MumsRock in the press

Alphamummy Timesonline

It had been a while seen we courted any controversy and then we had a bowl of soup on a cold day with a friend and started talking about the S word. The next thing we knew we were sending our thoughts over to Jen at AM and 50 comments later, another storm was brewing.

White House Correspondent Weekend Insider

Following our thrilling trip to the Downing Tweet Christmas Party we discovered that a wee video had been posted on this rather clever Politico's website in the States about it. One of the featured twitterati is MumsRock's very own Gigi who appears just before X Factor's Brian Friedman!

The Independent

Just one week shy of our first anniversary we're super-delighted with the news that we've hit the big time.

In last Friday's groovy Independent came the news that MumsRock has made it into their countdown of The top Fifty Websites and Blogs for Parents.

We've always said the Indie had extremely good taste. And it seems we were right :)

The Sun Online

As MumsRock geared up for it's very first tweet-a-thon (in aid of the fab Million Mums Campaign) our kind friends at the Sun helped out by spreading the word. The Million Mums Tweet-a-thon was launched in the best possible red-top taste.

The Guardian

When the Guardian launched the 10:10 initiative this year we were pleased as punch to throw our hats into the ring. Reduce our carbon footprint in 2010 by ten percent. Done! And how chuffed were we, when we saw they'd given us a mention in their follow-up article too. Now turn that light off and go share a bath!

That Liz Jones - she's a one. And when she indulged in a spot of mummy-baiting we knew we should resist. But we couldn't. Our polite retort entitled 'Will someone tell Liz Jones to shut up' was picked up on by our pals at Alphamummy and ended up being our most popular post for the next few weeks. Seems we weren't alone in our sentiments.

The Sun Online

Word reached our favourite tabloid this summer of our never-ending (we hope anyway) search for the ultimate Dilf. Our girl on the job filled them in. The search continues...

For a change this month we were delighted to oblige our lovely alphamates at the Times with a piece penned by one of our dads (who rock).

Balancing redundancy with chores (and a harridan of a wife, it seems) has clearly not left this writer without the all-important sense of humour!

Is it just us or has Lego been popping up in unexpected places of late? And no we don't mean down the back of next door's lazyboy or in rhododenrons. From our extensive research (watching late-night telly over a glass or two of wine) we were led to a very sinister and Lego-shaped conclusion.
