Foodies100 Blog Editor
I am really excited to announce (ok, maybe that sounds a little grand!) that I am joining the new Foodies100 team today as the blog editor. Many of you may be aware or, or even part of, the highly successful Tots100 index, which is a monthly ranking for parent bloggers. Well now the same...
It’s true – I really am MAD!
On Friday I set off to London in the glorious sunshine for the MAD Blog Awards Ceremony. I certainly wasn’t expecting to bring back an award with me but I was looking forward to catching up with blogging buddies over a few drinks and a child-free night away in a hotel. As we arrived at...
Radio Debut
Despite my best attempts and excuses to try and back out, on Wednesday my lovely friend Kat and I headed off into Southampton to talk on the Katie Martin Show about reaching the finals in The MAD Blog Awards. Appearing in the newspaper was one thing, but talking on the radio really made me nervous. However,...
A MADs Carnival – Family Life and Most Inspiring Bloggers
As you may have noticed by my blatant pestering for votes, I am one of the finalists in the Best Food Blog category of the MAD Blog Awards. We are now halfway through the voting so it seems like a good time for a quick round up of posts from some of the finalists. The...

Monkey Bread and a Bundt Tin
Quite a while ago now I saw a recipe for Monkey Bread on The Pink Whisk and it looked so delicious I was desperate to try it. However, I didn’t have the special pan that Ruth used to make it in and I didn’t have a Bundt tin. I was wondering if I could fashion...
2010 in photos
What a busy year it was! We crafted, baked, cooked, camped, went fruit picking, went to weddings, had a holiday in Cyprus, played in the snow and much much more. Here’s a little photo round up of some of the things we did. Thanks for all your support and wonderful comments last year, and in...
Nutella and Legoland
Last week, Grace and I were very lucky to be invited to a Nutella breakfast briefing, along with some other lovely bloggers, at Legoland. Grace was beside herself with excitement as it was her first visit to Legoland. I was beside myself with excitement because I LOVE Nutella! Seriously, it is difficult to put into...
Big Bakeoff winner!
Last month I decided to enter English Mum’s Big Bakeoff with my Summer strawberry cupcakes. I watched, with my mouth watering, as the entries poured in. There were some truly wonderful looking cakes and cupcakes, and some brilliant children’s entries. A few weeks back, whilst I was away caring for my Stepmum, I was delighted...
CyberMummy 2010
It is not normal to get up at 5:45am on a Saturday morning but that is what I had to do to get ready to go to CyberMummy 2010! I was very lucky that I had my ticket bought for me by Fabulous Savings and Kat from Housewife Confidential offered me a lift, so I...
