My blog is all about how I tackle the regular challenges of my family. It’s honest, sometimes funny, maybe a little challenging and definitely a different way of looking at life.
It’s inspired by my life (although I admit I keep some stuff private out of respect to friends/family), my friends and my clients. I like to be honest about my challenges and show both the challenge and how I resolve it, rather than some parenting coaches who prefer to show a more perfect image. So I’ve found it both cathartic for me to write and also a brilliant way for me to reach more Mums than I can 1to1.
I LOVE writing, and literally itch when I can’t blog/write a book.
Luckily a few other people like my writing style too, so I’m now an award winning blogger and best selling author (just thought I’d mention that!).
Check out the tabs across the top, for themes and series of blog posts. I also do the odd review and competition if the fancy or need for cash takes me (See my media pages or contact page).
What Is A Blog?
I get loads of readers who have never come across a blog before, so what is it and how does it work?
A blog is like a diary online. It’s not a book, which is more complete. It’s not a newsletter article, because that is more thought through. It’s short, pithy, and more off the cuff.
They have become really popular for people to share experiences, or find a community of people, or as a cathartic release or to find something more interesting to read than the latest news about celebrities.
How do you make sure you don’t miss anything?
- You can press the facebook button and like my page – I always announce new blog posts three times on twitter and once on my facebook page.
- Or next to the facebook button is a button with a dot and two curves. This means that you can subscribe to my blog. When you click on it you will get a choice. Most people use google reader to view their subscriptions http://www.google.com/reader/.
- Or just below that you can subscribe by email.
- Or some people buy my blog (I think it is £1.99 a month – I’m not sure as amazon set the price) which you can do by clicking on the kindle image a bit lower down or here (BTW to read something for the Kindle you don’t need a kindle – you can also read it on an ipad or smart phone or computer with a kindle reader app)
- Also, at the beginning of November 2011 my book will be available, which summarises some of my posts with extra goodies (99p on the Kindle, but you don’t need a kindle to read it)
- You can also add yourself to my newsletter. I don’t often send these out, but I will do every couple of months or so.
