Two years ago today (date wise) it was a Tuesday and Burton was spending a few hours with his Granma – only the second time he had ever spent time away from me at the age of 9 months.
It was an ordinary kind of day and for some reason after lunch I decided to start a blog! I had been thinking about doing so for a couple of weeks having seem a couple started up by other Mums (mainly Emma from Mummy Musings) and I thought it was something I could enjoy as a hobby and it would get my brain ticking over again!
My first post I have featured recently in a Show Off Show Case which was all about me being apart from Burton for a few hours from him on that Tuesday. To be fair most of my posts at the start where about my little baby and his exploits about our life together oh and his penguin!
Of course in the beginning I didn’t get many comments or visits to my blog. It takes time to get established and I did not like ‘pimping’ my posts more than once as I didn’t have the confidence in my blogging just yet. I did join in with The Gallery in May which definitely helped get me more visitors to Mummy Mishaps, introduced me to other blogs and got me more people to follow and be followed by on twitter who were other mums like me: people who I had things in common with. It was thanks to Emma from MeThe ManAndBaby and CrystalJigsaw who supported me and my blog in the first few weeks or it being started (thank you ladies).
Fast forward to now and I am really proud of my blog and its content. Of course I write about far more than just Burton now (although he does still feature a lot!) as there is another little person I can find post inspiration from!! Having two has been rewarding but ruddy knackering!!
I have made some great blogging friends along the way and I love how everyone on twitter and in the blogging community is so caring, supportive and lovely!!
Anyway, I just wanted to wish my blog a very Happy 2nd Blogaversary and to thank all of you who read my ramblings and take the time to comment – it means a lot so thank you – yes YOU 🙂
So help yourself to a slice of (virtual) cake!!

Awww lovely post and happy anniversary to mummy mishaps. It’s amazing, I bet you didn’t think when you sat down to start this blog, the friends you would meet, the opportunities you would have. And of course that another little person would come along. Your blog was one of the first I started reading. X
Thank you Katie
