Baby Genie Blog: Seeing as there aren’t any magic formulas, secrets to success, or lamps we can rub to get the answers to all parenting related matters, I decided to document my life as a busy to do list obsessed mum – as well as wife to my soul mate and hilarious husband, plus owner of a small but blossoming PR company.

The Bump Wear Project Blog: The Bump Wear Project was launched in 2009 by it’s founder, who was 31 weeks pregnant at the time. Maternity clothes shopping had been an horrific experience for her.

There are some Golden Rules which we believe if followed can help you look and feel great.

Hot Cross Mum Blog: I am two parts mum, one part writer. I hung up my professional boots in March 2009 to take up my new post as a ’Stay At Home Mum’. Let’s just say that life has been very busy ever since.
Notes From Home Blog: I’m Ella. I’m a mother to four children, Harry, 9, William, 7 , Ben, 4 and Edward, 2. I love my life but there is way too much laundry. After Second Son was born, and probably a bit while I was pregnant with him, I suffered from severe post-partum depression. I avoided deliberately crashing my car into a tree and now I’m a bit better, better enough to have had another two children anyway, without everyone thinking I should be locked up.
Adventures of an English Mum Blog: My name is Emma and I am a single Mum to a hugely fabulous 7 year old. I work in a crazy busy HR department mainly in recruitment. I adore shoes of any kind especially ridiculously expensive and high heels that I can hardly walk in. My other passions in life, apart from shoes, are travelling and socialising.

Mainly writing about being a mummy and all that comes with it but may occasionally mention my on-going house renovations and what I’m growing in my greenhouse, as well as doing the odd review.
About the Boys Blog: I love to find classic, stylish and affordable clothes for children, dip my toe into lifestyle & occasionally I mention myself and my family too. I am told I have ideas above my station, perhaps I do. As a lifelong admirer of Ralph Lauren (and Tods shoes & handbags – a different story) I was continually frustrated by the lack of classic affordable clothing for boys on the high street. After the birth of my first son and having a lot less cash when the twins came along I was determined to find a way to buy all these gorgeous clothes without paying the earth for them.
Tales from the Village Blog: I’m Rachael. I live in a tiny village (population 706) in north Buckinghamshire, England with my husband K and four children of 10, 8, 6 and 3. I was brought up in Scotland, as was K. He’s lost his accent, I haven’t.

The Diary of a Frugal Family Blog: I am a working mum of two beautiful children aged 8 and 5. Not long ago I realised that we needed to sort out our spending habits and that if both my husband and I were both going to work full time, we needed to make sure that the time we spend at home with the kids was quality time (a cliche, but true). Now we are learning to live a more frugal life and spending more time together as a family….
Curly and Candid Blog: Curly & Candid is a bit of a mixed bag. Primarily I set it up as a platform to house my guest blogs and articles, so they could be easily viewed and referred to. Very quickly that got boring! Since then it has become much more, with personal posts about my family, my opinions (God help you all), debates, product, service and business reviews, pictures and much more!…
