Your Name:
Lisa
Blog Name:
Hollybobbs
What are the sexes and ages of your children?:
A girl, Little H, aged 2 years old and a little boy, Baby J aged 9 months old
What got you into parent blogging?:
I came across blogging when I was a member of a pregnancy forum and once I discovered twitter and the community I was hooked! I love being
able to record my children’s every day activities and follow other parents’ journeys as we all go through the experience together.
What is your top parenting tip to share with our readers? Can be on any topic for little ones :-):
Try and find time for you and try not to compare yourself or your children to others. There is so much pressure and ‘advice’ out there that you can often feel overwhelmed and like you can never measure up. At the end of the day, if your children are happy then that is what matters, whichever journey you take to get there.

Katie at Mummy, Daddy & Me Makes Three has to be my favourite parent blog. She writes from the heart and her posts are so full of love to her little girls sometimes they can bring tears to your eyes. She also takes amazing photos! Http://www.mummydaddyme.co.uk

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!
