Hello and Welcome!

This morning I woke up and despite it being a Sunday, I promptly jumped on my partner and sent him to the shop for the newspaper. You see, it’s not every day your blog is mentioned in print and I was a touch excited.

My excitement has, unfortunately, rubbed off on the children, who are alternately bouncing around me, or screeching at me, needing things and whining. Joy.

So!

Hello to any mothers wandering in from the EGuide liftout in the Sunday Tasmanian this morning. I was thrilled when Rebecca emailed me and let me know she was planning on doing an article on Mums who blog. In fact, I may have skipped around the house for the rest of the week.

Anyway, feel free to have a look around, to the right are the archives, for everything I’ve ever written (Warning: it’s a lot of writing), and you can also find my search form, if you’re hoping I’ve written about anything in particular. Up the top on the tabs is my about page and other bits and pieces.

And down the very bottom, is a comment form, where you can leave a comment and say hello!

There is also an orange button you can click on to Subscribe, or you can enter your email address into the form below it to have my posts delivered by email.

Click on the photo to enlarge the article so you can read it yourself (you may have to click again, after the photo comes up to maximise the image).

The other bloggers mentioned are Bad Mommy Moments, Dooce, Three Ring Circus, Life and Love in the Petri Dish, Julia {here be hippogriffs}, Misc Mum, Mommy is Moody and finally, A little pregnant.

Some of my favourite blogs are there!

(See? I’ve made it easy for you, linking everyone else.)

    Oh CONGRATS… very exciting. Wouldn’t it be nice if this kind of article could help bloggers become accepted as a mainstream activity! (Which in turn might help the cross-husband factor at time spent online!)

    Great job.

    I should also mention that the photo, once you enlarge it, is the actual size of the article. I don’t know why it’s important, but I keep looking at the photo of Amy and going ‘it’s HUGE!’
