And I was determined to ensure that I get myself along to the Brit Mums 2014 conference - I know its a whole year away, but I wanted to be sure that I was able to attend and so I started looking into costs.
It's not at all cheap to be able to attend when you don't live locally which is why so many bloggers secure brand sponsorships - and I am pleased to say that I have been lucky enough to secure a sponsor for next years event.
I knew a sponsor would help me endlessly in being able to attend, but I was worried that it may mean I'd have to almost sell my soul in promoting a company I didn't really care about in exchange for sponsorship - so I was relieved and DELIGHTED when one of my favorite websites, My 1st Years, agreed to be my sponsor!
I have blogged about My 1st Years in the past with my review of their Personalised Hi-Tops and their Royal Baby Personalised Gift Set, and I can honestly say that I adore their products - they offer everything that I love - personalisation, amazing quality, fabulous presentation and affordability!
I am THRILLED to be sponsored by a company that I am genuinely a HUGE fan of, and am so excited for next years conference - a big thank you to My 1st Years for sponsoring Sparkles & Stretchmarks!
