Starting my blog was one of the best things I have ever done and one of my biggest achievements this year. I cant believe I have been doing it for almost a year now. What started as an on-line journal has turned into so much more and offered me some fantastic opportunities. I cant wait to see how it develops this year.
I never realised how social blogging was when I started but have been fortunate enough to attend several events including CyberMummy 2011 and Blog Camp Bristol. I have met some fabulous, inspiration women and made some very good friends. I cant wait to see many of you again at more events this year.
Writing this blog has opened several doors and given the family and I the opportunity to review some amazing products and gorgeous toys. I did not set out with the intention of doing reviews, it happened accidentally but I love it and have enjoyed working with some fantastic Companies including Pink Lining, Britax - their Safety Expert and facebook magazine, Toyjeanius, Wooden Toy Shop, Lush and even Disney. I look forward to doing much more this year.
As someone who has always wanted to be thinner I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to work with Thinking Slimmer and trial their slimpods. I have managed to lose a stone and drop a dress/ jean size and am currently pretty happy with the way I look. I even became a runner up in their competition with my story in December. This opportunity has changed my life... I have ditched all the silly diets, yet still lost weight. I am looking forward to continuing to work with them this year.
During the Summer I was very excited and fortunate to become an official Mum Ambassador for Butlins. Having recently been on our first break (you can read the review here) I am looking forward to continuing working with them and taking a second break this year.
I have not made any New Years Resolutions this year but have lots of exciting plans. I hope it will be a very happy one, that my family all stay healthy and I hope my blog continues to go from strength to strength.
Happy New Year To you all!
