What is a Rookie Mama? Well, I’m a Rookie Mama. Before we had my eldest son 7 years ago I had never changed a diaper (nappy), I’d put on a baby grow once. It took an hour, and it ended up being back to front and inside out. And for me (& my American hubby) we’ve pretty much been making it up as we go along ever since.
I’ve become rather aware I may be sounding like a bit of a stuck record, banging on about our imminent move from London to California. I mean, it’s kinda hard not to talk about it, given that it has practically taken over my daily existence for the past few months!

It’s suddenly here… the move date is looming. I finally have my interview scheduled at the US embassy in London to get my Green card. I’m kinda one of those people that doesn’t let myself get too excited or concerned about a major life event until I know it’s actually happening for sure. Well, fingers crossed it’s happening, and it’s happening soon!… I’ve been putting off this day, but planning it for some time. It’s time to relocate Muklet HQ…
I am going to my first Brit Mums live blogging convention. Even though I’ve been blogging for over a year now, I still feel that I have a tonne to learn! There will be all levels of bloggers there, and I can’t wait to grab a glass of wine (after 11am of course!), and start meeting people, sharing about what we do, and attending the talks that I know are really going to inspire me, and help up my blogging game!
Back in March I toddled off to a small gathering at The Sanctum Soho Hotel featuring Mother Pukka (aka Anna Whitehouse) and Matt Riley. The event was ‘The Great British Fake Off’…I came away feeling inspired, but not so sure I was really ready to add yet another social media channel to my growing portfolio of things to do. But as the weeks passed I started to think about it as an extension to my blog.
So if I’m gonna Blog & Vlog I’d like to offer something a little different. With a wave of Moms jacking in the day job to get designing, making and selling why not offer something these guys might be interested in reading to help pass on tips, funny stories, perhaps let people learn from my misadventures.

I’ve had a busy month. I’ve decided to throw myself into almost every Mother/ Blogger/ Vlogger/ Networking/ Workshop that I can fit into my busy schedule.
A few weeks back I headed out to meet up with some local small business owners to share our stories, hints and tips. It’s one of the things I really enjoy about running a business, getting out and meeting other like minded people, hearing their stories, telling them yours, and finding ways to help each other out. Meeting in a pub, park, play gym or … Continue reading Just don’t say the ‘M’ word
