek My Scribbles. You’ll still find fashion and beauty posts here and there but there’s nothing quite like a new baby to alter your interests and priorities!

A Joyful Mess

I am Maan, 27, a cheerful girl who loves life, loves her partner, Job, and their son, Yuri. And I love to write! I also love shopping, reading, K-drama, and travelling. I enjoy doing “mommy duties” and generally being a stage mom to my kindergartener. I like following skincare regimens, joy rides, brush lettering (I am not the best in the world but I can do it), creative planning, and doing boring stuff like budgeting, investing, and attending meetings. I’m also passionate about food! After more than 2 years of blogging as Davao Mommy, I decided to start over and create a new one. I wanted a fresh start and a venue to express my thoughts that is more personal, more me. This blog is called Joyful Mess, and it is about my life that is naturally messy. Despite trying to be a neat-freak and having a bit of an OCD, I realised that life is naturally messy. I learned that we learn a lot from making mess. There is joy in the mess.

I work all the time as a Playleader, a blogger and a VA and have a passion to help people, travel and educate our girls.

My passion to help others and my childcare background has given me the ability to work at home, educate our girls and share this amazing journey with you (packed with fantastic recourses!)

Medicated Follower of Fashion

medicatedfollower.com

I am first and foremost a Mummy to my gorgeous boys; Ethan born in July 2009 (he will be 8 this July) and Felix born at home in May 2013 (4 in May 2014). You may be wondering “Why Medicated Follower of Fashion?”. Well, hopefully you will have heard of The Kinks song, Dedicated Follower of Fashion. I love fashion and style, I love blogging about it. I needed something catchy. When I started blogging I was suffering from Post Natal Depression and taking medication for it. It came to me quite easily really – I was a Medicated Follower of Fashion! I’m no longer medicated, but I’m still a lover of fashion. The name has stuck now, and I love it! My blog is centered all around our adventures together, what we get up to and what we wear doing it! I am a lover of clothes, colours, craft and food. I am carving out a niche for myself in the blogisphere. I am happy to provide reviews for products and am particularly keen on spreading the word for unusual and lesser known children’s clothing companies. I believe that you can have as much fun with your child’s clothes as you can have being a child!

Simply Homemade

Hi there, welcome to Simply Homemade. My name is Nicola, wife to Mr Simply Homemade and Mum to five children (17, 13, 12, 5, 4); three girls, two boys. I am a stay at home Mum and Simply Homemade is my little piece of the internet, my blog which was born in 2011 and initially started as a place to share recipes with family and friends. This blog is about me and my ‘perfectly imperfect, simply homemade’ lifestyle. The main focus is family food; I also share many of my own thoughts, the things my family and I like, the books we read, shows we watch; and of course tidbits of life from the Simply Homemade home. I quite like to think of Simply Homemade as my own little magazine; a feast of the things that both I and my family like; and I hope that you like it too.

Mixed.Up.Mama

mixedracefamily.com

Then she said it. “I wish I had a Mama that looked like me”. This year has been huge in my daughter’s life as she’s become more and more aware of both her own colour and that of people around her. We only talk about race and colour in a positive way, acknowledging the differences but recognising that people are all the same inside. My heart dropped- sensitive to the hurt I might have caused her but devastated as well that she would think skin colour would mend her broken heart. Where do you go next when your children realise they’re different?

Natural Beauty with Baby

naturalbeautywithbaby.com

Hello and thanks for visiting my blog, I’m Helen — Jonah’s mum, and wife to Martin. We live in Stockton-on-Tees in the UK. When Jonah was born in June 2016 I took maternity leave from my job as a user interface and experience designer, and didn’t return. I’m now a stay at home mum. I started this blog because natural skincare is my passion. I’ve had tricky skin in the past, as I suffer with psoriasis. This led me down the path of searching for kind and gentle alternatives to mainstream beauty products. Isn’t it fascinating how we can use plant based ingredients to help and heal? […] My blog helps me to document the brands, products and ingredients I uncover, and I want to share this research. I really love the products I suggest on my blog, and I know you’ll love them too.

Rice cakes and Raisins

ricecakesandraisins.co.uk

Hello! I’m Jen, a midlands based mum of two small boys. I’ve previously worked as a nurse but am now self-employed, splitting my time between running my business (a new type of sensory class for babies) and blogging. Rice Cakes and Raisins is a parenting and lifestyle blog. The idea was first born after the birth of my second-child, when I began to have faith that after all the worry, self-doubt and guilt that can come from being a first-time parent, that really, I’d been doing just fine. I want others to know that it’s OK to just be you, to not have parenting and adult life completely figured out, that it’s OK to sometimes be a bit rubbish at it and to want to scream into the abyss one minute and at the next, squeeze them to pieces because they’ve been so cute you might die. My journey here hasn’t been entirely smooth sailing; our first pregnancy wasn’t to be and when it ended it changed everything, I changed and my husband changed. It did however pave the way for the arrival of my two small boys and for that I very blessed.

London With a Toddler

londonwithatoddler.com

There is a great myth about London — in fact there are many. The mutant-sewer-people who live in the tube tunnels, the mouse in the Leicester Square KFC (actually, less of a myth, more of a news story)…but the one I’m referring to is the myth that you have to leave London when you have kids. That London is not child-friendly, and any toddler who steps over the M25 will get instantly swallowed up a beast known as The Crowds. It’s not true, but getting out and about in London can feel daunting with kids. I’m here to help. I am Kate — mother, writer, thinker. […] London with a Toddler is an account of our adventures — a subjective, wholly anecdotal, rarely factual review of things you can do in this great city of ours with a couple of small children in tow. As I said when I started this blog, hopefully it will be of some use to someone somewhere. But life isn’t all sandpits and playgrounds — I’m also a freelance writer, to pay the bills and (more importantly) keep me in wispas and slushies.

