Wow, March already! Hope you all enjoyed the extra day that came with the leap year! Here’s my March Bucket List which I’m linking to Twinderelmo’s Bucket List linky.

 

February?was exciting because, I ran my first?competition for a Letterbox Cake from Baker Days – the competition is now finished, but check out my review of their cakes, as they’re yummy and great for presents ? Review of Baker Days Letter Box Cake & Giveaway!!
My most viewed?posts in February:

• How to Make a Hey Duggee Cake
• Tongue-Tie nightmare
• Baker Days Cake Review
• #BehindTheLinky – Guest Post by Mum?Muddling Through

 

I also want to mention my post Why would you not vaccinate your baby??which I wrote in January. It has continued to see brilliant traffic and amazing comments. Given the recent publicity around Meningitis B and the short supply of its vaccine privately, it appears everyone has suddenly become more pro-vaccine!! I may choose to write about the Meningitis vaccine but at the moment, I feel so strongly, I need to finish the research I’m doing and make sure I’m happy with what I write… so I might write about it in March, but maybe not. There are several reasons: My daughter was born at the end of November 2014, and so missed out on the NHS jag. When the jag started being implemented H was 8 months old, still well under a year, and so I wish we’d stuck to our original plan to privately vaccinate her when she was a few months old. Instead, we believed there would be a proper catch up and didn’t.?Anyway, I know my vaccination post hit a chord with so many of you so?please keep sharing to raise awareness for the NHS Childhood Vaccination scheme as a very basic start – help heard immunity work to protect all our little ones!

 

Featured and guest posts:

I’ve been featured on Mum Muddling Through’s blog in her #CoolMumClub #MeetTheMembers guest post series! Check it out over on her blog. As Sarah will say I’ve been writing that post for a couple of months and kept re-writing, it was hard writing about myself and I just wasn’t happy!

And, just at the end of February, on Wicked Wednesdays on the fab Brummy Mummy of Two’s blog – check out my post here and her #WickedWednesdays linky here.
