BritMums Carnival on SusanKMann

I’ve never done a BritMums Carnival or any carnival type posts for that matter so you’ll have to bear with me. What exactly is a carnival for those who don’t know, well I could be wrong but it’s a post which invites lots of other bloggers to send a link to the post they’d like to be included. The host will then type up a post including the links and a bit about them. Sometimes there is a theme, sometimes there isn’t. Try to visit your fellow carnival goers and leave them some comment love. How does that sound?
