I’m going to #BML16

This time last year I was starting to get nervous about Britmums Live, I am not entirely sure why as I had been to a few blogging events already. Still, Britmums seems to be the one everyone goes to and so I was nervous about meeting new people, scared that nobody would want to talk to me. Of course that was all silliness as everyone is so so friendly. I met up with a few friends beforehand and that definitely helped calm my nerves. I had a great time and wrote all about it from a first timer’s perspective if you fancy a read.

Now of course this is my second year and I’ll be honest, I am still a little nervous. With being pregnant I have not been to that many events over the last few months. Travelling anywhere is a real chore and so I have pretty much hibernated from the world. That has meant I have become a little lost in the blogging world and feel like I am starting all over again. Of course there will be people there I know and there will be hugs all round. But there will also be the newer bloggers, those that I have not ‘met‘ online yet as I’ve been so out of it all.

So, if you are feeling nervous about your first year just remember that some of us second/ third time attendees will be feeling nervous too – please come and say hi and we can all breathe a sigh of relief together! 🙂

As well as feeling nervous, I am also feeling really excited! I get to meet up with familiar faces, people I chat to online but never get to see in person for hugs! I am also excited to meet new people, those that I have chatted to online but never met in real life. One such person is Laura from Life With Baby Kicks – she is moving back to the UK and I have only ever spoken to her online. Very excited indeed to give her a squidge! Not to mention all the new babies that will be going!!

I am also proudly sponsored by Litecup. If you haven’t already heard about them then go check out my review – if you are sick of your kids spilling their drinks then honestly, you need these cups in your life!

So, who am I?

My name: Katy

My blog: What Katy Said and my collaborative blog, Live. Love. Blog 🙂

Find me on social media at:

• Twitter- @WhatKatySaidUK

• Facebook- @whatkatysaid

How I look: I will be 8 months pregnant on the day so I will look pretty hot, flustered and enormous!!

Is this my first blogging event? No, I’ve been to quite a few now and this is my second time at BML.

I will be wearing… a tent… no no, I am planning on wearing something light and floaty. I do not want to be uncomfortable so I am thinking a maxi dress of sorts. Definitely flat shoes – that is a given!

What I hope to gain from #BML16: Last year I went to an amazing IG talk by the lovely Katy over at Apartment Apothecary and came away so inspired. I want to come away feeling inspired once again!

My tips for a great conference: Do what you want to do, if you want to go to a particular talk then go, no matter what anyone else is doing. If you want to sit around and chat with friends then do that. Wear comfy clothes and be yourself. And smile!! 🙂

See you there!
