Tuesday Treats – an extra turn!

love autumn leaf

Under normal circumstances, it would be the turn of Christine at Thinly Spread to share her Tuesday Treats today. But if you follow Christine’s blog at all you’ll know she has been a very busy lady organising lots of blogger support for Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day. Find out how you can get involved yourself here.

Christine’s hectic schedule means I’m taking an extra turn on the Tuesday Treats roundabout. It’s perhaps just as well, because I’ve read SO many good posts recently – this is already going to be a fairly epic collection – if I’d had to wait another fortnight for my turn to come around it would have ended up novel-length.

If you haven’t read a Tuesday Treats post before, it’s a collection of great posts from all around the blogsophere that the curators – myself, Chris, Becky at Baby Budgeting and Lizzie at Me and My Shadow – think deserve a little love. So please pop over and read one or two of the suggested posts, as well as leaving a link in the comments to anything you’ve read and enjoyed recently yourself. Hopefully there’s something to please everyone among this bunch… Continue reading

Tuesday Treats

I feel like I’m so behind on my blog reading, blog writing and blog commenting just now that I may never catch up… That said, there is time even in the busiest of weeks for Tuesday Treats – the weekly round up of top posts that I share with Chris from Thinly Spread, Becky at Baby Budgeting, and Lizzie at Me and my Shadow.

I’ve got my usual ramshackle selection for you below, and if you’ve enjoyed any other posts or articles recently, please pop a link in the comments. Continue reading

10 Things I Loved About BritMums Live

Howdy-doodle! It has been very quiet on here the last week or two, hasn’t it? That’s because we’ve been up in Scotland on holiday – blog post and photos to follow later in the week – but it’s also because I’ve been recovering from the fun that was BritMums Live 2013.

One central London venue, 550 bloggers, a smattering of celebs and several conference sessions that provided free wine on the tables… talk about a surefire recipe for success.

This was my second year at BritMums Live. Last year, as a bit of a blogging newbie, I found it all completely overwhelming but this year I paced myself a bit better and had a brilliant time. Rather than doing a minute-by-minute rundown, I thought I’d share my ten highlights. Continue reading

Tuesday Treats

A slightly shorter than usual Tuesday Treats from me this week, but I hope none the worse for that. If you’ve only just joined me, and don’t know what this is all about, it’s really very simple… Tuesday Treats is a weekly roundup of top posts, as chosen by me, Chris, Becky and Lizzie. We take it in turns to share with you the blogposts and articles that we’ve enjoyed reading recently.

So without further ado.

One day we will enjoy telling you all about our childhoods and I am sure that my stories about phones with cords and four television channels will make you shriek with laughter and incredulity.” I’ve only just discovered Emma and Isaac, and I loved this post about how childhood has changed.
