Joined Mumsnet Bloggers

I have had a Mumsnet account since 2008 and generally just lurked in threads about teenagers, eduction and large families, occasionally posting. I've just applied, and been accepted as a Mumsnet blogger, no pressure there then. I've been browsing the Mumsnet bloggers network help pages to get some hints and tips about blogging. I've added a badge and now I need to join the review panel and find out how to get the widget.

New blog focus

I've changed my blog title and layout today as part of my blog refresh. Time moves on and my old profile is no longer upto date.

An occasional blog sharing my experiences as a mother of 4 teenagers, school governor and university administrator. Usually written at the kitchen table where I lurk all evening in the hope that one of my teenagers will talk to me when they come to raid the fridge.

 The children are no longer teenagers and spend very little time at home. I'm entering a new phase of my life as an empty nester.
