It's all got to start somewhere...

So here we are, our first blog post as HippoTree.  It's a medium that we're pretty unfamiliar with, but looking forward to exploring.  So many people blog nowadays and, as avid people watchers, it seems right up our street :)  We'll be wanting lots of advice about how to do this effectively - apart from the fact that we do like to talk, we'd obviously like to try and increase traffic to our website.

We should introduce ourselves at this point:  We are Roz and Sarah - both of us mum to 2 boys.  We met on a Mum and Baby Internet Forum when we were expecting No 1 and No 2 respectively in 2006.  We realised that one of us was about to move within 2 miles of the other and struck up a friendship which surpasses our business!  Realising that both of us like to do crafty things, we set about finding a way we could do that together. 

And so HippoTree was born.
