This would be such a fantastic prize for me! I am a relatively new ‘Mummy Blogger’ and since I started in October 2010 following the birth of my son Tala I am amazed at where blogging has taken me.
I love reviewing baby products as I think feedback from a fellow parent is really important and I always try and give honest, down to earth reviews – Thats what I think makes a good Mummy Blogger.
I would love to attend Cybermummy and meet some of the fantastic bloggers whose blogs I read as well as finding out all that is current in the world of CyberMummy. I am happy to fulfil all of BornFree’s requirements and hope you will consider sponsoring me for this year.
I think I would make an ideal candidate. I a mum to 6 children soI am able to think quickly and act quickly and can answer as many quetions as needed. I dedicate my days to helping other mums and mums to be and I never get a chance to go further than the supermarket. This would be a superb oppotunity for me but in return I would offer you a very well written, honest and detailed blog post.I am a very confident public speaker and most certainly not shy. I love meeting other people and talking about my passion, which is my children. I also have 3 children under the age of three. All in all I think I will put my name forward to you based upon the above.
Yay Louise! Thanks for being our first entrant x
Great entry Emma, thank you x
Since I started blogging in October 2010, I have come to realise many things. Firstly, that having a place to write is an extremely cathartic experience, and I have managed to express things through my writing that I have not been able to articulate anywhere else. I have also learned that the parent blogging community is a wonderfully supportive and friendly network, and have been absolutely invaluable to me over the past few months.
I now choose to read blog reviews by other parents, in favour of marketing material, as I feel that a parent will always be honest with other parents about the efficacy of a product, regardless of monetary gain. In addition to the wealth of positivity I have found, I have also gained to confidence to start my own small business, promoting other companies through Facebook, Twitter and other social media, so I have a sound idea of what it takes to adequately promote a product or business, in an appropriate fashion.
I have also branched out, and now write regularly for other parenting publications, using my experiences as a mother as a grounding for my work. I would love to go to CyberMummy for many reasons. Meeting many of my fellow bloggers would be a huge bonus, but I feel that the wealth of information that I would learn from the seminars would be invaluable to me as a mother, writer, blogger and reviewer. It would equip me with the skills to optimize my blog, and make it an even more appealing place for both readers and advertisers alike.
I would absolutely love to win this prize, this would give me the chance to help and expand on the issues of Premature Babies.
I am a mother to a little boy called Jenson, who was born in August 2010 8 weeks early. My little boy was in NNU for nearly 3 weeks and I found once he had been discharged there was not enough support or advice for parents with premature babies in my area. So many issues are raised with a prem baby, and I found I had no one to talk to about them. Emotional having a prem baby is tough, and so I made the decision to start my own blog entitled “Life of a Prem Baby”. I had several reasons for doing this, one was to help me come to terms with what had happened by putting my feelings down in writing and secondly to help other parents of premature babies, I wanted to use my blog as a source of information for these parents, where they could come to, read about how my little boy was doing and realise that they are not alone and that what their baby is doing was perfectly normal.
My blog has been running since November last year, and I have had nearly 3,000 views. I have had some lovely comments left by other parents, which makes me realise that I really am doing something good and that my blog is helping others.
I am a friendly and talkative individual, honest and happy. Winning would mean the world to me and would help me in my goal to spread the word about premature babies.
Thank you

Brilliant response Jayne, thanks x
Thanks for entering Emma, we love what you’re dong to spread awareness about prem babies xx
I would love to have the oppotunity to go to cybermummy2011. I am also relatively new to blogging and would benefit from meeting some amazing characters. I have just signed up with BaM and am really looking to make a positive difference in my life through blogging (and anyone else that reads it along the way!) My blog is like my journal. It is personal to me and all the highs and lows of motherhood, parenting and being a woman that I experience get documented. Sometimes putting a post on saves my sanity!
I am a mother to 3 children (aged 1-4) and all of my children are very different characters. One of my sons is currently being assessed for statement on the autistic spectrum and requires almost constant supervision which can be exhausting. Finding the time to put the attention into my blog is sometimes hard but recently have started to receive more hits and that has really given me a boost.
I have had very different experiences with all of my children and I am a registered childminder too so I have a lot of experiences to share and delight the world with, I would love the chance to meet the other bloggers I have connected with! Some have been truly inspirational!
I agree to all the terms and conditions stated above.
As much as I would love to win, I have to say I think the lady above (Emma) is also very deserving winner. Premature births are a cause that needs constant promotion – look what that hypothermic therapy did for the little girl in the news yesterday!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter to represent such a fantastic brand at Cybermummy 2011.
I’m a mother to 3 girls, aged from 12 years to 23 months – so a broad range of experience, there isn’t much I haven’t tried in regards to parenting so its great to see a brand that has some new and innovative ideas on feeding, and its commitment to being BPA Free.
