what is hey,mama?
Tell us about you. (Anything you want...name, where you're from, age, interests, likes/dislikes, etc.)
Hi! I’m Emily I live in a little house in a village in England with my two busy little boys and my lovely husband.
Err now I am stuck, this is a hard question; I normally just talk about my family?
I am 30 (eek!) and have been married for 6 years to my wonderful husband, Luke. My main hobby is photography; I always have my camera with me and drive the boys mad with my constant photo taking. I seriously photograph everything! I also enjoy practicing yoga regularly, I love Earl grey tea, baking, freshly washed bed sheets, the sound of a blackbird singing, the odd glass of red wine, stripy t-shirts and being brought flowers for no reason...I can’t stand smoked salmon, horror films, bad fake tan and standing on tiny metal cars (it’s a new level of pain!).
But I think the thing I love most is watching my boys playing little games together especially when they don’t know I am watching, they have very funny conversations (I know that sounds really cheesy but its true).

And you're a mama to...(yep, blab all you want about the adorable kiddos)
Yep a Mama to two gorgeous little boys, Harry is 3 and a half and Ollie is almost 2. They keep me very busy; it is nonstop action all day long but lots fun, plenty of scraped knees and a very dirty bath tub at the end of the day.
They are both beautiful although Harry tells me to say ‘handsome’ as they are boys! Both have big blue eyes and sparkly smiles, Harry has a thick head of brown hair and Ollie is all blonde curls and that is just where the differences begin. Harry is very sensitive, gentle with a passion for cars and bug hunting. Ollie is very boisterous, busy; he loves motorbikes and copying his big brother. I am very lucky as my boys get on really well, playing together and sharing the same room, and they miss each other when they are ever apart.

Alright so you're a blogging mama. Balancing mommyhood, time with your man, work, cooking, cleaning, blogging and still having time to shower everyday...how do you do it?
My boys (all 3 of them) are my priority, then the running of the house, then some me time which is mainly yoga and photography. I am a bit of a lazy blogger, no I mean an occasional blogger (that sounds far better), I tend to use my flickr site as a sort of mini blog as sharing pictures is my favourite part of blogging and as I take pictures everyday it is not too hard for me to tell my stories that way.
So how did you start blogging anyways?
I am not really sure how I started as when I did started blogging was not that popular in the UK. I think I was probably inspired my some awesome American bloggers like the Nie Nie Dialogues, The Vintage Pearl, Soule Mama but it was mainly a good way of keeping an on-line diary of my family’s adventures, especially so that our friends overseas could see what we are up to.

Tell us about your blog friends and how you met/got to know them. And if you've met some of your blog friends in person we'd LOVE to hear about that.
I have found some great women through blogging although if I am honest I have not always left comments but followed them from a far, as even with the safety of being behind a laptop I sometime feel a bit shy, like ‘why would anyone read my blog?’, which is why projects like Hey Mama are great. But I did find the wonderful Lindsay and company and after commenting on each other’s blogs we have become good friends. We both have boys of similar ages and I will email her to ask questions, especially if Lindsay has blogged about something she is going through with her boys and I am having a similar issue. We have now become friends on Face book which is really nice as we share things there that we might not share on our blogs.
Any words of advice to someone who's new to the blog scene and is looking to make friends? Maybe something you wish you knew when you started blogging.
In the UK there is a network called British Mummy Bloggers which is a great place to meet other mummy bloggers and share ideas etc.
Thank you for reading about me. If you fancy visiting my ‘occasional blog’ you can at Notes from Emily and I always up date my flickr site called ‘The Little Leaf’ with pictures and text.