Bakes, Books And My Boys

bakesbooksandmyboys.com

Hello, thanks for dropping in! I’m Lucinda, a mum who adores the outdoor life but also the baking within. With my husband Rory we together run our somewhat chaotic life in Sussex with two gorgeous but mischievous boys, our mad springer spaniel Daisy and golden retriever Gus, two fire siding loving cats Indie & Anna and three fun, very different but full of character chickens! Bakes, Books & My Boys was started back when we were townies and used to escape to the countryside at every chance and wanted to share with people just how easy it was to get outside all year round. We have since moved to the countryside and love it just as much and we now share tips around the house, baking and great places to visit around the UK and abroad.

DadvWorld

Me! David Shaul aka DadvWorld and now one half of David and Donetta on YouTube too! I was going to start with saying the usual ‘Ah there’s not much to tell’ line, but then how could I write a blog if there wasn’t much to tell? I will however keep this short and sweet otherwise you’ll not need to read my blog posts which is where you will actually find out who I am. I’m writing this blog for a few reasons, firstly, I love writing. Secondly, because I have views about probably everything and I’m frightened of divorce if I continue to air them relentlessly at only the wife and nobody else. The most important reason however, is so that in 10 years time we can look back at our journey and remember more vividly the great memories we’re making now! Finally I think the opportunities out there are endless and I see blogging as a platform to hopefully build a career of my own.

I love the flexibility of blogging, and can spend more time with my family. Although being a workaholic you will mainly find me in my office! I’m a mum of one, Freddie who is actually called Frederick, or Fred, or the Fredster depending on our mood, and he was born in December 2009. I am also step mum to a girl and a boy, who are 24 and 20. We also live with my husband Stu, daddy to the kids and our Westie. When Freddie was born I was working as a Finance Director in an engineering company and planned to be a working mum. So Freddie started full time nursery at the age of 3 months. All was going well until he turned 18 months, myself and my husband worked away a lot and we working in excess of 60 hours a week each plus time at home. As I had had no maternity leave I decided to hand in my notice in October 2011. The CEO was convinced I would be back after 6 months, but nearly 6 years later I have never looked back.

Glam & Geeky Mum

glamandgeekymum.com

I’m Nikki a thirty-something ginger and a married mum of 3, step mum of 2. When i’m not blogging my time is split between getting my mum A-game on and trying to find those tiny little moments of time to myself to indulge in my interests which are gaming, geekery, keep fit, make-up and comping amongst many more. I also love new technology whether it be the latest apps, or gadget and money-saving (even better when i can combine the two!). I eat way too many Jaffa cakes and love iced margaritas, but not together…that would be all types of wrong

I love tea drinking, crochet, baking, flamingos, and all things Potter. I started Mummy Hearts You in 2012 under a different name. Slowly finding my groove and finally settling on a name that suited me and the blog. It started as a hobby, but I fell quite in love with it and now its become something so much more. I will be sharing posts about life as a parent, my love for crochet, home renovations and general ramblings of day to day life. I hope you enjoy this little bit of space as much as I do.

Navigating Baby

navigatingbaby.com

I am the proud mummy to two little boys and twin girls. Over the past 6 years I have navigated my way through the world of mummyhood sometimes successfully and sometimes less so. There have been so many times when I have needed to look for advice on the internet and have often found it impossible to find information written by someone actually in my situation. Sometimes I just wanted to hear that someone else had not been able to get their baby to stop crying, potty train, sleep through the night or eat their dinner and I have found that in the competitive world of parenting it is not always possible to find that someone and so I started my own parenting blog. Having a baby and raising children is a wonderful, but often challenging journey for which there is no sat nav and no manual. I wanted to create a space to store all of the useful facts I have found out and to share these along with any hints and tips I may have. I hope that this is what you will find in our parenting blog; Navigating Baby.

Hi and welcome to The Willow Tree. I’m Michelle, also known as Shel and I am a mama to three beautiful crazy kids — I have two handsome boys and a wild and wonderful girl. I really wanted a concrete place to share my thoughts, ideas and my ups and downs on family life with added elements of things I love, such as fashion and beauty and travel. I’d love for it to be a community of support and advice for others too. I chat everything from life style, parenting hacks to the latest haul from primark! I love going on family breaks and holidays and love to document these times of creating special memories.

Arepops

If you love honest parenting and other random things you’ll feel right at home here. I’m Ayse, it’s pronounced ‘eye-sha’ for anyone that was wondering. I’m a mum of two girls and still getting my head around it all! We moved to Wales from London when I was pregnant with Pops and I made the choice to not go back to work… something I thought I’d never do growing up. I love mooching around charity shops and car boot sales and love to do crafty things, although my skill level doesn’t match my ambition!

Within These Walls Blog

withinthesewallsblog.com

Hello, Hiya, Howdy (do people still say howdy?) My name is Cara and I started this blog at the end of 2014. It began as my creative outlet when I was struggling with giving up my career in retail management to become a mother. I started out blogging about parenting and over the years it has evolved into a blog that covers interiors, lifestyle and fashion but always always has being a mother at its heart. I have recently been nominated for the UKBlog awards 2018 which I am thrilled about. I live just outside of Cheltenham with my husband Simon and two sons Harbor (6) and Sonny (4) where we are renovating our little cottage.

