Pewari’s Prattle opens to a rather confused color scheme. Blue, green, orange and yellow and are just a bit much all on the same page. It’s cheerful, but more than a bit confusing to the eye.
The newest entries are a fairly interesting list of questions to answer. Such as: What are your current views of the United States?, If you were to die, would you go to heaven?, and the more obscure, Monkeys or Pirates? Our author answers all of them in an honest thoughtful and humorous style that is quite readable.
She has been blogging here since April of 2003, but has a long history of on line interaction, via IRC, starting in 1992. This is almost ancient history in the computer world! This site is mostly what I could call a Mommy blog, but with a liberal smattering of other interesting comments on a variety of subjects. Enough so to keep our interest even if we aren’t still changing diapers.
There are some clever blogging ideas here that include the aforementioned questions to answer, plus she blogs about ordinary things like the purchase of a new stroller (pushchair in the UK) enumerating all it’s finer points and does contests like the 26 things photo project. She wrote a very complete review of the latest Harry Potter movie (which was spot on by the way) and not only did she participated in last year’s NaNoWriMo novel writing month, she posted her chapters for her readers to peruse.
As an American, I enjoy reading blogs from people who live in other countries. This author did a good job of giving me a little taste of life in England. Although maybe someone could enlighten me about exactly what a “dummy” is, and why an infant would need to stop having them “cold turkey” I am baffled.
All in all, this is a cheerful and creative blog with enough variety to be interesting. I enjoyed my visit and might have a pop in now and then to see what’s happening with this creative Mommy in the UK.
