I have been blogging since January and today have had over 1000 hits on my site whoppeee!! I am currently working on adding new pages but have not published them yet. However, I am torn about putting pictures of my children on here. So far the photos I have published of my girls have been chosen carefully and don’t often show their faces. Having looked at other Mummy blogs, I love the ones that are full of photos and have seen several which have monthly pictures of their little ones. I would love to do that, but am unsure due to the fact you have no control over who sees them and what they do with them. I am more than happy for other like minded Mummy’s to see pictures of my family. I take millions of pictures and love showing off my gorgeous family, but….its the weirdos out there I do not want seeing my children.What are your views??? Is there anything you can do to make sure that photos stay in your blog and don’t end up in google image search etc. Please help, I would love to see others comments.

But then again I don't put up pics of me either as I use a pseudonym. But I think the final call is yours. You have to weigh up who reads it and if it is ok if they see your family. Great blogs by the way. And how did you manage over 1000 hits? I am definitely not there yet!

RE: pics, I have the same concerns but do it anyway. You are making me think again though 🙁

I did just do a pre-review for Bum Genius (need to do the full review sometime today) and have Born Free stuff sitting here waiting to be reviewed too.
I am still hoping to get a Cybermummy Sponsor but no luck as of yet.
I love how pretty you've made your blog look.
Oh and finally, I got the monthly photos idea from an American triplets website:

Bye for now, Liska x

I think it will be good! I am loving the pyjammy blog. In fact, it was yours and her blogs that I had been looking at and enjoying before I wrote this post x
