>My Best Blogging Bits of 2011

>This blog will be a whole year old in Feburary! I started it just for the benefit of keeping a diary of my day to day adventures. I was in a competition with the Graco Fusio, and had to keep a diary of where we had been and what we had been up to. I wrote it from Marks perspective, but I won’t lie, that was tricky and over time it changed to be my blog about my three children. I never expecting blogging to take me where it has, or for us to be lucky enough to experience some of the things we have…

So here is some of my best bits from 2011.

Firstly, I became a Graco Ambassador! I attended my first ever press event for Graco where I met the lovely Wendy and Freddy (inside the wendy house), Emma and Erin (emma and 3), and Lorraine and Squeaky (Squeaky Baby). There was a pushchair showdown where I won £250 charity donation to PARC. Although fellow Graco Ambassador Faye (Me and My kiddywinks) didn’t attend the event, she has become one of the bestest friends a girl could want. You can read more about the press event and our experience of Graco Ambassadors here: http://www.blogbybaby.com/p/mummys-blog.html

As you can see it has been a manic year, these are only a few of the things we have done. I never once dreamed that we would be doing any of these things, let alone meeting some fantastic friends along the way. I have some amazing things lined up for 2012 and I simply cannot wait!
