Happy Mother's Day - hope it's not presumptuous of me as a relative newbie to start this thread but I took time off from being frivolous in the kitchen to ponder something a little deeper on Mother's Day - have you heard of The Girl Effect?

Not presumptious at all - happy mother's day to you too.

I have blogged this morning about how much youtube is my babysitter friend:

Happy Mother's Day - my little nod to my wonderful mum

and I've been awarded [[http://madebyyourstruly.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/beautiful-blogger-award/ The Beautiful Blogger Award! :)

Dillytante · 18/03/2012 12:10

Flubba, thanks for the award Blush

Crumbymummy, your cakes are lovely. Can I offer a tiny bit of constructive criticism though? I'm going to anyway! It may be worth looking up some photography tips on taking good photos. Food is notoriously difficult to photograph anyway. But I think your photos don't do justice to your creations. I say this not as someone who takes good photos myself but as the wife of a photographer who has to listen to lectures on lighting and colour balancing! If it would be useful I could ask dh if he knows of any good websites for tips. I only say this because your cakes are really beautiful you should definitely get them in the best light.

God, I hope I haven't offended you!

I seem to be posting Saturdays - just marking my place so I can go and have a read of your posts Smile

plantsitter · 18/03/2012 22:03

Happy Mother's Day! DH is a bit cynical and jealous about the whole thing.

trulymyrtle · 18/03/2012 22:58

I'm having the mother of all giveaways!

tvmum1976 · 19/03/2012 00:32

Happy Mothers' Day to all of you. Hope this topic isn't too controversial. I've written a new post called Why I'll Never Write About My Kids.

calmdowndear.wordpress.com/

Genuinely interested to know other peoples thoughts on the subject, especially if you do manage to blog successfully about your kids. Thanks!

Lifeofanexpatparent · 19/03/2012 09:02

I'm hosting a new link up on my blog. The series is called "Life of a Repeat Renter: Making a House a Home."

You don't have to be a renter to join in though. I'm doing it in the hopes that we can inspire each other a little (and hopefully on the cheap).

The topic today is: The Finer Details.

Lazing on a sunny afternoon :-)

Blogged a few times in the last week but didn't put it on here. Today's blog is a reflection on this time last year.

Happy Monday everyone - I have written a little about going through the back catalogue of other blogs when you find one that you like - do you do that too?

staranise · 19/03/2012 20:58

Lots of interesting posts! Dilly I would love some tips on taking better photos! I'm hopeless at photography and my rubbish camera doesn't help.

I've posted quickly about a fantastic family concert we went to yesterdaywith the London SYmphony Orchestra:
