Behind the scenes at BritMums Live!

Blogers waiting to get inMany of you know that I’m the founder of BritMums, the UK’s largest parent blogging community with nearly 4,000 members that represent more than 7,000 blogs with a reach of nearly 20 million page views a month.

More than 500 people flooded The Brewery in London on June 22 and 23, 2012, for BritMums Live!, the biggest parent blogger conference in the UK. Ruby Wax kicked things off with a frank and funny discussion of her depression and her online community Black Dog Tribe. From there we had blogger roundtable discussions, workshops, the Brilliance in Blogging party and awards, Sarah Brown, Cherry Healey, the Bloggers’ Keynote, social networking training, advice on charitable fund raising and awareness, fruity drinks, style sessions, film sneak peeks, pedicures, vacuuming (!), photobooths and much much more.

I don't write that much BritMums here, the parent blogger network I founded nearly four years ago. Actually I don't seem to be writing much here at all! BritMums is keeping me very, very busy.

 For one, we just launched the Brilliance in Blogging Awards - aka The BiBs. They celebrate the best parent blogs in the UK on a wide variety of topics and styles. There's a category for newbies, there's a category for foodies, there's even a category for daddies (although we expect we'll see them in some of the other categories as well…fashion, anyone?).

We're holding our big annual blogger conference BritMums Live! in June, and Carly over at Stepford Wifey is hosting a Meet & Greet on her blog.

I know it's nearly five months away, and my hair (and body shape) may change by then, but here goes:

I’ve always wanted to be a big sis!

Bigsis1Many of you know I'm the founder of the BritMums community of parent bloggers,the UK’s largest and most influential network of parent bloggers. Our mission is to encourage and support our members and the high quality, ethical blogging they do. I started the network in 2008, and you could say I'm passionate about it.

Last month we started a Big Sis mentoring progarmme. I now have those three willing ears I always yearned for.

Let me introduce them…
