Firstly I need to say a massive thank you to the TheBabyWebsite.com for not only being my sponsor but also for their ongoing support and encouragement! As some of you may remember that a short while ago I was going through a period of trepidation about attending Britmums Live and I have to say for anyone that is feeling the same about attending next year ……. Don’t! …….. It was the most amazing experience ever!
I have never experienced an event that was so emotional, inspiring, intense, motivational and so genuinely powerful in all my life.
The workshops were amazing and I have come home with so many ideas that in all fairness my blogging mojo is back in full force but has left my poor brain trying to catch up and organise where to start first.
As most bloggers know, you read peoples highs and lows in front of a computer screen day in and day out, just as others read yours. To actually meet hundreds of people in real life after knowing so much about them really is intense (in a good way)
So without further ado these are some of my highlights (this is not all, by any stretch!)
For a someone who has been blogging only 8 months I have to say I am proud to be part of such an incredibly supportive and friendly community and to each and everyone of you that I finally got to meet in real life. I want to say thank you all so much for your time and friendship, not only for your tweets, emails, phone calls and blog comments throughout my time blogging but also for the pleasure of your company ‘IN REAL LIFE’ and to those I have yet to meet I can’t wait to see you!
So here’s to Britmums Live 2014 …… I have already got my ticket, I will see you all there!
I never realised you’d only been blogging for 8 months!! I thought you’d been at it for years!
I really want to go to Britmums next year, been having pangs of jealousy all week!
lol yep only 8 months! although if i am honest it does feel like longer! you need to get your bum there next year!! xx
It was a pity I didn’t see you there. There are so many people it can be difficult. Still at least we’d met a few months before in Birmingham. Glad you had a great time.
Awww thanks Erica, I am pleased at least we had met elsewhere too! although it would of been lovely to meet again at BML xx
Great pictures! I don’t think I took enough. It really was an amazing experience, wasn’t it? I’ve got my 2014 ticket too! Less than 51 weeks to go…
