A Journey to Becoming a Top Creative Family Lifestyle Blog: The Story Behind BlueBearWood
BlueBearWood began in 2011 alongside ZingZingTree, a craft blog that quickly became a top 10 UK craft blog. While ZingZingTree focused on creative projects, BlueBearWood grew steadily as a family lifestyle blog, covering topics like food, education, and family adventures. By 2017, the creative overlap between the two blogs led to their merger, forming the Creative Family Lifestyle blog that exists today. Over the years, BlueBearWood has grown alongside Anthea’s family, evolving into a space that inspires families worldwide.
The Family Behind BlueBearWood
The creative mind behind BlueBearWood is Anthea, a mother of three amazing daughters, including identical twins. She finds joy in blending creativity with family life, transforming everyday moments into opportunities for connection and inspiration. Her home is a lively hub of crafting, cooking, and laughter, which serve as the foundation for BlueBearWood’s ideas and projects.
Anthea’s family plays an integral role in the blog’s success. At times, she has also home-educated her daughters, incorporating creativity and hands-on learning into their education. As a mother of neurodiverse children, Anthea embraces individuality and creates a supportive environment where everyone can thrive. She managed her twin daughters’ Teen/Tween YouTube review channel, Love Ro&Ra, and later collaborated with them to set up a toy review blog, The Toy Scoop. These projects reflect their shared passion for creativity and contribute fresh, family-focused content to BlueBearWood’s audience.
