I’m Going to BritMums Live 2015
Name: Karen
Blog: Stopping At Two
Twitter ID: @karenjwhitlock
Height: 5’10”
Hair: Naturally brown or un-naturally red
Eyes: Two. Both green.
Is this your first blogging conference?: No, BlogFest was my first and also went to BlogOnCymru
Are you attending both days?: Yes, although I have work in the morning (I’m a part-time teacher) so will be arriving a bit late on the Friday
What are you most looking forward to at BritMums Live 2015?: Meeting other bloggers, those that I have already met and some that I haven’t. Can’t wait to see Sarah from Extraordinary Chaos as we were both shortlisted for BiBs in the Family Category, (neither of us have made the final five) and I couldn’t have been up against a lovelier person. Can’t wait to give her a huge squeeze. Katie from Life on Vista Street is also getting a huge squeeze even though we haven’t met, but with our love of cake, gin and IKEA pencils I know we are going to get on really well. Looking forward to seeing Katie from Mami2FiveBlog who is my #SummerDays co-host and my room buddy for the weekend. Also want to meet Fiona from Coombe Mill. Joining in with her #CountryKids linky has really inspired me and kept me blogging.
What are you wearing?: I have got a bit stressed about this. As I said, I have work first thing, so need something to wear to work, travel to London in and arrive at BritMums Live without looking too bedraggled. Got some navy linen trousers and top from Next and some lovely comfy pumps from Hotter. I won’t look glam, but I will be comfy. And if I am comfy, then I will have fun!
What do you hope to gain from BritMums Live 2015?: New blogging friends more than anything else. I love the way that blogging connects you with so many people that you would never normally have met. I also feel like a total amateur when it comes to blogging so excited to learn as much as possible to enable me to improve my blog.
Do you have any tips to pass on to others who may not have been before?: I’ve not been to BritMums Live, but with any blogging conference I think you need to make the effort to introduce yourself to people. If you want any opportunity, you can’t expect it to come to you.
*WAVES* Hiiiiii! My claim to fame 😀 Can;t wait to meet you too xxx
We need to find the closest IKEA to BritMums Live!
You are ON!
So excited!!!!!
Fiona is lovely! Comfy is definitely the way to go. This is my third Britmums. I am a bit nervous as I’m generally shy. My advice is just talk to everyone and don’t worry if you don’t know who they are just smile and nod. No one knows who I am 🙂
Thank you Louise. I hope I get to meet you 🙂
Hope I get to see you – I will definitely look out for you! Thank you!
Ah Karen I cant wait to see you too lovely lady I am so excited xxx
😀
Squeezy hugs all round I will be waving a Coombe Mill badge at you! Now I want to meet Life on vista Street too – the gin and cake did it! Don’t stress about what to wear, I’ve still not decided, but it will be casual and comfy, your linen trousers sound perfect. See you there xx
Can’t wait to meet you Fiona x
Have a fantastic time: I want to hear All about it! Have a ball!
Wish you were going too but look forward to seeing you in a few weeks time!
Aaah — what a lovely post but 5’10???? Ohmygoodness — that’s glamazonian in stature!!! I’m going to look like a surf standing next to you!! 😉 Can’t wait to see you lovely and give you a big cuddle (although I may need to stand on a box to do it!!) xxx

Awwwww, lovely. It will be so great to see you and have a great big squeeze. You will look gorgeous. I am really nervous about Britmums but it will be brilliant to see all my favourite ladies. Hugs Mrs H xxxx

It has been too long! Can’t wait to see you again x

I can’t wait. Say hi to me if you are there x
I hope you have a great time and get a lot out of it. Last year was the first time I was aware of the whole BritMums Live thing and everybody who went seemed to be buzzing about it. I could never afford to go, and even then I think I would be ill with anxiety. x
Thank you. Hopefully there will be lots of tips etc shared via Twitter and blogs so you don’t feel like you have missed out too much.
Oooo yay, hope to see you there! So many people to look out for but as you’re a tall one, hopefully you’ll be easy to spot! #sundaystars