Mrs Helicopter Writes

mrshelicopter.com

I’m 42 and I live in Cardiff. I am Welsh (mostly) but lived in London town for a bit as a kid. […] When I got back from Oz I met my lush husband Emlyn K Helicopter and resumed working for the Church. Before long, I was married with 2 kids: G (a boy, 8) and J (a girl, 4) and 3 cats: Bertie, Spider and Muffin. Yeah I know, the cats names’ are awful. I have no defence. Why I starting blogging: I started this blog in 2012 as a diet bore to help me lose weight. I changed direction of it to become more “parenty” when I was up the duff with J but its finally morphed into more of a general feminism-tinged writer-y place. I’m SO articulate. *cough* I’ve also since had a gastric band and taken my diet woes over to this blog. What this about blog is NOW: I write about lots of things here…. being a parent, being a woman (hence the feminism theme), having mental health challenges (mainly anxiety), kids=hardwork, how I like wine and plenty of other things. I moan a lot. I’m quite childish (you may have noticed) and I overshare BIG TIME.

To Become Mum

tobecomemum.co.uk

Welcome to To Become Mum – a UK family & lifestyle blog written by me, Kelly, a mum of Ethan (5) and bump (due December 2018), who lives in the Midlands with her husband and menagerie of pets and who started documenting her life, loves and adventures in motherhood almost six years ago. My own journey to become mum began in 2013 when my son, Ethan, was born. Since then, I’ve realised that becoming mum isn’t something that just happens when you hold your child for the first time; it’s a journey (with many twists and turns) that never ends. I am now sharing my journey to become mum again, as baby #2 is due in December, so as well as posts about family life and my interests, from interiors to food, style to travel, there’s also going to be a lot more about pregnancy and babies again!

BekyLou

Well hello, thanks for stopping by to find out a little more about me. My name is Beky Morris and I am 21 years old currently spending too much money and living in Wiltshire back at the parents house with my boyfriend Steve and our gorgeous little baby bump! I started BekyLou.com after many months of not quite knowing what I wanted to do with my life towards the end of summer 2013. Now almost four years on I am loving every single second of being a blogger and am loving that I’m now able to do more with my space on the internet than just rambling with shoddy edited photos. Blogging, taking my photography, trying out all of the new products and being especially lucky to be invited to events is something that fills my heart with so much joy and I am so happy to be able to do this as my job. Since I was 13 I’ve been obsessed with makeup; I’ve been crazy about fashion since I can remember and for the past couple of years fitness has been a massive part of my life. I love incorporating all of these sides of me into my blog and writing about what I know and what makes me happy! Now being a first time momma-to-be, I’m even more excited to start documenting my pregnancy and life as a 22 year old mumma on my blog too. I’ve always wanted a family of my own and starting this next chapter of my life is equally as exciting as it is scary and I can’t wait for you to join me on my journey.

mama cat + baby bee

mamacatandbabybee.com

I thought that I couldn’t make this blog. I thought that the market was saturated, that I had nothing new to add. So I began a very different blog. I tried to be original. But it was hard work, it wasn’t natural. Then one day, sat in the car while Baby Bee slept, watching the rain roll down the windscreen, it clicked. This is what I know. This is my background. It’s what I do everyday. It seemed silly to fight that. So here is my little blog about being a mama. I’m a tea-drinking (mainly cold), baby-wearing, breastfeeding and bed-sharing IVF mama. A lover of books, warm socks, stationery and rainy days. A writer, feminist, early years professional and aspiring photographer. Baby Bee is our little wonder of science and love. We live in Yorkshire and have adventures whilst Daddy goes to work. Some times they’re big, but mostly they’re little.

Along Came Jay

alongcamejay.com

A warm welcome to ALONG CAME JAY. I’m Bella, born in England with indian roots and a first time mummy to a baby boy called Jay Devan born in March 2014. He is now a toddler! I made the transition from working as an Executive Assistant for a Corporate Bank in London to full time mummy and slowly but surely finding my feet in my role. With the help of my wonderful best friend who just happens to be my husband Mr M, we are embarking on what is the greatest challenge of our lives. […] The name Jay means Victorious in Sanskrit which was an emotion I certainly felt having given birth! I simply loved reading pregnancy and lifestyle blogs over the past few years and there are many bloggers out there that have inspired me to share my thoughts and document my experiences with my little Jay bird. Whatever the future holds I hope Jay will view this record of his mummy’s ramblings with admiration in the years to come! I’m also a sponsored Vlogger with the Channel Mum team which is incredibly exciting, a community of mums forming the UK’s first YouTube Channel for Mums describing the honest face of parenting.

kkmooandmonkey2.com

Hi, and welcome to KK Moo and Monkey Too — a place to inspire parents of children with additional needs, and reassure and help them find the information to make life just that bit easier. As a parent of special needs children, I know how difficult life can sometimes feel and my aim is to share our journey with you! I’m Clarissa, I’m 34 year old, mum to two girls. My first born is Keira (KK), and she is 11 years old. My second daughter is Evie (Monkey), and she is 3 years old. Keira was born in 2006. She absolutely loves Minecraft, drawing and dramatics. Evie was born in 2014 and is a huge fan of Paw Patrol, baths and bubbles. Both girls love a bit of slime as well — much to my delight!

She Flies With Her Own Wings

sheflieswithherownwings.co.uk

I started my blog back in 2011 when I was pregnant with my youngest son, Harry. I wanted it to be a space I could write my thoughts and feelings, and at the time didn’t realise what a massive community there was until I found myself as part of it. I am really passionate about blogging and I’m not sure what I would do without it. My blog started with no clear path I suppose, then turning into a “mummy blog” and has taken a more lifestyle approach. I think it’s important for me to have a place to write about my life, away from being a mummy but also with the chance to write about parenthood and my children too. I love nothing more than sitting down with a coffee, with the laptop open, and the chance to just write. I write about a mixture of topics, although one that is really close to my heart is mental health. Mental health has been a big part of my life for a number of years and I think it’s really important to discuss how it has affected me, how I am trying to overcome it and to explain what causes it to try and “normalise” it and to help others understand it, as well as helping those who suffer silently to realise they are not alone.

