Personal Blogs are . . . Personal

Personal Blogs are . . . Personal

If people misinterpret what you write, it’s usually the fault of the writer who has failed in their expression of their intent. You don’t go around blaming readers for misunderstanding, any more than you blame someone for having the audacity to get offended when you get your foot caught in your throat. I believe that. [...]

I Dare You

I Dare You

  Note: Bloggers Talk. I was chatting to Veronica about some of our frustrations in relation to bloggers undervaluing themselves this week and so she has also written about this topic here. And this note is to let you know we are in kahoots, not copying one another! The mistake people make about authenticity in [...]

An Open Letter to Kylie Gillies

An Open Letter to Kylie Gillies

I don’t watch morning television. But if I did, this morning I would have heard you pose this question: I don’t know why they have to blog about everything. Why can’t they just go outside and play with their kids? Which sounds innocuous enough. But really it’s a silencing technique, a judgemental silencing technique wrapped [...]

The #DPCON12 Come Down

The #DPCON12 Come Down

After last year’s conference I was decidedly deflated. It can be hard to hold on to your sense of self and identity when you are surrounded by so much awesome.

We Are Leaving the Hut!

{Image from here} By tomorrow I will be consuming an extreme amount of coffee in preparation for the Digital Parents Conference. Real coffee, I hope. I am looking forward to shopping for something to wear that is not maternity clothes. Although, just quietly why is that when you are not pregnant you always see awesome [...]

Blogging It

Blogging It

{Image via here} “It’s bad” my husband said “but I can’t remember what Riley’s first word was now” “Neither can I. But that’s what my blog is for” That was essentially the whole reason behind starting my blog was so that I would have somewhere to go and find out these things when my sleep [...]

The Anti-Clique Conference

The Anti-Clique Conference

{Image via here} In life cliques are natural. People make connections, some are stronger than others and groups of friends form. And it’s equally natural for people to be excluded from that group. It is what makes it special in the first place. But conferences should be the house of the anti-cliqueyness because it’s a [...]

  I’ve been contemplating what I’m writing in my speech for the Digital Parents Conference for My Blog, My Story. So far I have the bones of it. Which I have to say is largely thanks to Cat, who tweeted me what she would like to hear. I haven’t been working on it during the [...]

Why Bloggers Feel Excluded

At preschool this week: Riley (to random boy): Will you be my friend? Random boy: Yes! Riley (to me): See mummy, I have a bestest, best friend! I died a little inside from the cuteness. But me and the random boy’s mother sighed a little at the ease of it. At how simple it was. [...]
