OMG my blog is 1 today!

I don’t know where the time has gone since I wrote my first post!

My blog is completely different now to how it was then. I admit I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I’m not sure I’d ever even read another blog post when I started. The learning curve has been pretty astonishing!

I am immensely proud of my blog. I love writing it even though it is hard work (I seriously had no idea how it would take over my life!)

I have done things over the past 12 months that I never would have imagined possible

• I have shared personal details about breastfeeding and mental health

• I have offered advice based on my own experiences and priorities

• I have made it into the top 500 of the Tots100 and my DA has peaked at 30 (now 29 🙁 )

• I have held my own charity tea party

• I have pitched to brands (and still cringe every time!)

• I have attended blogger events at McDonalds, Didcot and the Lexicon, Bracknell. I have 3 more blogger event scheduled for the next month, not bad for the shy girl from Blackwater…

I obviously need to thank my children for putting up with millions of photos being taken of them as well as being patient when I pop on the laptop in the middle of breakfast etc

I have done all of this because one person believed in me: Chris.

And thanks to him I now believe in myself.
