Being a parent blogger is great – you can have a good moan about all the things that are wrong with your life and your kids. You can turn into comedy if you like, maybe enhance it a little bit to make it even funnier. Or you can get lots of sympathy and useful advice from other parents who have been there, done that and got the Tshirt.
But, let’s be honest, life with kids isn’t all bad, is it?
In fact a lot of the time it’s really freaking amazing! So it’s time to celebrate our kids and the amazing things they do – big and small. It’s time to be Loud ‘n’ Proud.
That’s why, along with some of my VERY FAVOURITE bloggers, 3 Children and It, Secrets of the Sandpit and Not My Year Off we’re launching Loud ‘n’ Proud – the weekly linky to share all those achievements that make you glow with pride.
We’ll take it in turns to host, starting with 3 Children and It, followed by yours truly, then Secrets of the Sandpit and, last but not least, Not My Year Off. The whole thing will kick off on Thursday 20th March and the linky will stay open until Sunday, to give everyone lots of time to link up.
We’d be really grateful if you could display the badge and comment on at least two or three other posts (but remember the more posts you comment on, the more comments you are likely to get back!).
We’ll be sharing on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ and using the hashtag #loudnproud It would be great if you could do the same.
Not sure what to link? I’m the queen of parental pride – this is the sort of thing I’ve shared in the past:
A workshop with the Royal Ballet
Becoming Scout of the year
Success at maths, engineering AND swimming!
Catching a really big fish
A successful parents’ evening
We’d love you to join us with your new posts (either written especially for the link or posted within the last week).
We can’t wait to read about how your children have made you really proud. Be Loud ‘n’ Proud with us!

Thanks, ladies! Really look forward to seeing you there! I’m excited about it! x
Don’t feel you have to join in every week, Mrs Tutey, just as and when you can would be fab. (I’m not even sure I’ll manage to join in every week, despite being the queen of blogging parental pride!).
