A Review of MummifiedTimesFive Blog

Mummified Times Five.net is not about the contents of an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus. I admit, when I see “mummified” I do think mummy first thing (I’m an American, after all!). I forget that “mummy” is the word for “mommy” in the UK and Australia!

Mummified Times Five.net is a classic mommy blog. It’s even colored with bright pinks and yellows! I actually love the bright colors and the perky design. Reminds me of Johnson’s baby oil bottles, lol. The blog’s author, Tina, lives with her husband and brood in NSW Australia. Fascinating. I love Australia and hope to visit it someday.

Tina’s blog is outstandingly organized. Buttons and badges are minimal, colorful, and aligned neatly in smooth columns. Niiiiice. Her About Me page is short but sweet. Her posts are short and sweet, too. Either she is a master at short posts, or she squeezes in what she can between diaper changes and bottle runs. I had four little ones running around not too long ago (they are older now), and some of the posts brought back sweet memories. I liked the freezing the milk tip, too; didn’t know milk could be frozen. There’s more to the blog than handy household tips, however. Like the post titled, If I Get Sent…

….one more of those stupid emails that have you looking closely on the screen for something, or doing a silly maze, or listening for something and then a scary face pops up on the screen and screams, somebody is going to pay!!! lol. I’m sitting on the lounge with the laptop on my lap (duh! It’s a LAPtop) I received an email from a friend saying ‘listen closely’. I don’t have the speakers up too loud because the baby is sleeping so I put my my face closer to the screen to hear it better and of course, the scary woman pops up screaming. …I nearly dropped my laptop!

LOL! Having a laptop set with low speakers and having received such emails, I could sympathize completely. I get mad, but Tina makes her anger seem so funny!

Mummified Times Five.net has some great things about it, but as always, I have a few suggestions.

Firstly, consider enlarging the font for the posts. And that would include the title for each post. It’s just a suggestion– not a crucial one– but the posts seem short overall, and the blog’s theme has a narrow column for posts. Enlarging the fonts would give a little visual boost to the posts, where the emphasis truly belongs.

I would also love to read longer and more frequent posts! I really enjoyed reading the posts (my daughter always slept with her bum in the air, too! And she loved “dummies” as well!) which were fresh and delightful and very entertaining. Gimme more! I’d love to learn about what life is like in Australia! Photos were sparse– gimme more!

Mummified Times Five.net is very enjoyable. It’s got good content, good design, and a crisp overall look to it. I’ll be checking in to read the latest!
