Blogger Love

I really should be writting BG's birthday weekend post but to be honest there is not a lot to say! We went to the Sealife Centre on her birthday, were she spent an enjoyable hour or so pointing at the fishes saying "whats that?" "whats that?" She loved the fishes but wasn't impressed by the Penguins or the Seals

We had a small tea party on the saturday and half the guests cancelled on me! and on the Sunday we had a family party at nana's. BG was suitably spoilt and a lovely time was had by all and that her birthday story.

So I thought I'd spread a little blogger love, which I like to do from time to time.

Firstly the Cumbria Flood Recovery Fund Auction is up and live so please please please go and bid on some items. There are some fantastic lots and all the  money goes to help those affected by the floods.  A big huge thanks and well done goes out to Kat at Bambino Goodies for all her hard work on the auction.

Its competition time over at Soph4Soph so pop over there and enter, the prizes are fab!

I have a new blog for you by Hormonal Mummy so go and give her some love

Also new on the block is Mother Knows Best, which is a collection of posts by parents, all contributions are welcome.

So now I've spread a little love its time for some blatent self promotion!

My Linen At Home webshop Duvet Day is now live so please take a look, there are some great products for christmas on there

I'm running a competiton over at New Mummy's Tips to win 1 of 6 lullaby CD's, please enter its not doing so well :(

And last and not least I am very proud to announce that in the New Year I will be writting a weekly blog for the online parenting magazine Mumstop !!! I'm so excited!! Watch this space for more news.

What A Week!

This week has definitely been a mixed week! Of course the most important thing that has happened this week is BG's crawling, since Tuesday she has picked up speed and is everywhere!

Unfortunalty all the chasing around and picking up my chunky monkey has meant I've out my back out!!

I'm in quite a lot of pain and the tablet given me by the doctors are not working so it looks like an expensive trip to the osteopath!

As I was in a lot of pain OH parents took BG out for the day yesterday, it was her first outing with them. It was also the first time had been at home for a long period of time without her, it was sooo weird, I keep thinking she was up stairs asleep!

It took a while to relax but it was really nice just to rest and read a book. After a couple of hours I really began to miss her and every time a heard a car outside I thought it was them! BG was a good girl and only screamed at them once!!

Hopefully they will take her out a bit more often, so me and OH can have a little break.

(Warning horn tooting and self promo coming up!!)

On Monday I launched my new blog called New Mummy's Tips !! It a tips, offers, discount, review, etc etc type blog. I found I was getting offered a lot of reviews but was concerned that loads of reviews on this blog would take away from this is really about ....ME!! Only joking its of course about me and BG! So pop over and have a look

The Great Toy Guide blog also launched on Monday, this blog features and advice on toys, activities and accessories for children aged 0 -8 years old. The review are done by a team of parent loggers which I am a part of of. Now I am just in the processes of testing my toys but there are some great reviews on there already so pop over have a good look.

This week I also joined the Mum's Test Panel over at the Living with Kids blog which is part of Kidstart

I also made it into Parentdish UK Mummy Bloggers Friday roundup

And last but not least the August Top 100 British Parent Blogs was annouched over at Who's The Mummy and New Mummy is now at 47! so I've moved up 24 places (Toot toot)

So in terms of blogging and BG's development its been a good week!

In terms of my back and finding a job its been a bad week!

Never mind it all starts again tomorrow!
