Blog Your Heart Out

18 March 2014 by Eileen

Recently, both Tami from Mummy of Two and Pippa from Red Rose Mummy had tagged me into Blog Your Heart Out Meme.  These are my answers to the questions!

Blog Your Heart Out

Question 1. Who/What encouraged you to start blogging?

My husband’s friend’s sister-in-law, Anna Guest, who encouraged me and often passed me her contacts to help me along.

Question 2. How did you choose what topic to blog about?

I started off blogging about my children doing modelling and product reviews.  Now both my children are in school and don’t get as many casting or modelling opportunities, so I changed the topics I blog about.  I like to blog about Chinese food recipes; Chinese crafts like Origami, Chinese New Year Lanterns and Chinese culture.

Question 3. What is something most people don’t know about you?

I nap every day for an hour when the kids are at school and I hate roller coasters.

Question 4. What three words describe your style?

Simple, plain and boring!

Question 5. What do you love to do when you are not blogging?

I love to watch Korean drama and sleep.  But I spend most of the time cleaning. I like a clean house!

Now I tag Anna from intheplayroom

    I most definitely want to nap when all mine go off to school – I have a lot of sleep to catch up on!

    Can’t believe you manage a nap during the day! I hate roller coasters too – we will have to make sure we go to Alton Towers on the same day and let our menfolk do the big rides!

    Don’t be daft, you are not simple, plain or boring!

Hello!

Welcome to ET Speaks From Home!

Hi, I’m Eileen — a mum of two teenagers, aged 18 and 16, and a passionate lifestyle blogger sharing snippets of family life, creativity, and culture since May 2012. My daughter lives with visual impairment, and our journey together has shaped much of the heart behind this blog.

What started as a small space to document family memories has grown into a vibrant corner of the internet where I share my love for cooking, crafting, DIY projects, Chinese culture, parenting, and honest product and YouTube reviews. Whether I’m creating festive crafts, exploring Chinese traditions, or trying out new recipes, I hope to inspire others through everyday moments from home.

Over the years, ET Speaks From Home has been recognised by several parenting and blogging communities, including:

* Top 20 UK Parent Blogs (2020)
* Tots100 Top 20 Blog on Twitter (2014)
* Tots100 Top Mummy Vloggers (2015)
* Tots100 Top 20 Vloggers (2016)
* Shortlisted for the BritMums Brilliance in Blogging Awards (BiBs), Video Category (2014)

Thank you for stopping by and being part of our journey. I hope you’ll find inspiration, useful tips, cultural insights, and a little joy here at ET Speaks From Home. Read More…