WeeOhana

Hello lovelies! I hope you enjoy my blog and find it insightful! I am a 20 something year old mum to two wonderful children and a pretty great hubby! My little girl is very outgoing, loves to be outdoors, running about, chatting, eating whatever is in sight and she genuinely just loves life! My little boy is the cutest little chap there is, but we are going through a pretty tough time with him at the moment. He is waiting to be seen by the Autism team to get his official diagnosis though we have already been told it is severe autism they just can’t rubber stamp the page till he is three! I blog about our days out, struggles, baking, sensory play, favorite toys, cooking, therapy and everything else that happens in our lives!

Man vs. Baby

man-vs-baby.co.uk

We are the screw-ups; the play-it-by-ear, winging-it normals; the inept, the scared, the disorganised, the immature and clueless. We have vomit on our shoulder and yellow shit under our fingernails and.. Jesus Christ, are we tired!?.. but we are Legion. And, our kids will be the kids that other kids want to play with. They will become the adults that other adults want to have a beer with. They will be the smart ones, the creative ones, the ones that will change the world or just make it better in tiny slivers. Because, as useless and pathetically shit as we are, our children will be the best of us. Because we give a f*ck that they can be….This blog’s for us lot.

Little Miss Eden Rose

littlemissedenrose.com

I am Emma, a parent and lifestyle blogger. I’m a mummy to a very happy 5 year old daughter, introducing Little Miss Eden Rose. I honestly don’t believe my life truly started until I had her. She makes me laugh she makes me cry, but every day she fills my heart so it is fit to burst. My little angel is forever making up little songs, drawing pictures for me or whispering her secrets in my ear. I feel truly blessed. I am a busy mum juggling home life, school runs, days out, the gym and running The Candy Bag Shop. Its a job I absolutely love, I get to work from home and design lots of pretty things for fellow small businesses, weddings, party and all occasions! I absolutely love being creative and am always making something or on a course to learn something new. I will be blogging about all my loves. We spend lots of days out and about on little adventures. I love nothing more than to capture those memories with thousands and thousands of photos! (In actual fact an ‘Apple Genius’ once told me I had the most photos and videos he had ever seen on a phone and he had seen a lot!). I will be blogging about all our little adventures, unusual days out, travel, my bargain finds, fashion, arts and crafts, keeping fit and healthy, event and party planning and our family life in general.

Mummy, but still me

mummybutstillme.com

I’m Natalie, a stay-at-home mum to Amelie (6) and Charlie (4), winging it most of the time. We live in a bungalow in a little seaside town in Devon. [..] I finally found the confidence to start my own blog in October 2016. Oddly it was a mum at Amelie’s school who gave me the nudge as it turned out she too was a parent blogger. My blog is mostly about motherhood ramblings, helpful tips, family photos, favourites, reviews, meal plans, fitness and recipes. I find it a great release to vent some of my frustrations I have during the day when I have only children to natter too, I like recording our memories for us to look back on and laugh about (N.B. that’s my beer, not Charlie’s).

Peacockscanfly

peacockscanfly.com

It’s important for mums to be real and not pretend the motherhood journey (whether as a full-time mum or working mum) is always easy. We hardly get to hear the stories that make the majority of regular working mums feel less alone and realise that the struggles and failures is part of the process.

Popcorn for Lunch

popcornforlunch.com

In the style of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, please let me introduce myself. ‘Hi, My name’s Jemma and I’m a blogger.’ If you’ve enjoyed reading my blog then I wanted to let you know that it’s all written by me. If you hated it and thought it a bit shit then I’ve actually no idea who wrote it, I’m just the tea lady. In a Top of the Pops style manner, let me tell you some boring facts about myself: 1. I used to be a lawyer (just saw your fillings when you yawned then), 2. I can tap dance (but I don’t because my bum’s too wobbly these days and no one needs a jiggling, dancing blancmange in their life), 3. I love to write and write better than I talk (like the reverse of a reality TV star) 4. My pet rabbit bit me as a child but I still loved and cared for it afterwards. This has been the theme of my life — being nice to people who are dickheads. 5. The most important thing in my life (aside from my kids and husband) is the biscuit tin (no. 2 is making more sense now, isn’t it?), Anyway, feel free to have a rummage (round my blog not my biscuit tin — that’s off limits)

Ever After With Kids

everafterwithkids.com

My name is Kate, mother to two little girls – April and Ariel. Growing up I suffered with terrible insomnia, I would stay awake all night unable to sleep, and in those hours I would do one of two things, either read infinite numbers of books (pretty sure I had read my way through my entire high school library by GCSEs), or write in a journal (many people had suggested it would help to clear my mind and sleep.) Thankfully in adulthood my insomnia is a thing of the past, nowadays my head hits the pillow and I’m gone. I do miss keeping a journal though, writing for the sake of putting things in print and having a record for all time, I still go back to my teenage diaries and laugh and cry and wonder at the seemingly irrelevant details I recorded, they make me happy now that those times are gone, so I thought I’d start recording and writing about this new stage in my life in the hope that one day in the far away future I will look back and be glad I took an hour out every now and then and wrote something down about this crazy time.

Over the years I have sought out anything and everything I can to make our daily lives just a little easier. From products, to parenting tricks to ways to make every day tasks simpler, these are the things that save my sanity every day of the week. How Can I Help You?

Winging it with Harper

wingingitwithharper.com

Welcome to Winging it with Harper. My name is Kerry and I’m about to run through all the things about me. I started Winging it with Harper back in February of 2017 as a safe place to share all my thoughts and feelings about life with my daughter, life with mental health and really anything I felt like writing. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would be something I would share with the world, but in March of 2017 I decided to make it public and hit publish to the world. […] I’m always happiest when I have caffeine or a good nap, I’m one tired mama, you’ll normally find me with my head in a book, I’m a Harry Potter nerd and there is nothing better than re reading those books time and time again. My parenting sidekick is a super dreamy human called Adam, who I honestly don’t think he understands what I do or why haha! We currently live in Bournemouth Dorset but are saving to start an adventure in Hartlepool, whilst it will be hard to leave we’re so excited for the next chapter in our lives. I live with Social anxiety, Depression, a personality disorder and the absolute cherry on the cake Psoriasis. I’ve been using Winging it with Harper as a platform to share my journey in the hope it can help others.

