My First… Blog Series

My First... Feature

My First… Blog Series I thought it only fitting that the first post in My First… Feature should be written by me.  I’ve been writing consistently for a good few months now and I thought it about time that I start My First… Blog Series to enable me to diversify and allow a variety of… Read More

Well, today is my husband’s birthday!  Happy birthday A!  We visited Manchester last weekend to see Phoenix Nights Live and on our walk back to our hotel, I noticed this beautiful piece of street art.  It was actually A that suggested I take a photograph and use it on my blog!  So here it is!

Bloggers Weekend Away in Manchester!

by mentalparentals, in category Blogging, Lifestyle

For nearly 3 years, I have communicated with a handful of awesome ladies.  The main connection, and why we started talking on Twitter in the first instance, is that we all have children born within a few weeks of each other.  We started to tweet more and more regularly, and moved to Whatsapp around the… Read More

by mentalparentals, in category Blogging

I have been nominated by the lovely Lisa at Mumma Scribbles (thank you!) for a Liebster award this week.  In case you don’t know, this award is all about discovering new blogs and helping fellow (relatively unknown) bloggers with their readership.  As a fairly new (and now consistent) blogger, I know how much work it takes to… Read More

Jumping from Blogger to WordPress Self-Hosted

by mentalparentals, in category Blogging

On Friday, I bit the bullet and decided to move from Blogger to a Self-Hosted WordPress site.  It was something that I’d wanted to do for a while but I hadn’t the courage to do it! A couple of very lovely friends, Donna from What the Redhead Said and Mummy Muncher from Life With Munchers, talked me into jumping ship… Read More

Our Sunday Photo 11/01/2015

by mentalparentals, in category Blogging, Family

Our Sunday Photo this week is an old one.  The weather is so cold and blustery at the moment, I’ve been reminiscing about our holiday we had in June 2014 and wishing we were back there!  We had such a great time in Turkey, really enjoying our time as a family and spending a couple… Read More

Our Sunday Photo – 03/01/2015

by mentalparentals, in category Blogging, Family

My photo today was taken a couple of days ago.  I’d been up since O needed the toilet at 5:30am but he’d managed to go back to sleep.  I went downstairs after 45 minutes of tweeting trying to get back to sleep and started to blog.  O got up around 7:30am and came downstairs.  Taken… Read More

Happy New Year: Here’s to a Mental 2015

by mentalparentals, in category Blogging, Family

This is my 100th blog post at Mental Parentals.  Even though the blog has been live for over 12 months, I’ve only really started taking blogging seriously since August 2014.  I know that my writing has developed tenfold since the first few posts (of which you’ll have to look for as I’m not bringing them… Read More
