As a blogger and a mum - though I've never put the two words side by side and called myself a"mummy blogger" - I asked myself this week just how influential are "mummy bloggers"?Can mummy bloggers influence the prams other mums will purchase, the shops they will support, the food they will eat?We...

Yes I think that a lot of mothers would turn to the internet for advice instead of asking friends and family. Unfortunately we have created a world where it is not okay to cope when it comes to our children. I know that many mothers "google" problems concerning them before they will opening speak about it.

Mummy bloggers are definitely listened too - "Motrin Moms" in the US is the perfect example

Absolutely Melissa and Kirsty. Wrote about the Motrin issue on our blog last year. I found it fascinating. Guess as WOM is very powerful both in business and personal interactions same will apply for social networking and blogging in Friend-Of_Friend recommendations (FOF).

What is the "right" age to allow your child a sleep over at a friends house?This is the question I asked myself last week when my six year old asked me, once again, when she would be allowed to have sleepovers at her school friends houses."Will it be when I'm seven Mum?" she said munching on her...

Great article!! As a former Nanny/babysitter I never really gave this much thought as I've always been invited to either share in family meals (even if it's just chicken nuggets with the kids) or to 'help myself'.

If I had kids I would definitely let the babysitter know they could help themselves.

However, that being said, I don't think it's a bad idea for a baby sitter to bring their own meals or snacks either. I wish I had thought of doing that myself!... Read More

At the very least I think it's a great idea for the 'first day' with a new family. Just my 2 cents worth.

As a babysitter I always make sure that I have either eaten dinner or bring dinner with me as I think that this is the most professional thing to do. I don't think that it is unreasonable to be able to make a cuppa or two to keep me awake on the job though. Luckily most families I have worked for have always told me to help myself.

So true Kirsty and Melissa about many babysitters and parents not giving it much thought but in time (a bit like how in offices the issue of who - staff or management -actually pays for the tea/ coffee / biscuits in the staff kitchen often causes a lot of stife and discussions at HR meetings!) it can be an issue that ends up annoying an otherwise ...

Fantastic response on our Babysitters and Nannies entering the Nicola Cerini Competition but not so good response from our Facebook Fan :( Which means two things. (1) You are all an extraordinary shy bunch or you're just too busy (2) Those of you who do post on our forum have a really fantastic chance (speaking odds wise!) of winning the Nicola Cerini satchel or pouch!! Get posting fans :-)
