Does anyone else do a SEN blog ?

[Violet5]

I know many people will not have either the desire/inclination to blog or the time so please feel free to ignore this thread if that's the case

I have 6 children, 2 with disabilities, one child has quadriplegic CP, extensive global brain damage and a life limiting illness. Another one of my children is on the ASD spectrum, has a specific speech and language disorder, GDD and Hypermobility.

Anyway i've just started a blog that's primarily about our family life involving having 2 children with SEN. Wondered if anyone else here blogs ?

Mine is shadesofvioletblog.wordpress.com/

If you do and wouldn't mind sharing yours then it would be great if you'd post it here or PM me the address as i'm really enjoying reading a couple of other disability/SEN related blogs i've come across recently. I enjoy the often shared experience aspect of them...and i'm a bit nosey too like hearing about equipment or services people have sourced/used.

Thanks

I blog about disability related stuff from a Care Workers point of view. I've joined the MumsNet network, people have been really really supportive because there's not a lot of us covering the subject!

I'm just off to the gym, will read yours when I get back

Love you blog purplepidjincatatem, have added it to my blog roll so i can revisit. Thanks for sharing, enjoy the gym

I'm back and off to read and possibly add another post

Violet, I love it! unfortunately i can't find a follow button

I live in the New Forest area, let me know when you're about for a coffee (have campervan, can bring coffee to you if it's easier) Lepe, Milford and Friar's Cliff beaches have promenades relatively level with the sand so they're pretty accessible

New post here

Hi- I'm off to check out your blog, I also enjoy SEN blogs! I write one about having an autistic daughter, called Strange & Beautiful.

I post a bit less these days as life just seems to get in the way- I admire people who can keep up the momentum! :)

Thank you oh my god, i would LOVE a camper van !
Thanks for the info too, would be good to catch a coffee together. Love the New Forest. I'm in Salisbury but unfortuantely i don't drive (have tried and failed) and have to relie on my husband to chauffer me
Will definately check out Milford and Friars Cliff, i was at Lepe just last Monday with my Mum and a couple of the kids !

Just read your new post, well said ! I tried to comment but blogger doesn't always seem to like Wordpress, it was telling me my credentials weren't my own ! Will try again later, sometimes it's just a bit tempremental.

Wordpress doesn't have a 'Follow Me' option unfortunately, closest thing it has is a 'subscribe to' link i've just added on the left hand side (i'm not on FB or Twitter)

londongirl4 sorry, i'd missed your post, just came across it and had a quick read of your blog.
I think it's lovely and v well/nicely written.
Will add it to my blog roll so i can re visit if that's ok

Violet, Salisbury's practically local IMO!! Let me know when you've got time for coffee see profile for pics of my vehicles (your boys in particular might be interested)

Ah thankyou very much , shall do both.
When i know i have a quiet time coming up i'll give you a shout and you could drop over for coffee and cake (i'm a stone's throw from the city center)
Just of for a quick nosey at your vehicles

p.s....where do i click to find profile pics, just had a quick look but i couldn't see where

Click on my user name ^^ then scroll down to "See purplepidjin's photos". I've turned off the HP namechange now, so all pics should be visible

Thanks, they're great, thought i was just being a bit of a technophobe, just had a nose love your rabbit too ! we have a black and white french lop called Easter (he was an easter present year's ago for the girls, before i had the boys as well). He's 11 now, getting on bless him.
Just of to make tea for the hungry hoardes

We have one too, my dd is deaf blog is alicesears.com

hatchypom's blog What a little cutie!!!

I have lovely DP making dinner - nice bit of trout and some potatoes from the pots on the patio!

I think my next blog will be less of the "SN" and more of the "life in general" - I'm off to Poland with half a dozen youngsters from the youth club I work on

That's a brilliant blog hatchypom added it to my blog roll, i find blogging quite cathartic too.

Meant to say thank you for sharing, will enjoy re visiting.

Thanks all

I really want to do a blog on the teenage years but I'm a technophobe and I don't know how to do it! Any advice?

Get a mate round, have a few glasses of wine, and play with one of the free sites! I use www.blogger.com, which seems to have a lot of technical problems which frustrate me, but their user interface is relatively simple to set up. Wordpress is another one that doesn't charge. Go to the website, register your blog name, and find a template you like. Then you just type whatever comes into your head
