On January 12th 2010, a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook the poorest country of the Western hemisphere, the island of Haiti. Not only was it the worst earthquake on Haiti in living memory, but it was actually the worst on the island for 200 years. The epicentre was approximately ten miles from the densely-populated capital, Port-Au-Prince, where inhabitants were already reeling from recent smaller-scale disasters.
I think I have an addictive personality! I just cannot get enough of memes and blog hops!! It’s great fun! 
It’s Friday Follow time again. This is a fantastic blog hop, where we can find new interesting people and blogs to follow, as well as an opportunity to gain lots more more followers on your own blog. It is all about sharing and having fun.
Here’s another great find at MckLinky.Com. Last week’s offering poked fun at us women. This week we get even! Enjoy!
I’ve decided to start a new meme – Thankful Thursday - where participants blog about what they are thankful for in the current day / week.
First thing this morning, I wasn’t feeling very thankful. I was feeling very tired and in desperate need of a long lie. When I eventually dragged myself out of my bed and peered outside, all I could see was a swirling white blizzard!
The MckLinky Blog Hop theme for this Monday is “Snow Pics and Stories“. With many places getting their “once every hundred years snow”, MckLinky thought it would be fun to see our snow pics and hear about the snow in our areas.
I live in Scotland, UK, and we have experienced our coldest winter in more than a generation. The British media has dubbed this winter as “The Big Freeze“.
Regular readers of MammaKerr will have noticed that I LOVE memes. Last night I came across a new meme, while hopping onto a blog on the Friday Follow blog hop.
The Mama Guilt Mondays meme is the brainchild of Cop Mama. Cop Mama thought it would be a good idea to share our Mama Guilt so that we know that we are NOT alone. She says, “We all struggle in this wonderful, chaotic, ever-challenging thing call motherhood!”
Yes, I know it’s Saturday…. well actually, it’s almost Sunday!… but I’ve just discovered another fantastic meme / blog hop and I just couldn’t resist joining in the fun! I couldn’t possibly wait until next week!! 
Friday Photo Flashback is the brainchild of Alicia at More Than Words. She thought it would be good fun to scan and share our old photos and the memories they hold. I think it’s a wonderful idea, and I’m thrilled to take part in this. 
I like to participate in the Follow Friday meme on Twitter and, when setting up MammaKerr, I envisaged using a Follow Friday meme on my blog. Initially, I anticipated using site reviews of the blogs and sites I like to follow. Indeed, I did do a couple of blog posts on this last year. However, I’ve not yet been able to get into my “blogging groove” and so, sadly, this has not become a regular fixture on my blog.
I thought I’d share this amusing snippet I found on MckLinky.Com. It certainly made me laugh out loud! I hope you enjoy it too!
I’ve just signed up for the Midnight Tiara Walk for Strathcarron Hospice on Saturday 8th May 2010. I will take to the streets of Stirling on the stroke of midnight to embark on a sponsored 10 mile walk to raise funds for the hospice.
If you live in the Central Scotland area, why not join me? You can register online here, but hurry, places are limited! Last year, I was gutted because the event was closed to entrants by the time I found out about it!
I’ve just seen the most amazing photos of newborns on the Daily Mail Website, which I needed to share with you.
Sisters Tracy Raver and Kelley Ryden, took most of the photographs at their studio in Nebraska when the babies were fewer than 10 days old.
I’ve never really been a big fan of bees. I actually have a phobia of creepy crawlies, bees, wasps, etc. Since becoming a parent five and a half years ago, I have had to conquer this phobia somewhat. I certainly don’t want to pass on my irrational fears to my daughters. Therefore, I have developed nerves of steel when confronted by the little critters.
Still, it would have been quite inconceivable ten or so years ago, for me to consider writing an article about saving bees. However, that is what I am finding myself doing today, as part of a campaign on Bloggers Unite.
Life is About Two Questions
Life boils down to two questions:

It’s Twin Tuesday again, and I’m posting on TUESDAY this week! Yay!!

Seeing as it’s Shrove Tuesday (AKA Pancake Day!) I thought I’d share a yummy pancake recipe with you. I found this recipe on MckLinky.Com, courtesy of Cheri Peoples, and I plan to try it out later…
Please let me know whether you tried it, and how you enjoyed it!
I’ve just signed up with MckLinky to participate in their Blog Hops. I thought I’d try blog hopping as a fun way to promote my site, as well as providing inspiration for my blog post topics.
This week’s MckLinky Blog Hop theme is Valentines Memories.
I thought I’d share an amusing email I received from a friend recently, regarding how stupid some folk can be! Enjoy!
