Call For Posts For The BMB Carnival
















On Tuesday 16th March 2010 Baby Baby will be hosting the Best of the British Mummy (and Daddy) Bloggers Carnival.

I'll be spending the next ten days sticking on feathers and sewing on sequins to make my carnival costume. I'll also be buying in plenty of nibbles and cutting up limes for the margaritas.

All you need to do is let me have a link to your best post from the last month - on any subject -  either in the comments on this post, or by email to sandycalico [at] ymail [dot] com.

Please let me know if this is the first time you have submitted a post for a carnival. Please don't be shy, everyone is welcome to join in and there will be a special float at the front for carnival virgins!

Follow these links if you would like to find out more:

The current carnival at Working Mum

The deadline for post submissions is midnight on Sunday 14th March.

See you back here on the 16th, if not before...

    Here's my first effort! http://pregnancyfitnessinsurrey.com/pregnancy-and-postnatal-personal-training-why-bother.html
    It's about birth plans that go wrong & then you feel rubbish & think what was the point of 'doing everything right'...

    Hi Sandy,

    It's my first time contributing! I think this post would be of most interest to most people - all about babysitting themed picture books:

    Thanks for hosting, I know preparing these things is quite a lot of work!

    Wow it looks like it's going to be a wonderfully eclectic carnival: I haven't put one up for ages but thought this might make someone chuckle: http://tattieweasle.blogspot.com/2010/02/if-leader-of-free-world-can-do-it-why.html

    P.S. It's me again, Diney, - my post mentioned above on Dementia and called Role Reversal was my guest post on Flying Start Mag's 'Manda'! but the link to it is on my blog in the first paragraph of Manda's guest post called Boys will be Boys?

    Hope this is OK Sandy?

    Hi Sandy
    I've never done this before and totally nervous and unsure whether either of these posts are suitable. But *deep breath* here goes:

    Actually it's just one, the other one is not in the last month. x

    I hope I'm not too late and I only posted this yesterday does that count?
    I'm not sure if it's the right type of post for a carnival but no worries if it's not. I've not participated in one before.
    Here it is-
