Another political one today about Cameron and sound bites.

It's me again!

Just posted a blog to coincide with Channel 4's One Born Every Minute - the theme is Fathers. OH wasn't present due to him away on tour and Boo being premature. It felt really weird writing my birth experience.

Look forward to hearing what you guys think!

Happy new year to one and all!

I had a total break from blogging, MN, email and twitter for the 12 days I was away...it started unintentionally but was so refreshing that I kept it up. But I've enjoyed catching up with the lastest blog posts and reacquainting myself with MN and t'internet Smile. Here's my first post of 2012

Petite hope the return to work is OK! I found it less painful than I expected (as I'd forgotten how much I liked my job while I was on maternity leave Blush). And I really hope you keep blogging, though I realise that sometimes somethings have to give when you're juggling work and parenthood!

MmeLindor happy belated birthday! Hope it was a good one Smile.

YourChildsLanguage love the blog! My 21 month old son is in the process of learning to talk and it's fascinating, and very fun. And I'm pregnant with no 2 so your blog's a good reminder that I should get talking to this little one too!

Happy New Year everyone!

I wasn't online much over the holidays - didn't even post a pic of my kids' Christmas presents on Facebook, will probably get drummed off for that.

Have been working on a new blog project, which is a jointly written blog with my 12 year old daughter so will post up a link when that's got a few more posts on it. In the meantime, here's my first post of 2012, which is all about 2011, plus it's an excuse to roll out the picture of me with Jedward.

Hello and Happy New Year all...I've been missing in action since my son was born at the end of October but have finally written up his birth story.

birth story

It wasn't a positive experience so worth avoiding if you're due any time soon! He's now sleeping in my arms and worth all the trouble though...will try to catch up with all your posts asap

MmeLindor. · 03/01/2012 16:49

I will get around to actually reading more blogs this year. I promise.

On the Welfare State again

will also do some more fluffy blog posts soon. A bit too much politics atm perhaps.

We don't allow advertising on the main talk boards so we're taking this down now.

FlamingoBingo · 03/01/2012 17:23

Well, after a lovely break, have done my first blog post of 2012, on How you use your power.

Hope you like it! Looking forward to reading all the other posts from this week so far Smile

PetiteRaleuse · 03/01/2012 17:27

Loved that one FB

I have ranted vaguely about people who resist medical advances and no, that's nothing to do with anything to do with childbirth, just inspired by a few comments I had from people in RL.

MmeLindor. · 03/01/2012 17:49

Here is FB's post on Frothers on government cuts to maternity services and how they will affect breastfeeding counselling.

ShacklefordLB · 03/01/2012 18:10

Happy New Year, fellow Bloggers. Thanks for your support in 2012.

Loving the Welly Woman blog.

My blog in 2012 hopes to start a campaign for improved emotional support for cancer patients in hospital. I need more readers, more followers and lots of good wishes to achieve this.

New post today, getting started on 2012!

Great post by FB on Frothers too

MmeLindor. · 03/01/2012 19:04

Yes, I agree Petite. FB is smoking today

Hello all

Sorry, been a bit quiet lately and not caught up with all your posts for a while. I'm crafted out for this month I think, so having a break from it and reading books! Am going to try and write some more thoughtful posts. I've started with Why I don't have a bucket list

overmydeadbody · 03/01/2012 21:38

Finally, another Astonishing Splashes of Colour post, this time all about Indigo.

Don't forget if you leave a comment between now and Monday 9th you will be entered into my blog giveaway!

evening all, and happy new year. :)

Lots of news, and thus I have lots of opinions...

Firstly I wrote briefly about

\link{http://attheheartoftheopinion.blogspot.com/2012/01/rip-stephen-lawrence-some-justice-at.html\Stephen Lawrence}

And in response to the body of a woman that has been found at Sandringham |I have asked the question:

\link{http://attheheartoftheopinion.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-are-some-missing-people-reported-on.html\why some missing people are reported on and not others?}

given there doesn't seem to be a name attached to the discovery of this poor woman's body - there haven't, afaik been any high profile missing women reported recently...

overmydeadbody · 03/01/2012 22:45

Have left you a commnet Butterfly, but not sure it will help Wink

butterflyexperience · 03/01/2012 22:57

yeh thanks OMDB!!

Those blog pictures are so beautiful.
I love the colour combinations.
We need to redo our house and I'm inspired to perhaps do somthing dramatic at the same time tranquil.
