Your Name:
Vicki
Blog Name:
What are the sexes and ages of your children?:
I have a little girl and she is 1 year old.
What got you into parent blogging?:
I always read blogs of all varieties over the last few years. I always liked writing and thought I’d give it a go. I never really thought anyone would take any notice of anything I wrote but I have loved how supportive people are and it has given me a lovely new community of like-minded people to interact with.
What is your top parenting tip to share with our readers? Can be on any topic for little ones :-) (under 8s):
Parent the way that suits you and your family and that you think is best. What works for one may not work for another. Listen to yourself, you’ll often find you know just what to do.
Can you share a parenting advice post with us from your blog too; your favourite one? Why do you like this post? Please include the link for us.:
http://wp.me/s49jrU-weaning This is my fave as i think it has a few good pointers but is not telling anyone to do as I say, it’s merely a guide and I reinforce that parents should do what they think is best for them and their little one.
Who’s your favourite parent blogger at the moment and why? Please include a link to their blog home page.:
Donna Wishart – Redheadbabyled – her blog is filled with little gems of recipes, reviews and all round great posts. She is such a lovely lady too. http://redheadbabyled.com/
Helen
Helen is a mum to two, social media consultant, and website editor; and this site is (we think) the only Social Enterprise parenting magazine! Since giving up being a business analyst when juggling travel, work and kids proved too complicated, she founded KiddyCharts so she could be with her kids, and use those grey cells at the same time. KiddyCharts has reach of over 1.1million across social and the site. The blog works with big family brands (including travel) to help promote their services, as well as offering free resources to parents of kids under 10. It gives 51%+ profits to Reverence for Life, who fund a number of important initiatives in Africa, including bringing running water and basic equipment to a school in Tanzania. Helen has worked as a digital marketing consultant (IDM qualified) with various organisations, including Channel Mum, Truprint, Talk to Mums, and Micro Scooters. She loves to be creative in the brand campaigns she works on. Get in touch TODAY!
