Conference Season

Its conference season and I am off to not one but two of them! I know people like the hello this me meme so I am kinda squeezing both into one and making it up as I go along!

So next Saturday I am off to Blogtacular and I uber excited about this. I couldn't make it last year and I was gutted so I treated myself to a early Christmas gift and got a ticket as soon as I could.

I can't wait to be around all those super creative bloggers and I am hoping that I can catch some of it and up my game. Blogtacular for me is about being  inspired and meeting amazing people.

The Saturday after that I am off to Britmums Live, I haven't missed one yet! This year will be different for me as I am a speaker *shakes with nerves*. Now if anyone knows me from way back when I had my first little blog they will know I did indeed speak at the very first Cyber Mummy which was pre Britmums Live. I was a crowd sourced speaker and read out a of my blog posts and vowed never to speak in public again *ahem*.

I am being brave and along with the lovely Kate and Chelle I shall be talking about being a social media manager. I know many people think its not a real job but honestly it is! If you are coming to my session please be kind.

Ok I suppose I should tell you a little bit about me:

My name is Carol 

I'm really bad at taking selfies 

*cough* Its my birthday the day before Blogtacular 

I am addicted to starting new blogs 

I have been blogging just over 6 years

I may not be a natural red head

I love red lipstick 

I can't cook Yorkshire puddings

I bake darn good cakes

When I was little my nan asked my what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said a secretary, to which she replied "you want to be the boss!" so I took her advice and became my own boss. 

I give really good hugs

If you want to know any more about me  just ask. 


Before I go I wrote a post a few years ago for my client Kids One Stop Shop on How To Survive a Blogging Conference, its full of tips for newbies.
