Introducing Me, Introducing My Sponsor - BritMums Live 2013

This is my "getting to know you" 

I'M GOING TO BRITMUMS LIVE 

introduction post for the BritMums linky.

However I ALSO have exciting news! 

This girl's gone and got herself a sponsor.  

One I can be proud of too!

You only have to look at their children's clothes, 

or boys t-shirts in particular (you can see Aaron in one of those right?), 

to understand why I am proud 

to call them my Sponsor.

If you are a regular reader of this blog you will know that 

Aaron's looked good since the day he was born.  

I am crap at dressing myself, but I seem to be able to perform magic 

when it comes to him.  

When getting things out of the wardrobe I am not always fully paying attention, 

yet when I get to dress him, I'll see that the colours all coordinate.  

It's like magic. 

Now that he is getting bigger, 

I need to start to develop his own little style, 

and alexandalexa is the perfect place to do just that.  

It's the sort of website you'll want to spend a lot of time on, 

especially given that they have  

UP TO 50% OFF AT THE MOMENT!

And now, over to the introductions.

Name: You may call me Liska

Blog: errrr this one! +New Mum Online  but you can also find me at +Conscious Mum 

Twitter ID: @NewMumOnline and @ConsciousMum

No, it will be my 6th.

4. Mumsnet Blogfest 2012
5. Cybher 2013
6. BRITMUMS LIVE 2013 - hooo hah! 

After every event I always do a thorough blog post where I practically type up my notes of what I have learned at the event. They're always worth a read or so I am told.

Are you attending both days?
Of course!

What are you most looking forward to at BritMums Live 2013?
The fact that we get a 2 day break from being at home.  Mingling with like minded people.  Smiling/laughing/drinking/eating/socialising/learning.... it really is formidable! Plus I love the swag bags and the fact that there is always something there we are not expecting, whether it be handwriting analysis, breadmakers, naked waiters, TK Maxx makeovers, etc...  The list goes on of pleasant surprises we've all enjoyed in the past.

What are you wearing?
3 different dresses.  If it wasn't for the muffin top that jeans give me it would be jeans!

What do you hope to gain from BritMums Live 2013?
To get through "speaking" without pooing my pants!
To make sense in my 5 minutes without being incoherent.
As you can see on the BritMums Live Agenda I am speaking as part of a panel at 14:10 on Saturday, talking about Blogging with Heart for Support.
At the event I want to meet all the bloggers I hold dear, and of course new ones I am yet to meet.
To learn something from the sessions that I pick - if I pick right - so that I can type up my notes in the type of after-conference blog post I am infamous for :-)  That is a hangover from my days as an Office Manager / HR Manager, where documenting accurately and often verbatim, what was said, was imperative!

Tell us one thing about you that not everyone knows
Despite being a Londoner I have always considered myself Irish. I had my 21st over there AND my wedding.  I've always been told I am NOT Irish (mainly by my Mum) as I was born here, but I very recently found out I was conceived in Ireland (not from my Mum - I mean I was! Obviously! but that's not where the news sprang from), so now, if I was an ornament, it would say on my the bottom MADE IN IRELAND :-)

Disclosure:
alexandalexa being my sponsor means that they have covered the cost of the expenses I will incur in order to attend BritMums Live (travel etc...).
