    Cybermummy11

    Today was the day that Cybermummy11 took place at The Brewery in London. Thanks to my fabulous sponsors, NurseryValue.com I spent the day with lots of like-minded parents, learning how to improve my blog. Cybermummy11 I started the morning with a bit of a hair makeover from Michael Douglas. We had a good gossip about the celebs he has worked with and he’s a lovely guy (and great hairdresser!). The keynote speech was given by Sarah Brown who spoke about how and why she uses twitter, her charity work and making sure her children had normal family time when they…

    Day Zero – Month 7 (April)

    Time for a quick Day Zero update before another month passes me by:   4.     Get through my baby’s teething in one piece! The last few days have been terrible as Edward has not one but three teeth coming through at the top. The pain is excruciating for him and we’re finding it really difficult to comfort him. We’re all having sleepless nights and a lot of grumpyness. Edward is so good natured and happy that it is awful watching him suffer. Teething sucks! 5.     Read one book every month Since becoming a mum I’ve been more of a magazine…

We’re big moo fans and we used them for our wedding invites, place cards, cake stickers and thank you cards. The packaging is always lovely and simple but they have produced something special for the Royal Wedding. My cards arrived in a limited edition white presentation box in honour of the occasion. Clearly I will have to keep them out of the way of the small…

    Reasons to be cheerful

      1. This was meant to be my first week back at work after maternity leave but as I resigned it’s been the first week of my new role as full-time mum. I’ve had a few wobbles about my decision this week but I know it was the right decision for me and my family. I’ve spent a lovely week with my husband and son, the sun has been shining and I’ve felt very happy. 2. I’ve got a Cybermummy sponsor! Completely out of the blue but a great brand. More details soon! 3. Edward and I have been to…
