Drum roll please….
…I got my first ever blog award! The very lovely Jen at Jen’s Rantings somehow found time in the midst of all the chaos having a newborn around the house brings, and passed on a ‘Lovely Blog Award’ to me!
According to a song I remember from the dim and distant days of primary school, ‘Love is something if you give it away’, I am going to pass it on to another blog sometime soon – but not just yet. I’m going to keep it for myself awhile first! Thanks Jen ![]()
P.S. As I type, a trailer for the new ‘Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’ film is on the TV. Big kid that I am, I can hardly contain myself! Even the Hubber with his weird cinema aversion won’t try to wriggle out of seeing that one, yipee!

About Claire
Hello! I’m Claire and welcome to MumUnplugged! I started this blog in 2008 following the birth of my son; I was bored on maternity leave from my job as a magazine editor, and besides feeling a pathological urge to just write something, I wanted to put my own experiences as a first time mum out there for others to share. I’m just a normal mum like any other – I have good days and bad days, days when I feel confident in my ability to raise this little human I created and others when I wonder why on earth I ever thought I could handle it! The most important thing I’ve learned from becoming a mum is that there’s nothing like advice from other mums who’ve been in your shoes – and I hope that by reading my experiences and those of others, visitors to MumUnplugged will find inspiration, advice and support for their journey through motherhood. Through my career in publishing I’ve also developed a passion for trend-spotting and tracking down the latest products so you’ll also find lots of news, reviews, fashion, topical features and much more. I really hope you enjoy the site – don’t forget to check out our forums (coming soon!) and keep your eyes peeled for great competitions and giveaways. If there’s anything you’d like to see on MumUnplugged then I’d love to hear from you – email mumunplugged@googlemail.com, follow me on Twitter, check out the Facebook page - or just leave me a comment!
