Say hello to our newbies

[ElenMumsnetBloggers]

Hi bloggers,

You may have noticed we're growing in size . New bloggers are coming to us every day looking for a place in our community.

We'd like to give them a boost into our blogging network and help introduce them to some of you more established bloggers. We'd love new bloggers to be able to meet and greet the old, and we're excited by your joint blogging ventures where you're getting together to make a difference.

So we'll be introducing one new blogger a day in the third slot on our blog homepage and we're opening up this thread for newbies to the network to mingle and make merry with blogging pros. Welcome!

Ooh! Looking forward to meeting up with you all.

That's a great idea, I will check it out, but please do tweet to remind me about it when you can

Welcome Newbie bloggers
Introduce yourself?

[yummymummyreally]

Great idea! Welcome to all other newbies. I have only been here since November blogging, (though the blog has been an amusement to my family for a couple of years) and it's lovely to get some new readers and be challenged.

I love discovering new blogs through the MNB forum, and have found some crackers!

The welcome I have received so far has been warm, open and welcoming, and I am extremely grateful for that as it's quite nerve-racking being here with such brilliant established writers. I posted about my welcome here

So welcome all! Have fun!

I'd also like to welcome newbies . I'm a total newbie blogger, having started my blog in November (just published my 20th post!). I blog at Low Impact Parenting: Adventures in Greener Living about trying to raise my family green.

I've been a member of the network since late November and it's been a great way to find interesting blogs, get invaluable support and inspiration to keep blogging. The network members are very welcoming and there's a wealth of great writers willing to share their experiences.

I'm so excited to discover all the fab writers and blogs on this site and pick up inspiration and ideas.

My blog [[www.byannaelizabeth.com[[ offers daily posts about the things I love - from recipes to fashion, film reviews to product recommendations as well as my experience of being pregnant for the very first time, I'd love to know what you all think!

Thanks

Hey another new one over here (waves hello to everyone). Blogging as a side to our business and random things from art and crafts to home ed to cooking with kids and all else in between.

If I'm honest i don't get the blogging world at all and came to it by accident through the business. I am crap at marketing and networking which doesn't help my totally brilliant and unique business but hey ho God loves tryers. Find me at //www.littledoers.com

[OperaGirl]

Hi there, i'm new to blogging too and just joined MN today! I love reading blogs and decided to give it a go myself in Oct when I discovered we were pregnant for the first time. My blog is themcleanhalladventure.blogspot.com/ and is an honest account of our first pregnancy.

[UndercoverGranny]

How new do you have to be to be new?
I've been blogging for about a year, but only recently joined mumsnet bloggers.

I write about lots of stuff that interests me, it's pretty eclectic, but I love homemaking and I'm a Christian a mother of two kids (one ASD) just starting out on a 'real food' journey, so that should give you some idea.

It's www.katiejogracie.blogspot.com

[bottleinfrontofme]

Hi All,
I'm a married father of two, one with ASD and write the blog "Random Pearls of Wisdom" at www.forty-not-out.blogspot.com

Hope you like it.
Will try and visit your blogs sometime soon !

[yummymummyreally]

Welcome all! I am sooo bookmarking this thread so I can have a good sit down and read some of the new blogs this weekend. I work part time, as well as being a mum, and then writing, and my blog is my 'me' time, but I have to sqqquueezzzeee it into the week! So back soon, with lots of chatter. (Pleassse tell me to shut up when I talk too much!)

p.s. The 'new posts' thread each week in the Bloggers forum is another great place to find the most uptodate blogs from the bloggers here, and to post a link to your most recent blog. So don't forget to add your links there each time.

Hello! I am also a newbie-loving reading lots of new blogs :) My blog is nearlyeverythingbut.blogspot.com blogging about life as a single mummy to an ex-premature baby growing up fast and whatever else comes our way. Looking forward to getting a bit more blog-savvy (that won't be hard)

[OutrageousFlavourLikeFreesias]

I'm just shamelessly bookmarking my place on the thread so I can have a good rummage through all the lovely new blogs joining the network!

(My blog is here and has stuff about books, getting published, recipes, strange stuff in shops, films, domestic arguments, zombies...)

[Libran]

Hi all, I started my blog 'Bishopston Mum' just two months ago and am absolutely loving blogging. I would love to get my blog looking more professional and just keep improving it.

It is a blog about being a mum to two small children in Bristol. Please check it out: bishopstonmum.blogspot.com

Will be good to be in contact with other new bloggers, especially in the Bristol area :-)

Hi all,
I've been blogging for a while, but only just got going here, so thought I would say Hi. I am a mother of four boys, grandmother of two and live in SE England with my husband and two youngest. I love homemaking, cooking, arts & crafts, music, reading, walking.... am a Jamie At Home Party Consultant and love writing about it all and learning new things.
Here's my blog: The Family Haven

[saintlyjimjams]

Hello - I'm a newbie blogger (although have been on Mn regularly since 2002 so rather old in MN terms). The blog started as a thank you to a mystery mumsnetter who bought my eldest son, who is severely autistic, a very expensive communication aid. I hope through it she will be able to see what a difference it makes to him (it has already made an enormous difference).

I don't quite understand how the blogging network works yet, so forgive me if I say something stupid....
