Your Name:
Gemma Collins
Blog Name:
Sunshine On A Cloudy Day
What are the sexes and ages of your children?:
I have one son who is 3 years old.
What got you into parent blogging?:
I got into blogging back in September 2013 due to having always followed for years. I was recovering from surgery thinking I wanted to do something with a hobby of mine (writing!) so thought what better way to record my life and write it all down.
What is your top parenting tip to share with our readers? Can be on any topic for little ones :-) (under 8s):
Hmm a little bit of advice.. don’t be annoyed when things don’t go your way – unfortunately that is life! Consistency and perseverance is
key to get through :)
Can you share a parenting advice post with us from your blog too; your favourite one? Why do you like this post? Please include the link for us.:
I am going to be cheeky and give two as I have lived it from both sides as a working mummy and an unemployed mummy. These are my
favourite posts of advice as it is good to see someone who has had it from both views and read their experiences on a topic all mothers
debate, working or stay at home?
