Bloggers Bluff #07: Bridie By The Sea
Bloggers Bluff is my guest post game for bloggers and this week we’re featuring Bridie By The Sea.
The Rules: Our blogger of the week will tell us 3 unusual stories about themselves. Two will be true one will be completely made up!
Are YOU game?!
Last Week’s Reveal
Last week, Tracey from Hooks and Dragons took part. I can now reveal that her Bloggers Bluff was:
I have an IQ of 130. I know this because I paid to take the mensa-approved IQ test. I was really pleased with the result, until I found out that the minimum level required to join mensa is 131. So near, yet so far…
This Week
This week, I am joined by Bridget from Bridie By The Sea.
I join Bridie’s linky ( #DreamTeam ) every Tuesday and it’s such a lovely community of bloggers. Bridie’s blog was one of the first blogs that I started to read regularly and I’ve loved following her journey from stay at home mummy to working mama.
How long have you been blogging?
7 months that have gone by in a flash!
What’s the best thing about blogging?
When someone relates to your writing and lets you know that you’ve reassured them that they’re not alone. That’s an amazing feeling.
Describe your blog in 3 sentences or less.
Bridie By The Sea is my positive and honest take on being a mum for the first time. It’s my way of remembering every detail of parenthood, the rockiest journey of my life.
What’s your best piece of blogging advice?
Don’t judge your beginning with someone else’s middle. I find it so easy to get sucked into obsessing over stats and followers, but try to do my own thing and be patient with my blog.

Bloggers Bluff
I’d love to have more bloggers take part so if you fancy being featured on Bloggers Bluff, give me a shout.
Now let’s get down to business! Here are Bridget’s three Bloggers Bluff submissions:
Bloggers Bluff A
When I was 8 years old, I auditioned for the National Youth Ballet and amazingly got through. I went on a summer camp with the other dancers and ended up performing at the Royal Opera House. I played the part of a pig in Midsummer Night’s Dream and fainted onstage due to the heat of wearing a pig’s head.
Bloggers Bluff B
On a trip to Italy with my other half, a baby projectile vomited from a height off a balcony and onto my OH’s back. As a passerby tried to help him mop it up, I then started heaving and threw up on my jeans too. We searched high and low for a chemist with wipes or something to clean the sick off but everything was shut so we had to rock up to our very expensive hotel smelling like tramps.
Bloggers Bluff C
On Sunday evenings, my pre-start of the week OCD anxiety starts to kick in… call it that back to school feeling! So I usually find myself going round the house with a plastic bag frantically tidying up all the mess that has filled our house during the week. Hilariously, my 18mth daughter has now caught onto this and usually follows behind me putting her toys in the the plastic bag
So guys, which is the bluff??

This post is entered on the following linkies:
I want A to be true because it’s such a lovely story apart from the fainting so I’m going to go with B! #familyFun
Yes, poor Bridget! Thank you for leaving a guess. L
What a fun series. A is such a fab story and I’m hoping that B isn’t true but I have a feeling that something like that may well be true so I’ll go with C. #familyfun
I’m glad you’re enjoying the series, Louise. Thank you for leaving a guess. L
OOooohhhh… is it C? I can picture Bridget in the ballet, and that sick story is so funny it sounds like it might just be true. Would love to join in with this! #BloggerClubUK
It’d be lovely to have you, Annette! Thank you for popping by. L
Oh, got last week’s bluff wrong again lol. And this one is no easier. I’m going for a complete guess and say A
#BloggerClubUK
I’ve not a great track record with guessing either! Thank you for coming back again, Suzie. L
Love bridie. Must go spend some time on her blog. I think b is a bluff. Thanks for linking up to #familyfun
Yes she’s a great blogger. Thank you for having a guess. L
I’m going to go with B. I hope it’s not true – all that vomiting sounds horrible. #FamilyFun
I know- yuk! It’s funny how you don’t even flinch when you’re covered in your own baby’s sick, but someone elses = bleugh!!!
Oooh that is a really tricky one good options Bridie. Hmm the second one would be funnny but for some reason I think number 3 is calling to me. Perhaps cause I used to call it grumpy Sunday syndrome and do a simile thing… thanks for sharing at #familyfun xx
I think C sounds really cute! It’s funny how they pick up on things. L
Ah shucks got last week’s wrong! I’m going with B for this week’s. I really love this series so entertaining! Thanks for linking up to #coolmumclub xx
I’m glad you like the series, Talya. Thank you for visiting again. L
I’m going with C. A toddler that tidies up their toys?? ‘Aint never gonna happen haha. Big fan of Bridget’s work though – I can’t believe that she has only been blogging for 7 months? I thought she’d been writing for years! Thanks for sharing Lucy x #coolmumclub
Haha good point! I know I was really surprised that she’d only been blogging 7 months! Amazing!
I believe B, because been there and done that! I’m going with C. #TheLisy
Oh dear that doesn’t sound good! Thank you for guessing, Claire. L
I’m going with B as the bluff, I so want A to be true x #TheListLinky
Thank you for guessing. L
Lovely posy and series, nice to get to know fabulous blogger, and can’t believe she’s only been blogging for 7 months! crazy! love ya both, G #TheListLinky and i also think the BLUFF IS = C
I’m glad you like the series. Thanks for popping by and leaving a guess. L
I’ve definitely learned to never stress about stats. A few months ago mine took a nosedive and I was stressing about it every day. And then it bounced back with a vengeance. I now have almost triple the followers and readers that I did before the plunge. And they are actively engaging readers so I treasure them.
I find it really hard not to worry about stats. I know I just need to keep plugging away but it’s hard when your stats don’t seem to reflect the effort you’re putting in. Thanks for the encouragement here, though, Heather. L
I forgot to say #bigpinklink
Loving this series – it’s so FUN! Mmmm, I would say #2 because to me, I am terrified of vomit and so I hope that #2 never happened. Thanks for sharing with #bigpinklink
Oh I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I certainly enjoy running it and seeing what the bloggers come up with! And yes #2 sounds horrible!
I love that insight “don’t judge your beginning by someone else’s middle” I look back on my 6 years of blogging and I know my blog is still growing in quality. My first posts were quite embarrassing but we all start somewhere and mature with time. #BigPinkLink
Yes it’s a great quote, isn’t it. I sometimes fall into the habit of comparing myself to other bloggers who’ve been blogging the same length of time as me, but even that’s not comparable because you don’t know their background or how many hours they’re putting in. I think, at the end of the day, you just have to do what’s right for you and not worry about other people. L
Oh I love these games! It’s got to be number 3. My 18 month old daughter would have followed me around the house and pulled everything back out of the bag LOL. #BigPinkLink
Yes my girls seem to be anti-tidiers too – I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve put all their books back on the book shelf, turned round to do something else, and look back to see my little one sat on the floor with the books spread all around her again!
Ooh great series idea. I think/hope it’s B… #FamilyFun
I’m glad you like the series, Susie. L
