It doesn’t rain, but it pours.
So April arrived and promptly showered me with a crapload of
erm, stuff, to keep me even busier and more distracted than usual. Bad pun totally
intended.
That’s my excuse for the delay in publishing the April Digital
Parents Carnival for posts published in March.
But better late than never, as they say. And here I must say a
huge thank you to all the lovely bloggers who linked up to the carnival by
sharing their favourite posts from March. Even better, not one of them abused
me for being slack.
So please take a moment to read them and leave some comment love.
Go on! You know you want to …

Blogs and Sponsorships
I wrote this post leading up to #DPCon12 in Melbourne. I had a sponsor in 2011 for 4 months. In 2012 no luck (yet) but I included here two very different responses to my requests.

Six Exceptionally Good Reason Why You Shouldn't Wax Your Lady-Mo in Frontof Kids
Description: On noticing, with horror, that your face has taken on the
appearance of a fuzzy peach you will feel that natural urge to whip out

out by the roots.
But, take heed, here are my top six reasons why you should not wax your
lady-mo in front of your kids!!

It's hard to deny
you're getting older when you finally have to get glasses. And then someone
tells you you look like Buddy Holly.

The Big 3-0 , Home Truths and All That Jazz
The age of 30 has something ominous associated with it. People avoid the subject like the plague, and don’t be too surprised if you get a dead panned stare when you ask your bestie what they’re planning to do for their 30th. This is a serious faux pas particularly in the land of oestrogen … seriously!
