Someone out there knows what happened to Madeleine McCann. There's a new appeal for social networkers worldwide to post this video that shows what she would have looked like at age six. If you are a blogger, please help spread this message and post this video on your site. …
It’s tough promoting British mummy blogging. I had to go into London today for a Red Magazine photo shoot for a feature they are doing about my British Mummy Blogger network. Such hard work. There were six (!) people there to fawn over us — they did our make-up, fluffed our hair, dressed …
I have to admit to being a little flustered recently. All this talk around mumosphere about the British mum blogging community getting too competitive and too commercial. How the heck did this happen?
Money, or the misconception that money can be made from blogging, seems to be one of the drivers. Can I just clarify one thing: THERE IS NO REAL MONEY IN BLOGGING. Did you hear me? Unless you are Dooce, your blogging intake will not get near any tax threshold. I’ve been in the top 10 the past year and I’ve made barely enough to fuel my Cafe Nero coffee habit. I make 100x more as a marketing consultant (and it takes less time). There are occasional freebies, but really how useful is a coffee mug, a wall clock, or another naff plastic toy?

We’ve all had them: the playdate that goes horribly wrong. Mine was about a year ago … and it’s just now that I feel I can post about it. Thinking about it still makes me cringe, and it wasn’t even at my home! Emily (then 6) and her best friend Lola ambushed me one day …
The BMB Carnival is now hosted here.
Our little blogging carnival is now one! How quickly we have grown. The past 25 carnivals have featured more than 750 posts from over a hundred bloggers. Wow. That's a lot of whinging.
The official info is below. I've moved the carnival to A Modern Mother. Please note we're always looking for new hosts, email me at amodernmother (at) gmail (dot) com to sign up. Being inundated with 50 emails 24 hours before a carnival is quite an exhilerating experience one should do miss!
A carnival is a blogging event and "The Best of the British Mummy Bloggers Carnival" takes place every two weeks and highlights the best posts from the British mummy blogging community.
