A year ago today, I posted the first entry to this blog: Here Be Dragons
And then I didn’t do anything about blogging until the end of July… So really, I only started blogging seven months ago. That’s when I set up a GMail address, joined Twitter and decided that I’d start documenting some of the activities I did actually do with my children, attempts at creating a Montessori-inspired environment and being Child-Led. At some point, picture books took over instead 😆
I was going to do a ‘blog’ post, on what I’ve learnt. But, fortunately for you, I haven’t! In summary, I’ve learnt that there are a lot of lovely people out there who work really hard creating interesting, creative and consistent content and who answer queries, chat and still manage to raise children, do other jobs, deal with disabilities, financial difficulties, grief and still blog and chat and help others.
Parent bloggers, you’re fantastic. Thank-you for inspiring, encouraging and supporting.
Happy Birthday, blog. You’ve been fun, here’s to the next year.
Child-Led Chaos 
Happy Birthday blog from me too! I may be a new frequenter here, but I’m so glad to have discovered you 🙂
Thank-you! That’s so kind of you to say, pretty much made my evening actually 🙂
“They say it’s your birthday, it’s my birthday too yeah (actually it’s not, my blog birthday isn’t until September). I’m glad it’s yer birthday, we’re gonna have a good time (let’s not forget it’s a school night though)”.
“Yes we’re going to a party, party (a party for a blog, bit weird isn’t it?)”.
“Birthday, I would like you to dance (dancing on a blog birthday, this is just getting weirder and weirder. Can I go home now?)”
Anyway I’m gonna stop there before I start doing some of my ‘dad dancing’. What I really wanted to say was ‘love your work and happy blog birthday. Let’s hope it’s the first of many’.
Thank-you very, very much. That is probably the best comment I’ve ever had. Brilliant 🙂
I’m glad to have run across your site, too, a few months ago. Looking forward to more great ideas from you this coming year!
Thank-you!
Happy Blog Birthday!!! I really need to check when mine is!
Love your book posts. I have a passion for children’s books especially but not the means to indulge that passion so I pop over here for a pee.
Thank you xxx