Little Snippets

littlesnippets.co.uk

Oh hi there! I’m Hanna, mum to two (nearly) under two , blogging my way through the highs and lows of Motherhood. I’m all about building up other mums, sharing the love and spreading a bit of positivity. I’m a wannabe Pinterest mum with a deep love for carbs and magpie-like tendencies. If it sparkles, I want it! I’m raising ‘free range’ children, my toddler can generally be found with crazy hair, bare feet and ice cream all over her face. I’m sure my son will be the same! I’m not a perfect mum but I love them fiercely and give them my all. I’m also an emotional wreck and I’m definitely not afraid overshare my thoughts and feelings on the internet. I’m keeping it real and raw in the hopes that people can relate and feel less alone on this crazy ride we call Motherhood.

Booberrit

Hi! That’s me (Berrit), no not the little guy, the legs to the left to the left… I’m a blogger, freelance writer and mother to the Boo. Although based in the UK we split our time between here and Greece (Mr.O’s homeland). […] Although, mostly just a hobby and a way to wind down of an evening the main point of this blog is to openly share information. Like most first time parents Google became my new best friend (and foe). Able to ply me with instant answers to any question I had from mucus consistency to stool size, what I found was that pretty much every site Google directed me to would either force feed me somebody else’s holier than thou, no budging opinions on how I should live my life or alternatively leave me following a trail of breadcrumbs until finally being led to some form of paid subscription to unlock the pearls of wisdom they were sure I’d been searching for. Here there is no right or wrong way, only a collection of the most helpful information I have found on my journey so far, a continuously growing source of unbiased articles, reviews, tips and ‘how to’s’ for you to read, share and reply to. So, please do, between breastfeeding, bum wiping and washing up I’m quite responsive.

Earth Based Fun

earthbasedfun.com

For many years we had discussed children but we were both very happy and neither felt the urge to start a family. Maybe it was turning 30? Maybe seeing so many friends having children? After a few years of trying in 2009 Dylan came crashing into the world at nearly 11lbs he changed everything around us and about us forever. I knew after having him I couldn’t go back to hotel management. Children simply don’t fit into the hours and pressure needed to run a hotel. […] When Dylan was 5 years of age we decided we wanted him to have a brother or sister. […] Matilda arrived in March 2015. Adored by the boys in her life she is a total blessing. Not a day goes past that I don’t realise how lucky I am to have two healthy children. […] I took the time off to think about what I really wanted. I had already started volunteering with a local forestry school and I love it.I felt that was the path I wanted to take so I went to the college, the same college I had studied at over 20 years ago for tests and interviews to start a teaching assistant course. I passed the tests and I am proud to say at the grand old age of 43 I will be starting my teaching course with the end result to be a forestry school teacher in September. Life’s to short to not follow those dreams and time flies.

Jog on Mum

Hello, I’m Geraldine! First and foremost a little bit about me I am a wife and mum! I’ve been married to my poor, I mean lucky hubby for 10 years. We are very fortunate to have two beautiful kids, the eldest one is our daughter, aka the Pink One, the youngest is our son, aka the Blue One — I adore them both though they can drive me to distraction! I am a natural born worrier and a rather anxious person, diagnosed in 2014 with a General Anxiety Disorder, which goes wonderfully with my IBS type symptoms and OCD tendencies! Don’t even get my talking about my dietary issues, poxy low FODMAP diet…I took up running in February 2014 — which has been an amazing, a time to help with clearing my head — with the additional benefit that it’s good for my health too! It was because of my running I thought I would do this blog — to share my running journey/adventure and hopefully help others who are just starting out. Though after writing my first blog I’ve realised this could be a platform to relieve my mind of it’s usual over thinking!!! My blog is now my unpaid therapist — I will cover anything from days out as a family, the trials and tribulations of parenthood, arts and crafts with the kids to my own photography!

Hello! I’m Karen, a stay-at-home mum to one very entertaining 3 year old girl and a very hungry 3 month old boy. There’s a lot I could tell you about myself. I could tell you how I got hospitalised with tonsillitis in the knees a few years ago, or how I once struck up a very awkward conversation with Richard E Grant on the District Line, when I mistook him as someone from work, rather than from ‘Withnail and I’…. But I suppose I’m probably best sticking with the basics. I’m originally from the north-east, but have moved around a bit, stopping off in Cardiff, London, Tokyo, a couple of other Japanese places, and Germany. However, my love of corned beef pasties eventually drew me back to Durham, where I now live with my husband and our little girl and boy. Life is hectic, and now with two children, even more hectic than I’d ever imagined it could be. That said, there’s not a day goes by that I don’t feel lucky and grateful to have my two little tinkers.

Brody, Me & GDD

brodymeandgdd.com

I’m Laura. I’m 33 years old and mummy to Brody (5) and Sydney (2). I’m a stay at home mum who likes to blog to offload, campaign for disabled rights and re-start diets every Monday (not really the last one, but you’d think that was the case!). I fell into blogging through writing about a nappy petition I started in January 2016. I am a big believer in campaigning for disabled rights and access for all, so as well as pestering supermarkets about nappies, I campaign for Changing Places. It’s unfortunate that we have to shout in order to try and be heard sometimes, but we all have the ability to change things for the better.

victoriahockley.co.uk

I’m Victoria otherwise known as Vicki. I’m married to Andy and have been for seven years! Our boys are James who is 5 (Born August 2012) and Freddie who is 2 (Born November 2015). We live in a suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne in the North East of England. I have been blogging since May 2014 about James, who was the inspiration behind the name as I have always called him my little cheeky monkey! Then Freddie came along and became my baby Bear! I have a degree in Professional Broadcast Techniques from Salford University! We use the blog to record our family memories and of course we love to try out new things to make life as a family easier! With two little boys life is never going to be dull!

