Post Comment Love 22-24 April 2016

April 22, 2016

Hello - welcome back to another week of Post Comment Love - and hasn't it been nice to see some sun this week? I'm never much of one for a coat, especially on my driving commute and this week I've managed without a cardy and have dug out some summer dresses, and it's been lovely. Long may it continue and hopefully we won't all be back in jumpers and scarves next week!

Thank you too, to everyone who got in touch about featuring in a future Newbie Showcase - it was lovely to hear from you. If you meant to email us and haven't got around to it yet, it's not too late - do it now! But remember your blog needs to be under a year old to qualify.

This weekend I'm looking forward to the London Marathon. The Blue start runners, including the wheelchairs and the elite runners, go straight past our front door so it's a busy morning for us cheering them on. Then usually once they've all gone past we head back indoors for a hearty breakfast, it really is quite exhausting!

Newbie Showcase: Mainy from Myrealfairy.com

Mainy started her blog - myrealfairy.com - at the start of this year and she blogs to relax and have a creative outlet, and sees her blog as a bit of "me"time. Her blog is a mix of family tales, book reviews and arts and crafts. And as you may have guessed most of her posts feature have a fairy or folklore element to them.

You can read more about Mainy, her blog and see her favourite posts over on Morgan's blog.

Post Comment Love and Newbie Showcase 15-17 April 2016

April 15, 2016

Welcome back to another week of #PoCoLo and I'm really not sure where this week has gone. Friday's seem to be rolling around quite quickly these days, which I guess is no bad thing!

This week I'm pleased to share another fab Newbie Showcase with you, but before we get to that I want to tell you about some changes Morgan and I have made to how we run the Newbie Showcase feature. We had a couple of weeks where it was getting a little hairy and we were more frazzled than we needed to be trying to get content for this feature. Lots of you helped out and suggested people and provided content at very short notice, but we felt it wasn't sustainable and definitely not good for our nerves.

The change we've made is that if you want to be featured in the Newbie Showcase section and your blog is less than a year old then we're more than happy to have you but we won't give you a date until we've received your info. It seems to be working well so far and we've already booked slots for the next few weeks, and Morgan and I are calmer about it too, so that's a good thing. Phew.

So if your blog is under a year old and you'd like to be featured in a future Newbie Showcase then please get in touch and drop us an email.

Newbie Showcase: Michaela from The Mummy Diaries

Hello I'm Michaela, and my blog is The Mummy Diaries. I have a little girl called Heidi who I could never imagine my life without now. I often wonder what I ever did with my time before I had her, then I remember sleep! lol.

I live in the North West of England and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I'm a full time working mum and work in Finance in the NHS. Not very exciting but hey ho it pays the bills.

I started my blog in February 2016 not knowing if I would be any good at it or if anyone would want to or actually read my posts. As you can probably tell from that I do suffer with lack of confidence. I hoped writing this blog would improve my confidence issue and it has because getting the lovely feedback I do and talking to the lovely people I have met has shown me I can do it.

I like to share what I've learnt since becoming a mum and if I can help anyone with what I have to write then I'm happy and have achieved what I set out to do.

Just to introduce myself a bit more here are five random facts about myself:

I Love listening to Justin Bieber, but who doesn't!
I have two younger brothers
I have three tattoos
I love reality TV and
I love to eat sprouts

My favourite posts are my pregnancy story of my daughter Heidi because I love to share my story and would tell anyone who would listen. My second favourite is the transition to toddler bed because again sometimes as a new mum you wonder when is the best time and it's always nice to hear other mum's experiences.

Post Comment Love 8-10 April 2016

April 8, 2016

Welcome to another week of #PoCoLo and what a week it's been. It's been a busy week for me and one where I've lost time all over the place, and so I'm glad to see Friday this week. The weather too has been odd, to say the least hasn't it.

It was great to see so many of you linking last week and I've loved reading our posts, so I hope you have plenty of fascinating posts this week to link up too.

Before we move on to this week's Newbie Showcase please get in touch if your blog is under a year old and you'd like to be featured in this spot. At the moment we have some gaps for next few weeks so we'll be especially keen to hear from you, either in the comments below, by email or just tweet us. We've made a small change to how this feature runs so it's likely that if you can get information to us you'll be featured fairly soon afterwards. If that's piqued your interest drop either Morgan or I an email.
