I sat at the front of CyberMummy 1 on saturday and thought,
Wow I cannot believe I am part of this.
Blogging is not as a taxi driver once told me,
Just people spouting about rubbish.
Yes, blogging is about sometimes telling your own story and not every post is interesting to all readers, sometimes you even do a review about something you loved but no one else may like.
Blogging is also about communciating with like minded people, sharing your story, finding new friends, celebrating the highs and commiserating the lows.
I have made real friends from blogging, friends who I now meet up with in ‘real life’ and whom I was instantly comfortable with as we had already shared so much of our lives. Friends who have welcomed me as a new blogger, and cheered me on, giving me confidence in my blog.
I can honestly say everyone I met at CyberMummy without exception was lovely and friendly. Yes there were not enough places to sit and some of the sessions were not as interesting as others, but I didn’t care about that. I was just happy to be part of something so big and so influential.
It was brilliant to meet the very lovely Multiple Mummy and we came away inspired to do something more with Science Sparks, big thanks to Maggy from RedTedArt for this.
Another highlight was meeting a I’m so Fancy who is as lovely and funny in real life as in her blog.
My weekend post would not be complete without a big thanks to BrotherMax for sponsoring me. Abi and Kim have been simply fantastic to work with.
Another big thanks to Hyundai for the amazing car, and goodies that went with it!
My gallery post would not be complete without a photo of my amazingly wonderful children and husband , who are everything to me. Oh, and if you were wondering hubby coped remarkably well without me, even commenting that maybe I should keep the house tidier through the day during the week.
Lovely happy post! Great photos aswell. I love the useful tip your husband gave you re:housework lol
Ha ha, yes he thinks he knows it all now!
This sums it up really well. Was lovely to meet you and as for the house work, honestly what are they like they do it for one day and think its easy tee hee x
I know! Lovely to meet you too!
That’s the downside to them babysitting FOR ONE DAY they feel they can then tell you advise you on how to do it. Such sweethearts aren’t they?glad you had a good time, I did too
Indeed. I wish we had met up. 🙂
Well done hubby & I’m so glad you enjoyed the day!
Thanks, it was great! x
Lovely post, happy you enjoyed yourself and that hubby did such a great job.
Thank you! x
Glad you had such a great time. I am not going to miss out on it next year, no sirree.
It would definately be great to have more Dads there!
Great photos, I’m pretty sure I met you at some point during the day but no idea when it was lol
Awwww lovely pics. I think we were all glad to see our little ones at the end of that fun day!
Thank you. Lovely to meet you there. x
I feel sooooo left out…wish I’d gone too, lots of Bloggers I would love to have met. Sounds like you had a fab time x

Glad you had a great time, love the pics of your kids too. I love it when OH’s cope for a day and then think we have an easy job…….I think they forget that we totally organise them before we go!!!!
ha ha, yes. He did do well though, I came home to a remarkably tidy kitchen!
Thank you for the kind words! It was so great meeting you and I’m glad you had fun! x
Yea! It was great x
Glad you had a great time, love your words about blogging and how you pay tribute to some bloggers here too.

A lovely post and I can assure you that meeting you was my highlight too. So excited about Science Sparks now! xx
Yea!! Me too. x
Lovely photos, glad you had a good time!
thanks, next year you’ll be there too!
sounds wonderful. I’ve heard so many people saying that Cybermummy was all about the people and not a lot about the content… but you had fun and that’s what matters
Thank you! xx
lovely to meet you, it was all so busy and so many people I felt I missed getting to know properly at lot of people, free wine didn’t help my concentration levels.
I’ve heard so many people dismiss blogs are dull and boring and people spouting stuff, it was great to be an environment that celebrated all that’s great about blogging. X
It was great to be in a room with people you have so much in common with!
It was lovely to meet you Emma and you are just as lovely as I knew you would be !! x
likewise Katie! x