My Mummie’s Pennies

mymummyspennies.com

My Mummy’s Pennies is all about making sure Mummies’ pennies are well spent. Although that doesn’t always mean that the cheapest price is the best option. I write about how ‘My Mummy’s Pennies’ are spent, whether that be on family days out, toys, craft activities, food, beauty products or fashion and style. For me it’s not just about getting the lowest price but the best quality products that are fit for purpose and have longevity. It’s all about value for money. My name is Jen, I’m a working mum of two living in Manchester and this is where I share our memories. Our posts feature days out, thrifty tips, craft activities, reviews and family fun. I am a self proclaimed bargain queen and love the warm fuzzy feeling of finding a good deal!

Missuswolf

I’m a thirty something who lives in the North East of England. I like prossecco. And food. I’m also partial to wine and gin. And the occasional cuppa. This blog used to focus on books and writing. Then I had a baby. And needed something to keep my brain ticking while on maternity leave. So I blogged about my antics, feelings and frustrations of my motherhood journey. Now I’m back at work full time. Joining all the other Super Women out there who juggle toddler’s, work, home, husbands and social lives (so I’m a HUGE supporter of the #FlexAppeal Campaign) I now blog about Family Life with The Man Who Lives With Us and The Little Lady. I’m also very supportive of mental health matters. This crazy life of mine needs some balance. Reading and writing is my sanctuary (along with hiding in the kitchen to eat chocolate).

Mummy In The MadHouse

mummyinthemadhouse.com

I’m Gemma, nice to meet you! Thankyou for taking the time to visit my little corner of the internet. I’m a full-time Mummy & Housewife. I live in sunny Dorset with my partner MR.B & our 3 lovely, albeit slightly crazy children. We are a fun-loving chaotic family that loves to go out on family day’s out & finding new adventures, whether that is travelling far or closer to home. When I’m not running around after my 3 children, I like to drink coffee- lots of coffee! Having a nose on Pinterest, eating out, cosy nights in & shopping, I’m probably borderlining becoming a shopaholic, but I wouldn’t ever admit that! My blog is a place for me to share my parenting rants & rambles, products that I personally love, or we love as a family & lots of healthy recipes, my love for cooking has re-ignited! My blogs are extremely open & honest, I will always put 110% into them, I may even ramble on abit so I will apologise in advance.

Missy.B & Family

missyb-andfamily.com

My name is Missy. I am a 35-year-old mother of 6 and the author of this blog. Through writing this blog I am hoping to share my experiences with others, being as honest as possible, as I deal with normal day to day family life as well as raising a child with additional needs and trying to get him the help/support he requires. Daddy D is my husband and best friend. He works a ridiculous amount of hours to support our family. He is very ‘hands on’ when it comes to helping at home with the children (and the housework) and we would be lost without him.

The Whimsical Adventures of a Not So Supermum

thewhimsicaladventuresofanotsosupermum.com

I am a wife, a high school teacher, a mum of two and occasionally I dabble in the fine art of cake baking and decorating. I am bumbling my way into the blogging world upon the request of some fellow mum chums so here goes. Having had two beautiful boys in two years there have been many adventures along the way, there’s been lots of laughter, definitely lots of tears and many moments where I have wondered “What the hell am I doing?” Or thought “How am I going to make it through to the end of the day?”. […] Please be under no illusion that I am some literary genius, in fact I am far from it. I apologise now for bad punctuation and grammar and incorrect structuring, I shall not claim to be any good at this. What I write is literally the words that tumble round in my poor excuse of a brain. My aim is share my stories and highlight the not so glamorous world of mummydom which may or may not resonate with many of you out there. Enjoy and may it bring laughter when things are tough or just bring some comfort knowing you are not alone….let’s do this!

The Perfect Juggler

theperfectjuggler.com

The Perfect Juggler blog is written by me, Katie. A slightly too honest, slightly too open, slightly sarcastic single mum to an overly dramatic 5 year old daughter called Charlotte and a laidback 9 year old whippet called Sophie. I live in Warwickshire and am trying to juggle the many balls that constitutes my life. These include family, friends, dating, the dreaded job and all the other things that could come crashing down at any moment. I love baking, although Charlotte has Coeliac Disease so now all bakes are gluten free. I also enjoy yoga, going out dancing and interior design but I very rarely have time to do any of it!

Home Family Life

homefamilylife.co.uk

Hello and thanks for stopping to view my blog. My name is Leah and I’ve been blogging since 2010. When I first started blogging I focused my posts on photography and baking, 2 of the things I love in life. This was a great way for me to practice and share what I learnt. Since then I wanted to share a wider variety of subjects to include my craft and DIY projects, as well as my experiences with family life. I’ve been married to Keith since 2014 and we live in the north of England. We’re now the parents of our cute little boy Tommy who was born at the end of 2015 and his brother Fraser born just a few days before Christmas 2017. Life is so different now and I’m experiencing a whole new side to life. I’m always looking for ideas to improve things around our home and new ideas for the garden. I’m so grateful for others sharing their ideas that have helped me, so I’d like to do the same and share with my readers. Everything you see on this blog is real life, these are the projects we’re doing for our own home and garden, these are my thoughts and experiences in life.

