Mums who blog

[EmED]

Also Supergolden, just wanted to say that the photography on your blog is beautiful! Are you a photographer? You should be if not! :)

[supergolden88]

Thanks - I am not a professional photographer just an enthusiastic amateur!

Your food always looks gorgeous Supergolden!

So this is very cheeky, but I was genuinely very surprised to find out yesterday that my blog had made the short list for an award. If anyone would consider taking a look and maybe voting that would be lovely! You may find another blog you know on the voting form too...

Just voted. Was I too late? Good luck!

By the way, think we met at Daisylet's Women in Business event a couple of months ago. Love your designs and the detailed effort you put into it. Best wishes, Obi

[supergolden88]

I voted too! Good luck. Thanks for voting for me on Bibs by the way (if you did) I am now a finalist!

[Browncoffee]

Supergolden88: I just looked at some of your blogs again and started craving coffee and cake! Awesome photos!

[Browncoffee]

By the way, how is everyone getting on with the blogging? I'm on one blog a month at the moment, and that seems the manageable pace for me right now.

I've just had my latest one on Imposter Syndrome - Are most successful leaders frauds published on a Coaching Directory. Here's link to the blog: http://www.objcoaching.com/most-successful-leaders-are-frauds-true-or-false/

Feedback always very appreciated! Any other updates?

Thank you to all those who have voted in the crafting awards (see my post on page 2 if you want to vote, there is still time, voting closes on 9/10th June, not sure which..)

@supergolden yes I did vote for you, pleased to hear that you are a finalist!

Do you know www.grenglish.co.uk she is an ed mummy and she will be presenting at a big bloggy thing soon, maybe you know already?!

[supergolden88]

I din't know that blog having a look now. I am going to Britmums Live and Food Blogger connect maybe will see her there?

[Mariamadeit]

Yes she is part of Brit mums I think...

[supergolden88]

I went to Food Blogger Connect conference over the weekend. Was sceptical about going and ticket was expensive but so glad I went. If any of you blog and want to take it further I really recommend attending something like this - I left full of drive, great tips and enthusiasm. Plus meeting other bloggers was so great.

PS: coffee competition on the blog now - really good coffee xx

[supergolden88]

Thank you ever so much if you voted for me at Britmums - I won! It all feels extremely surreal.

I have compiled a top 10 tips from Britmums Live conference on the blog - hope you find it useful (especially useful for those who are starting out)

[Mariamadeit]

Yay go you! I voted and have been chewing dh's ears off about your recipes...

[supergolden88]

Awww thank you! That's really lovely to hear.

[scareyt]

That's so cool! Your chocolate pancakes are a regular feature in our house now.

[supergolden88]

Wow - I never believe anyone actually makes the recipes :) that's wonderful x

[scareyt]

They are great and so easy to make. We always have them with raspberry jam & plain Greek yogurt - so yummy. (The baileys cupcakes look and sound spectacular but probably a bit too complicated for me - that might be one I just daydream about instead of actually make! ;-) )

[supergolden88]

They really aren't so very difficult. Save them for a rainy day!

[supergolden88]

Am trialling a new Delonghi multicooker on the blog - there's also a competition running right now to win one. Will be very interested to see how it works - especially during our long awaited kitchen refurb which may (or may not - can't believe it is!) be happening soon. Terrified of being without a stove :/
