The blog that launched a blog

Alpha Mummy regular Kieransmum has written in to let us know that she has launched her own blog.

It's rather unashamedly written in sub-Ruskin-esque purple prose but since your work has been what started me thinking and reflecting on the topic, I thought you might be momentarily diverted/amused/horrified by seeing what you had collectively inspired.

So this is just is by way of a thank-you, really. And do please keep adding content: it is a daily treat.

See her blog A Way Ahead here

Thanks for all the kind words about AM, Kieransmum. We're hoping to be the online equivalent to Helen and be the blog that launched a thousand blogs. Only 999 to go!

A rogue comma was to blame, amateur error!

Oh, how nice to see you surprisemum: your blog link doesn't seem to be working (although it might be my computer). Can you re-post it, as I'd like to have a look?

Funnily enough I'd always been too shy to post comments here, but I started a pregnancy blog instead. Love Alpha Mummy and have added Kierensmum to my list!

(oh, mine is http://diaryofasurprisemum.blogspot.com/, so that's only 998 to go.)

Thanks guys. Gipsy, I'm afraid to admit that I do it mainly via a strategic use of CBeebies Bedtime Hour!

Kieransmum, well done! I love it's celebration of motherhood and you will have all your memories beautifully logged in. I haven't even stuck my baby pictures in an album yet and the babies are 13 and 10 now. Hurray again for Kieransmum and Melissaria, I loved yours too.

Really good writing style though you seem to be too cohesive to have a toddler and a baby....would love to know how you do it!

Agreed - I just read a few posts & really enjoyed it!

Yay for Kierensmum, although I've no idea where she finds the time to blog! Look forward to reading it.