Kristine’s Blog

kristinesblog.com

Who doesn’t see a glimpse of an idyllic looking family playing serenely at the park or looking picture-perfect on social media and feel like they’re failing to measure up? You need to remind yourself of the ‘swan effect’. You may see other mamas paddling along looking effortless, but what you don’t see are the frantic efforts beneath the surface. Let go of the perfection myth. Accept the house may be pristine, you may have prepared a delicious, home-cooked meal and done a fun, educational activity with the children rather than bribing them with cookies and the iPad, but that these things will never happen all at once. Take a deep breath and let go of the myth of ‘perfect’. A little chaos is perfectly okay. Your only real objective is to make sure everyone is alive with all their limbs intact — that is a successful day. Anything else is a bonus. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is simply this: you love your children too much to care about the challenges above. However scary all of the things you’ll face seem now, you’ll overcome them without a backward glance. That’s the power of a mama’s love.

Oh So Mummy

I’m Laura, a 20 something mummy just winging it through motherhood. I like wine, photography & gadgets. I started blogging regularly back in 2015 when me & Jamie started IVF to have our own baby together. […] Jayden was my first born, young mum at the age of 16. I’m not ashamed, I’m proud of where we have come since then. Jayden was born 10 weeks premature and has suffered from many developmental issues throughout his childhood. Jayden was recently diagnosed with ADHD, it may be something I speak about on the blog soon but at the moment I don’t know where to start. He doesn’t let his problems get in his way though, he’s full of determination and I am so proud of him. Isaac is Jamies son from his previous relationship. He’s your typical boys boy, loves the outdoors and getting dirty! He comes to visit on the weekends and school holidays. Arlo Our special IVF baby. We feel so lucky to have been blessed with our little Arlo. He’s a cheeky little boy who loves everyone, he’s always got a smile for the stranger in the shop or the lady at the bus stop. Jamie, the most amazing man I could have ever fallen in love with. He’s the best father for my children and a brilliant role model for them. He always puts his family first and he’s the most loving, caring guy I’ve ever met!

Mummy Market

mummymarket.co.uk

My name is Sam and I’m a first time Mum to Jack (now nearly 5 years old!!!). Alongside looking after my gorgeous boy (and husband John!), I’ve spent hours trying to find the best deals on essentials for Jack. Trying to use price comparison sites, double checking the supermarkets along with the baby events being held, is all very time consuming. Time that you could be spending with your little one or meeting up with friends for tea and cake. Every week I will be checking all the main retailers for you, posting the latest sales/events in my blog along with other fab deals on baby/toddler essentials and other great stuff for all the family. Of course, although I’ll try to be as accurate as possible, retailers can change their pricing at any time. I’ll also be reviewing some of Jack’s toys and other lovely/fun things that you hopefully find useful.

How to Daddoo

howtodaddoo.com

My name is Danny or Daddoo as my wife affectionately dubbed me, after becoming a first time Dad at almost thirty to our beautiful daughter, Ayla and completing our family more recently with Daniel. Before you read this Dad blog there are a few things you should know about me — I’m NOT an expert in fatherhood; I am not a guru or a coach or a mentor. In fact, I’m an awkward man-child. I make jokes at inappropriate times and worse yet, laugh at them. Fatherhood has not altered this in me and I do and say things that boggle my wife’s mind. Rather than keep these details private (which I probably should!) I decided I’d throw them here in a blog. I was eager to chronicle my navigation through the complex and often confusing world of Fatherhood. […] ‘How to Daddoo’ is a clueless man-child’s humorous go-to-guide, a Dadding 101 and even a ‘What Not to Do’ when it comes to being a Dad, with loving undertones.

round the world with my family

roundtheworldwithmyfamily.com

We are a family of four from England, preparing to take a gap-year to travel round the world. […] The idea is that this blog will act as my way of planning the trip, leaving written evidence that we are serious about this for whenever we might have second thoughts. I am also hoping that I can use this blog as a good way of staying in contact with family and friends while we are travelling, and to share our adventures with as many people as possible. Finally, I want my kids to be able to look back in five or ten years time and be able to remember all of the adventures that currently lie ahead of us. I understand that taking a year away from school and leaving all of their friends behind will be a big deal, but I would like them to know that we are planning this trip because we genuinely believe that we will all benefit from a major change in the long-run.

My Crazy Brood

mycrazybrood.com

Raising a large family isn’t for the faint-hearted and I should know! I’m busy raising 5 children, 5 pets (a dog and 4 guinea pigs) and 1 husband and here is where I share all the craziness that raises a large family can bring. I’m Rachel, generally known as mum and the one who keeps the family ticking over whilst trying to keep myself sane and deal with five kids, one husband, one dog and 2 guinea pigs. I also have to deal with being a type 2 diabetic and suffering from anxiety and depression. Hubby is also known as Bob or Bobby. He comes from a large family himself with 4 brothers and 4 sisters and he would quite happily have more if I’d let him. Of course, he gets to escape off to work most days!

Emily Barroso

emilybarroso.com

Emily Barroso the Zimbabwean author of ‘After the Rains,’ and ‘Big Men’s Boots.’ She is trying to be a wife, mum, home-educator of three, author and editor all at the same time, with varying degrees of success. On a good day she manages to comb her hair, but usually just with her fingers as a brush (other than a paintbrush) can never be found. She has coined a new term for these multifarious endeavours: multifarceking. Having lived in the head of a young girl in the Rhodesia/Zimbabwe civil war, and dwelt, through Owen Evans, in the mountainous landscape of the early twentieth century, she is currently feeling very grown up, as spectral-like, she inhabits the bodies of a number of women in the present day during the writing of her her third novel, a contemporary satire. The epic task of the mountain of housework valiantly continues, but she keeps sliding down the scree and having to climb up all over again.

Hi, I’m Kathryn, I am a Yorkshire mum of two wild and noisy boys, Henry (4) and Leo (19 months.) I created this blog to document our REAL life and the daily challenges and triumphs regular mums like me face.

