Half Term Closure

Hello all. It's that time of year when the weather turns ugly, the days get shorter and the central heating is set to ON. I love the beginning of Fall but here in England it seems Fall turns into winter far too quickly. Perhaps this is why I start planning for Christmas earlier each year, is it just me or do others have this same inclination? Or maybe it's just because I have small children.

PLEASE NOTE: Office will be CLOSED from Tuesday October 20 (midday) until Thursday October 29. If you need to email me during this time, please do and I will respond as soon as I can.

Hmmm will it be dark at 5pm soon?

Have a good half term everybody.

Family Friendly Networking


The first MumsClub Face2Face Networking event in Worthing hosted by yours truly and held at my house on Thursday October 8, 2009 was a HUGE success!

The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed and at the same time buzzing with lively conversations – there was plenty of constructive networking happening! There are so many enterprising mums (and dads) out there making it all happen for themselves around their busy family lives. It’s amazing really how many of us there are and it’s fantastic to meet and chat with like-minded mumpreneurs, whether just starting out or more established. We encourage and inspire each other and this type of support, especially for those just starting up and testing the waters, can be a life line and is invaluable.

Victoria’s Caterpillar Music session for the little ones was fantastic with puppets, musical instruments and lots of singing. http://www.caterpillarmusic.com Victoria holds classes in Worthing and does birthday parties in Worthing, Brighton & Hove and the surrounding areas. You can email her at Victoria.kennedy@caterpillarmusic.com to arrange a party or enquire about sessions!

The Sandwitch Bar http://www.thesandwitchbar.co.uk kindly provided delicious sandwiches and savouries which definitely went down very well. They have a lovely eat-in or take-away sandwich deli on Rowlands Road in Worthing. So pop in for a bite – choose from sandwiches, filled rolls, jacket potatoes, salads, pastries and cakes.

I just have to comment on how well behaved my 6 month old was. Actually, I think he was mostly in shock! Normally it’s just me during the day whilst the older two are in school and it’s very quiet apart from my tapping away on the keyboard - what a little trooper.

The feedback I’ve had (and am still getting) has been phenomenal and I’m so pleased everyone found it useful – there is obviously a demand for this type of networking. Must get going and organise another one. Watch this space!

In the meantime, I’ll be busy with all the new web projects that came about from this networking event.

All the best!
