Weekend Update // Web Design & Mummy Blogs

Jul

2012
For quite some time now, I've wanted to commission a blog layout for Good Golly Miss Holly but for one reason or another, I just haven't got around to it. The instant I found Katelyn Brooke Designs, I knew I had to book in my blog for a makeover. Take a look at the early inspiration board below, doesn't it look divine! I can't wait to see the finished product in early August.
I'm hoping the new look will inspire me to write a hell of a lot more creatively and even come up with a few new brilly blog topics. It seems like I've been in a rut lately with both reading and blogging which I just can't seem to kick. It may have something to do with trying to fit in at a new workplace but luckily I'll have plenty of time to schedule for blogging down the track.

Is anyone else a little overwhelmed by the mummy blogger craze currently riding the wave in Australia? I've heard it happened a few years ago in the US and is only just making it's way down here. It's left me wondering where I fit into this crazy world of blogging especially since I'm lacking in the title of mother and/or wife. I guess it doesn't help that I've decided to slightly remove focus from my extremely reliable book habit so excuse the mess while I try to figure out where I belong in the blogosphere.

P.S. I know I'm always raving about my favourite new website (first it was weheartit, then pinterest and finally bloglovin) but I have only just discovered an extremely entertaining website for those of us who enjoy a good session of online shopping. Wanelo is like walking into a store full of quirky products you never knew you needed until now and I've already built up a list of stuff I need to buy ASAP!

Q: What are your thoughts on the new blog design and/or mummy bloggers?
Disclaimer: I mean no respect to mothers or wives who blog, I simply use the term to easily describe the current trend in blogging.

I am a mother, but am definitely not a mummy blogger. It does seem to me that they have been the majority makeup of the Australian blogosphere for a while now. I subscribe to a couple, but have no interest in following any more.

BTW, like the new look!

I've only recently noticed the mummy bloggers since they've been discussed in the media up until then I was mostly following American Book Bloggers, so I was totally oblivious to it all.

Thankya! I seem to do my best "work" when I have lack of time on my hands.
Some of the content wise details are the best and especially middle part is the best for me and my knowledge.

Thanks, Ketan!
Wow, such a small world. I believe it was your blog that lead me to Kate's!
I think the mummy blogger thing has been big in Australia for quite awhile though I have to admit I never really looked into it until I had my daughter. I briefly considered doing a mummy blog but really didn't like a lot of the commercialisim surrounding it and the time expected to run one so held out and ended up doing a book blog instead hahaha!
