Welcome to today's guest post as part of our Meet The Blogger series, today we have Sam. Please read all about her and get to know her, you will find links in the post of how to follow her and her adventures in blogging.



What is your blog called? My blog is called StressedMum

How long have you been blogging? I have been blogging for nearly a year - where has the time gone

What is your blog niche? Parenting - mainly pre-teen and lifestyle

Why do you blog? I blog, because I enjoy it, and because I love sharing stories and talking about various topics, also due to a total change in our lives this year I blog about chronic illness as well.

What made you start blogging? I used to love reading blogs and following a few, and thought I would love to have a go, even if no one read my blog, it would be memories for me and my family to look back on.

How long did you have your blog before you started to tell people that you had it?  I just used to mention it in conversations if something came up.  Some people just do not understand blogging and just do not get why I started blogging, and others are really supportive.

What is the funniest Google search people have used to find your blog? Older mums in school uniforms - I have no idea how this came up, but I was talking about school uniforms in a post

Who is your most famous Twitter follower? I do not think I have a famous twitter follower

Buffer or Hootsuite? Hootsuite

What is your best blogging achievement? It is bittersweet really, but gaining new followers due to my posts on ME/CFS

Have you ever had a fail with a blog post like not noticing a typo? Unfortunately, yes I have

Have you ever sent the wrong email to a PR, or misread it and sent the wrong reply? Not yet, but watch this space as I am sure it will happen one day

Where can the readers find you?  Readers can find me on my blog at www.stressedmum.co.uk, Twitter @stressedmum01, Facebook StressedMum or Instagram @stressedmum1

Where's the weirdest place you have blogged from?  I usually blog from home or in our studio, I do use Instagram when I am out and have posted from a variety of places, but none of them weird really.

Have you ever met any celebrities through your blog?  I haven't as of yet

Where do you see your blog in 1 years time?  Hopefully I will still be here, I am still learning as there is so much more to blogging than just writing a post and publishing it.  So am hoping I have learnt a lot more and am successful

Where do you see your blog in 10 years time?  I think it will change more to StressedNanny rather than StressedMum as my youngest is 12 and eldest 21.  I think it will be more family and lifestyle

What is the favourite blog post that you have ever written? My post about Being a Stepmum, I wrote it from the heart and got a very positive response
