During the Summer, I’ve been quietly working away, creating my brand new mommy blog – Mamma Kerr (www.mammakerr.com).  Here you will find parenting advice, beauty tips, health and fitness advice, household tips, frugal advice, green tips, reviews and recommendations, and much much more! 

This Barefoot Blogger blog will now feed into the content of my new Mamma Kerr blog.  Therefore, you can either visit me on this site as usual, or you can subscribe to Mamma Kerr and catch all the Barefoot news, as well as all the other posts.

But Tico Tango learns his lesson when greed finally gets the better of him and he takes on more than he can carry. His companions forgive him – but only on the condition that he dance the tango for them!

1449-08_04_04-image_1_lgParrot Tico Tango’s hilarious ways make this book a laugh-a-minute read while the colourful pictures and rhyming text will make this a firm favourite both at home and at school.

Happy New Year!

January 9, 2009 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged , , , ,

Hi everyone!

 

Happy New Year!  I hope, like me, you had a great holiday season.

 

What are your goals for 2009?

 

istock_000002807197smallOne of my main business goals this year is to blog more frequently.  Last year I started quite a few blogs with the best of intentions, but I’m afraid to say that I did not manage to keep them as up-to-date as I would have liked.  What with corporate job stresses, illness and family commitments, I was unable to find my ‘blogging groove’.  This year will be different.  I know that I need to plan and to focus, but I fully intend to get into my ‘blogging groove’ and update my blog portfolio on a very regular basis.

 

The advantages of achieving my blog goals include:

  • I will create more content on my sites to help SEO.
  • It will improve my communication with readers (old & new).
  • It will create more opportunities for comments and feedback from readers.
  • It will help to build relationships with readers & customers.
  • It will develop my writing skills.
  • I will create potential content for articles and eBooks.

 

Please, please feel free to contact me if you feel that I am not updating this blog as often as you think I should!!

 

Thanks for reading and come back real soon!!…
