Summary

This episode features Helen Neale, the woman behind the popular blog and free reward charts website Kiddycharts.com.

She offers some advice on how to create your own hit blog and get the most traffic. She also gives us some tips on potty training and shares the biggest thing she's learned from her own parenting mistakes.

Ellie and the Helens discuss their favourite blogs and play a nonsensical new game, Blog or Dog? Then it's time to round things off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions.

For more from Helen, read her blog or download and order reward charts via the Kiddycharts.com store. Helen's always giving away free stuff too, so be sure to check out her competitions page. She's on twitter - @Kiddycharts. And if you're a fan, do vote for her in the Brilliance in Blogging Awards.

We're on Twitter too (@scummymummies) and Facebook. Please send your confessions to scummymummiespodcast@gmail.com and visit us at ScummyMummies.com. If you like the podcast, please tell your friends!

If you'd like to see us live, we're appearing at the Ivy House, Nunhead on Thursday 7 May. It's an Election Cabaret Night so instead of the usual t*t jokes, you can expect cutting-edge political satire! I.e. Lots of jokes about Nigel Farage being a t*t. Early bird price is £8.50 so get your tickets now from We Got Tickets.

Thank you for listening!