Pumpkinella baby

pumpkinella.com

In November 2013, my life changed beyond recognition. I became a mum, responsible for a wonderful little baby girl. She has inspired me to go beyond what I believed were my limits and see the world with new eyes. She forced me create more of an equal balance between my work life and family time so that after a hard day at work I would still have the energy and stamina to enjoy the company of my family at home. This blog is my special little project, taking a small but sure step toward building a respectable site that is a go-to for advice, and inspiration. Hopefully as time goes by I’ll show you just how I’ve made my little world a happier place and just maybe it might inspire you too. My blog primarily focuses on all things that put a smile on my face. This includes my love of shopping and spoiling my family. I will give reviews on the many amazing products that have gotten through the last 16 months with our family.

Whether we’re climbing trees, covering ourselves in paint or visiting a farm, I like to document as much of it as possible through my blog and social media. I’m interested in music, fashion, interiors, football and creative writing, but above all, spending time with Georgia, our dogs and of course our children, Edie and Arlo. My tales embody joy and the occasional woe, inspired by the cocktail of children, dogs, my wife and our lifestyle – a glimpse into a day in the life of a modern day dad.

Life With Mrs Lee

lifewithmrslee.com

Hi. I’m Harriet. Wife to Josh. And Mama to our two blue eyed babes, Bella (four) & Hugo (one). Together we live in a pretty little village in Sussex. We are currently renovating our first home and loving / hating the chaos in equal measures! I’m a total foodie with a love for grey + white interiors, fresh flowers and pretty much anything with stripes. I’m a keen baker & a passionate party planner. Any excuse for copious amounts of cake and gin, right? My favourite season is Autumn. And seeing those first leaves change colour really does make my heart very happy indeed. I started writing Life With Mrs Lee back in the Summer of 2015 as a sort of online diary for my daughter as I am way too unorganised for the traditional type scrapbooks. But since then the blog has evolved into so much more than that. As well as posts about the children, I also love to share some of our favourite recipes, updates on our home renovations and the odd style post too.

Little Fish

littlefishblog.com

Hi, my name is Rosie. Lovely to meet you! At Little Fish I share ideas for families and teachers, so that you can inspire your children to create, explore and imagine the world around them. You’ll find simple crafts, creative play, easy activities, book ideas and outdoor adventures. I’m especially inspired by the natural world around us. Creative projects are a fantastic way to inspire children’s curiosity and interest in the big wide world!

My May Sunshine

Hi I’m Louise and I thought I would tell you some things about me. I have a 10 year old daughter, 4 year old daughter and a wonderful husband. I have recently become a Independent Consultant for Neal’s Yard Remedies Organic. I started crafting back in 2007, when I decided to make my own wedding invitations and to make tiaras for myself and my bridesmaids and it’s that which really kick started my crafting. I started this blog in March 2010 and have loved writing about all sorts of different topics.

Raisie Bay

Raisie Bay is a family orientated lifestyle blog. I’m a busy mum of three young children. […] Dad is a musician, he likes playing guitar and recording music and holding open mike nights. I’m a disabled mum that loves to write. I’ve been here on Raisie Bay for 7 years now and have been nominated for a few blogging awards. I started off mostly blogging about my family but now it’s mostly a lifestyle blog, featuring a lot of my inner thoughts on health and mental health while I deal with my disability which appeared suddenly at the beginning of 2016. I am now mostly wheelchair bound but I’m trying not to let it get in my way. My current hobbies are crochet, papercraft and reading. I’m a big fan of audio books. My blog is about our family life. The things we love, the things we do, the things that make us, well, us!

Romanian Mum Blog

romanianmum.com

My name is Otilia and the name of the blog started because of my romanian provenience. I am 37 years old and have a license in Law. I married a yorkshire man called Adrian in 2006 and a couple of years later our daughters where born — Miss K born in 2009 and Miss A in 2012. I started blogging in 2010 and since then I made lots of friends and change my career forever. Now besides being a blogger, I am also offering my services as a Social Media Manager for companies. My life is nevertheless exciting and although I am working from home my career has developed so much since I started. I learn new things every day and although I am reaching 40s I am glad to say that I can keep up with the younger generation.

Single Mother Ahoy

singlemotherahoy.com

My name is Vicky; this blog is about my life with my daughter. Here you will find a mixture of lifestyle, parenting, self development and general ramblings. I work from home as a ghost blogger, copywriter and social media trainer. You can find blog posts on these topics on my business page, VickyCharles.com. I began this blog in 2012, after I posted some of my writing on Facebook and a few friends suggested I set up a blog. I blog about everything from mundane daily tasks, to crafts, to household tips, to politics, to “aww, look at my baby, isn’t she cute.” I also started #ArchiveDay on Twitter: every Saturday, bloggers tweet an old post with the #ArchiveDay tag, and RT other #ArchiveDay posts. The idea is to find new blogs to read, and new readers for your blog. If you have a blog and would like to join in, then please do so; the more the merrier. You don’t have to have old posts from years ago to join in; anything older than yesterday counts as “archive” in my book!

The Fairytale Mum

thefairytalemum.com

Leaky boobs, sleepless nights and multiple meltdowns (usually in public, often by me); parenthood certainly has its challenges. When my first son was born, it soon became clear that my journey on the mother-ship was going to have its own set of hiccups, and it took some time before I was comfortable to accept myself as ‘mum’. As a qualified teacher, I had secretly hoped that my prior experience of managing other people’s children would assist me in managing mine… err… not really… All the practical knowledge and hands-on experience in the world would never have prepared me for having children of my own. Hands up — whilst pregnant, I thought labour and birth marked the endpoint, little did I know back then that it was only just the beginning. Post natal depression, followed by secondary infertility and all manner of hideous anxieties haven’t helped, but as time has ticked by, the boys and I are finally on our way to living happily ever after. (I hope!)
