Saturday Spotlight - Q&A // Blogger Mumma

Q1: A bit about yourself and children?

Hi, My name is Andrea and I'am 24 years old. I'am also a mother to two boys Alfie (3 years) and Archie (7 1/2 months)

Q2: A bit about your blog?

My Blog is called Blogger Mumma and it's a parent and lifestyle blog with a hint of beauty thrown in.

Q3: When and why did you start blogging?

I started blogging at the end of 2013 and it was mainly due to when I was pregnant I wanted something to take away the boredom. Both pregnancies I struggled to find somewhere to go for all my pregnancy and baby info, I would buy the mother and baby magazines out there and find that half of the things they were talking about weren't relevant to me. So I had that extra encouragement to start my blog and so Blogger Mumma was born.

Q4: What do you like writing about? Maybe your top 5 favourite things to write about?

I love to write about make up ( however I don't write enough posts on it!) , anything baby related, Lifestyle and reviews. I love to read honest reviews, not ones the company fake and put up to get you to buy it, but from real mums who have used the product and give honest feedback.

Q5: Where do you get your inspiration for posts from?

My sons are my main inspirations. Also general day to day life has inspired me, weather it be a post or an Instagram picture.

Q6: What was your first blog post about?

Rainy Day Activities was my first blog post. I talked about Alfie's favourite actives to do for those wet and wintery days.

Q7: What do you find toughest about blogging?

I find that with two children under 4 I don't have a lot of free time and blogging can be delayed for hours or sometimes even days.

Q8: What do you look for in someone else's blog?

I like to read fun blogs, blogs full of pictures, reviews, and just a blog that is easy to read.

Q9: What advice would you give to your fellow bloggers?

Blog for yourself and don't let anyone grind you down. Forget about those view counts, turn them off! I found I was constantly looking at my blog and focusing on that tiny box telling me how many people have taken a look at my blog when I should of been focusing on writing for myself and not to get the most views.

Q10: Recommend three other blogs you're currently loving?

I really love this blog and that's not because I'm on it but because Gemma was my first blogging friend and she is now my best friend.
I also love Ellie Bear Babi and SilverSpoon London

Q11: What is your favourite thing about blogging?

My favourite thing has been meeting some amazing new people, who can relate to me and who I can call my friends.

Saturday Spotlight - Q&A // Mini Travellers

Q1: A bit about yourself and children?

I am Karen, a travel junky. I spend hours and hours searching the web for perfect holiday accommodation and tips for days out, hence the blog. I work 3.5 days a week (ish) in a stressful job, sit on a few boards as Trustee/Non Exec Director, look after my 3 girls under 4 and try and find time to be a wife to Matthew my gorgeous Hubby. Lily our eldest is 4 and her identical twin sisters Isobel and Eve turn 3 in a few weeks. There is 13 months between them and its been a roller coaster.

Saturday Spotlight - Q&A // The Melton House

Q1: A bit about yourself and children?

I'm Rachel married to Rob (Mr M) and have our little boy Baby M. Both Mr M & I work full time so our family time is precious, we try to make the most of our time together. Mr M & I met 6 years ago and married 3 years later. We had our little boy in Dec 2013. Baby M is such a curious little boy and determined. When he sets his mind to something he doesn't give up. He loves exploring. He has recently started nursery and I am hoping this will help develop his social skills.

Q2: A bit about your blog?

My blog is about our adventures as a family. It started as a record of my pregnancy and my experiences but now baby is here it's developed. As he's got older it's more about our life experiences as a family and our adventures.

Q3: When and why did you start blogging?

I started blogging Nov 2013 in the last month of my pregnany. I had been keeping a written record of my pregnancy and a photo journal so I thought I'd combine the 2 online via a blog.

Q4: What do you like writing about? Maybe your top 5 favourite things to write about?

I love writing about Baby M, he's my top topic. I also enjoy writing about our days out as a family - it will be great to look back over these with Baby M when he is older. I am currently training for a half marathon and the Great North Run so I enjoy writing about my running. I enjoy writing Baby M's monthly milestones posts, I can't believe how quickly time is going. Time with our immediate families doesn't happen as often as we'd like due to distance so I love taking photos and recording these events. The posts that you don't plan can be as great as the ones you do, baby m doing something funny or impromptu I love sharing

Q5: Where do you get your inspiration for posts from?

Day to day life. What we are experiencing at that time.

Q6: What was your first blog post about?

My pregnancy

Q7: What do you find toughest about blogging?

Fitting it in with life. I work full time and time I have with Baby M is precious so I blog when he's in bed

Q8: What do you look for in someone else's blog?

Easy to read. Informative. Personal experience & views. Sense of humour

Q9: What advice would you give to your fellow bloggers?

Write your way and about topics you have a passion for. Write when you can about something you care about rather than every day about something you don't

Q10: Recommend three other blogs you're currently loving?

I love The London Mum, My Family Fever and We're Going On An Adventure

Q11: What is your favourite thing about blogging?

I love the blogging community and meeting other bloggers. I love taking part in twitter chats. It great to hear other peoples's experiences on a certain topic. Everyone is a great support. I have my first proper blog event next year which is both exciting and nerve wrecking
