The Best of the Rest Carnival
The Best of the Rest Carnival
There are so many carnivals flying around these days in our amazing blogging community but there are always posts that somehow get lost in the shuffle. We bloggers have families and kitchens to clean in addition to getting out of the house at some point, so sometimes we miss a carnival deadline. Well, Cafe Bebe is here to help. I’m hosting a Best of the Rest Carnival for all of us bloggers who didn’t quite make the deadline. There are some brilliant posts that you just HAVE TO READ. Mind you…in no particular order…we don’t play favourites here at Cafe Bebe. We’re all equal, unless you want to pay me, then of course, you get top billing!
- An amazing post from The Mad House, Please Don’t Call Me Brave. I’m breathless after this one and I, for one, think that she is very brave indeed!
- Our noble Daddy Blogger, Sir Tim at Bringing Up Charlie offers up another very worthy cause with his post Please Help. With a small donation you can win a piece of F1 history! How cool!
- Sandy at Baby, Baby wades into the Current Affairs waters with her story about how she and Tess Daly are rather similar.
- Liz from Living with Kids always starts some brilliant debates in the mornings. We have thoughts about Having a Mummy Tummy Tuck (not something our Daddy bloggers have to worry about) and wonderings about Mary Poppins and Childcare Options. We can always use a good debate, can’t we?
- The lovely Hannah at Muddling Along Mummy questions “Why is it that the women have to find the work/life balance and not the men?” as she is returning to work and finding it difficult.
- Did you know that Pippa at A Mother’s Ramblings was saved by Fireman Sam. Ironically, I just watched a report on BBC East Midlands evening news educating us about the danger of chip pan fires! Goodness me! How current is Pippa??
- I’ve found an amazing blog, Marathon Mummy. Rachael has a hysterical conversation with her legs, her iPod, her bladder and her coccyx on her Valentines Day run in My Funny Valentine. You must read more about Rachael and why she’s running…truly moving.
- Emma at Me, The Man & The Baby shares with us her Top 10 Most Surreal Mummy Moments. I feel I have to hate her, however, for her number two. That or hire her services as a Personal Trainer! Number 10 is not bad either!
- Phenominal mum of 4 and 3/4 children, Amy at And 1 More Means Four shares with us the Things that Make her Happy. I think her final “thing” is most appropriate considering the noise that must be created in her household. Amy never ceases to amaze me!
- Tara at Sticky Fingers writes a gorgeous post entitled “My Girl” which is lovely and bittersweet. I hope my relationship with my daughter is similar when she gets older (minus the tantrums!).
- Sam at Mumazing has a very touching post about her brave little boy who suffers with eczema and why she’ll always have Fairy-soft hands . What a sweet little boy she has…he’ll warm your heart!
- Carly at Wives and Daughters is hosting a wee carnival herself with prizes involved! Get on over there to submit your entry and you may be going to The Ideal Home Show! She’s asking bloggers to share their most surreal parenting moments…surely you’ve got some!
- Catharine at Survive France was one of the first blogs I stumbled upon when looking for UK blogs about 9 months ago. She shares her daughter’s experience with Sex Education in French schools…something I don’t really look forward to educating my daughter about in a few years. (Beware…slighly shocking picture at the beginning of the post…but we’re all adults aren’t we?)
- Babyrambles author, Emily, brings us a shocking and vile fashion trend. I really don’t believe that The Body is Back and can assure you that I WILL NOT BE WEARING ONE! We’re not so sure about Tim at Bringing Up Charlie though!
- Tasha at WAHM-BAM ponders whether The Grass is Greener Over There and Do Routines and Holidays Go Together? I often wonder the same thing!
- And finally, Alison at Deer Baby has a dilema…Rabbit, her daughter’s precious comforter has gone AWOL! And when did YOU last see rabbit is something that every parent must live through! Deer Baby is a new blog for me…and what a find!
