The BritMums Blog

Time for the April Blog Talk already!  It doesn’t seem like a month since my last post, does it?  I hope you enjoy these few links that I’ve picked out for the “tech” side of blogging from other parent bloggers and a little further afield.   Don’t forget, if you see any great posts that you [...]

Her blog, Scribbling Mum, won awards, fans and oodles of traffic – plus offers of tv and radio appearances. So why the heck did Caroline Black give it all up?   Like many of us I’m sure, I didn’t set out to become a mummy blogger. I just wanted to see if I could write. [...]
