Back in the summer I attended a parenting blog camp called Cybermummy where I had my photograph taken with a group of other pregnant bloggers for a ‘bloggers calendar’. To get my hands on a copy of the calendar I need to write a simple blog CV. So here goes… I started my blog back in 2005 to be a part of the online craft community which inspired me to dust off my sewing basket. Over the years I’ve sewn, baked, got married and had two lovely children and I love the way my blog charts all the ups and…

Only a couple of sleeps until Cybermummy 11 so I thought I would take the opportunity to write down my thoughts before the event. Cybermummy countdown I’m really looking forward to it. My husband will be spending the day with Edward so I don’t have to worry about them both, they will be having heaps of fun without me. I keep looking at the schedule and trying to decide what talks to go to. I’m really looking forward to hearing Sarah Brown speak, she’s my twitter crush. I was lucky to win a copy of her book and can’t wait…

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…

I was very excited to receive some business cards today from moo.com I chose a variety of designs as I want to use them at BlogCamp, Cybermummy and with the swaps I participate in. 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…

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…

Dear Potential Cybermummy 2011 sponsors, I’m a Cybermummy virgin and would absolutely love to go to Cybermummy 2011. I was unable to attend this year, and as I’m currently on maternity leave I just can’t afford a ticket (sob sob). So I’m currently looking for a company to sponsor me. Could that be you? I would only need the cost of the Cybermummy ticket (£80 until the end of 2010, then £100), as I live in north London. In return I would offer the following: a blog feature about your product / brand and a giveaway a mention and link…
