My favourite post from last week who can grab the badge above if they want was Why go back to work by Mum In Brum. It’s nice to read a post on going back to work after having a baby that is positive. I really struggled with it this time but Natalie sounds like its the right thing for her and her family and I wish her luck. 

**************************

We previously changed it to make sure everyone got at least one visit and comment other than mine and Stevie’s ones, by saying that you should comment on the blog post before yours. This we are keeping, to try and keep things fair.

Please remember though, that even if you don’t get many visits or comments from people through Pick ‘n Mix click throughs, we do retweet you which helps to get your blogs out there to others. My Twitter followers are over 6000 at the moment and joined together with Stevie’s you will be retweeted to over 18000, and if you get chosen as our favourite blog from that week you get a shout out on the next week’s post including a follow link.

ALSO another change, some of you may have heard/noticed that Stumbleupon is becoming really popular with bloggers because of how many site views it can potentially provide. Each week Stevie and I will be stumbling half each of your posts that you link up as well, so that’s even more exposure for your blog. Let me know if you get a lot of hits from it each week afterwards 🙂

The actual guidelines for the linky are the same as before (for now):

• Add our badge to your post (ask for help if you need it, we never mind)

• Add your link or links (a max of two please) to the Inlinkz below

• Please comment on one of each of the host posts

• Comment on the post before yours, and as many other posts as you have the time to visit.

• Use the #PicknMix on social media and when commenting so that others know you have a Pick ‘n’ Mix Fridays post for them to return the favour and read.

• Feel free to tag us in your post tweet @MummyandMonkeys and @stevie_couch for a retweet, again use the #PicknMix.