Phew! I think that makes 18 lovely bloggers for your reading pleasure today! They may have missed out on one carnival, but they’re most definitely THE BEST OF THE REST here at Cafe Bebe. I’m not even pointing you to any of my posts here…because I KNOW that since you’re here and reading, you’ll find something of mine that moves you to tweet or comment about. If you haven’t seen my Vlog posts yet, just click on the Category VLOG POSTS in the menu bar and you’ll see them all. Thanks for tuning in to this impromptu, emergency carnival showcasing some amazing bloggers. Come back soon…you never know when we’ll need another THE BEST OF THE REST Carnival. Now make sure you read the great posts above, comment and share the love.

Thank you so much for all your hard work – and I’m having a lovely time reading all these brilliant posts!
This is brilliant, thank you Karin for putting it together xxx
Thank you lovley for putting that together.. I will be reading with a cup of tea tonight
Dear Cafebebe (karin)
Thanks so much for putting this together today and for sweet comment. I shall definitely be perusing your blog too as well as all the others on here. There’s so many good ones.I could read all day.
Thanks for putting this together. There are some brilliant posts on here! x
Wow! Karin, you are a star for putting this together so quickly. Hats off to you x
Thanks very much Karin! How do you find the time? !
What a wonderful idea. Give me something to read this evening.
You rock Karin! What a nice idea to host the best of the rest, thanks for doing that. Sadly missed your deadline but really pleased lots of people got the chance to share. Mich x
Thanks Karin… and the cheque’s in the post! (Btw, when did I get the Knighthood? Quite like the handle, actually… Might start using it in real-life!)
Oh, and fyi I won’t be wearing a ‘body’ either…
What is a ‘body’ anyway? Best go to Babyrambles for a look.
… wish I hadn’t bothered!
By which I mean, of course, that the aforementioned item of clothing has hidden its no doubt manifold charms so perfectly that the sight of it on Emily’s blog held no attractions for me whatsoever… NOT that Emily’s blog wasn’t worth bothering to read, which it is, emphatically and unequivocally and without hesitation, regularly.
Glad I’ve cleared that up.
Brilliant idea and well done! x
Great list! Due to an email malfunction I missed out loads of great blog posts on the Alpha Mummy carnival so have linked to this one. Hurrah!
I love that T-shirt! Would make a great gift. Are you going to sell them. Fab carnival too, thank you.
I managed to miss both carnivals! How rubbish am I?
Great posts here – thanks for putting this together, you’re a star!
Well, there was a missing link and I found it! Sorry I didn’t get you this time. It’s my goal to pick up all the strays that don’t make it into a carnival. Watch this space!
Wish I had it…might have to go into production eh?
Thanks very much Jennifer…I think I’ll be the stray gatherer!
Your carnival was fab and I really appreciate the updated link. Very kind of you! 
Thanks Cat..I’m just full of em!
You are hysterical Sir Tim!
When can we expect your “Top Daddy Bloggers” Carnival?? I’m waiting…;)
Oh, but Tim, this could be a whole new avenue for you…I say go for it!
Well, I think your title is much deserved which is why I brandish it!
Huzzah!
I’ll try to catch The Best of The Rest on the next carnival date…watch this space and we’ll get you in!
Like you don’t have enough to do?!
I DON’T KNOW!!!
Thanks so much lovely…I just saw a “gap in the market”!
It was fun to put it together to tell you the truth…great reads. 
Aren’t there just…thanks so much for sending me your link as well…it’s fun to do something positive in the blogging world isn’t it?
I’m so pleased to have found your blog thanks to The Best of The Rest! Looking forward to reading more from you…and so glad that Rabbit was found safe and sound. I love that it’s called Rabbit as well…no “name”. My Little Miss doesn’t name anything yet.
Glad to hear it! Your post was amazing…it’s a shame it didn’t make it originally on Alpha Mummy but you’re there now along with a link to The Best of The Rest carnival.
It was good fun to put it together, really. Throwing it together in a few hours may just be the way to go. I got 18 posts in total from about 5 hours of time…much easier as I just left my post open and put the links in as and when. Easy peasy!
Glad to showcase some brilliant bloggers, yourself included! 
They were lovely posts weren’t they! I had such fun putting it together…
Glad to have FOUND you as well… 
Thank you for including me! I love being in this list – as I love every single other blog included in it!!