I started my blog in January 2010, but have really been consistantly blogging since around September of last year. I blog about our lives, including being a mummy, a full time student at university, my creative exploits, and about depression & anxiety. I blog daily with a ‘Dose of Positivity’ and have built up a strong readership, I write ‘full on’ blog posts around 3 or 4 times a week. Expected page views this month will be around 11,880 from 2610 visitors.
I promote my blog through social media, Twitter and Facebook, and through the Babycentre Website, where I am administrate on several boards including the March 09 Group, and also word of mouth. I LOVE the blogging community and its rich variety, we all have a voice, and a place to be heard and I’m all for using it for good.
I’m passionate about mothers having the right help, advice and expectations especially in preparation for birth, and the subsequent months following birth, it can be a minefield of misinformation, so the more experience out there the better.
I’d dearly love to be your representative at Cybermummy, my previous career in Sales, Promotions and Events gives me significant experience in this field and the opportunity to really get your brand out there and infront of the right people to raise your profile in the UK.
‘I’m positive and bubbly ‘in real life’ and would love to find some great innovative ways of working together, to benefit us both
Thanks for reading
Sorry – I forgot to say that my blog is also published on Kindle!
Ohhhh thank you so much Anne for the lovely response, and my thanks to Danielle for her support
One further bit of info for you, my blog is also linked to Twitter and Facebook, Im nearly up to 200 followers on Twitter which is great news
Totally in support of what Born Free has achieved and done.
When my little boy was born I was forever making sure there wasnt anything “extra” in things that I brought that would harm him.
Thank you
What a fantastic sponsorship opportunity!
I’ve been blogging for almost 2 years now. I really enjoy writing and reading other blogs too. It’s a great community for anyone to get into and everyone I have met along the way has been really friendly. I have a son who is 3 and a daughter who is 1.
I looked into buying and going to Cybermummy myself, but living in Scotland, it’s very expensive to self fund. I also want to be able to be involved with a brand on the day and I love what Born Free represent. Cybermummy would also give me the opportunity to meet all the other lovely bloggers and would definitely be a great learning experience to help me pursue my writing career.
In return for sponsorship, you will get an honest and ethusiastic blogger who loves to chat.
Good luck to everyone who enters!
I think I would be a good candidate for Baby Born Free at Cybermummy 2011 as i have a very energetic full on 2 1/2 year old who really keeps me on my toes, she has phenomenal speech and already reached the WHY stage!! so my day is full of running around non stop and answering a continuous stream of questions, whilst throwing the odd curve ball question at her.
I am part of Mamma McCanns Must Haves test and review panel so would be able to give an honest and concise review of my experience at cybermummy 2011 I have just given up a career in project coordinating so would be incredibly organised.
I would Also love to meet some of the lovely mummies I have become friends with through twitter and my blog “being Mum to Cami” the adventures of an arthritic mum. Having a disability also gives me a different outlook on being a mum as it can give you other issues and challenges to get round as a parent and my speaking about it might give other parent who have their own challenges in life inspiration.

I would love to go to Cybermummy and represent your brand. I have a little boy (born March 2010) and try to live in an ethical and green way. I blog about parenthood, baking, sewing and use my blog as a platform to share my views on the brands we use.
I’ve been blogging since 2005 and am currently ranked 150 in the Tots100. I’ve also kept a daily baby blog since my son was born. I’m a social media addict and love to chat to people.
I would be more than happy to meet all the terms and conditions and have written a Cybermummy pitch on my blog: http://the-gingerbread-house.co.uk/2010/12/12/sponsorship-for-cybermummy-2011/
Thanks for the opportunity. I would love to go to Cybermummy, meet all the people I talk with online and hopefully learn how to improve my blog. Good luck everyone
I think I would be a great choice for sponsorship to the Cybermummy 2011. I have a little girl who is 20 months, we believe in bpa free products & therefore support Born Free products.
We have a lovely family orientated blog where we have previously done reviews for Born Free products, we regularly post interesting articles, reviews, have a discount codes page, kids activities page and we also have Gadget Dad which is our latest addition to the blog which is directed at the father audience so we draw in a very good audience including daddies too, mainly from the UK, but worldwide too. A perfect place to have your product reviews, links and badge I think you will agree!
I was chosen last year as a QuinnyCaster (to test the Quinny Zapp Xtra) and this year as a Graco ambassador title competitor where only 5 of us in total have been chosen.
We are an eco friendly family and also care greatly about what we put into our bodies, the less chemicals the better, your brand reflects our beliefs and who better to represent your brand than someone who believes in your values and is passionate about the subject.
I would be happy to also be briefed before attending the event on any new developments or products you would like to promote, etc.
I’m friendly bubbly, approachable and most importantly knowledgeable and professional… the ideal person to represent your brand.
If you would like to discuss anything further please feel free to get in touch, I would love to hear from you.
I believe you know what Cybermummy is about so I won’t bore you with why I want to attend. I have no problem whatsoever with your requests as above on the post.
Kind regards,
Monica
I forgot to mention but I think you already know that we are active on facebook (over 820 fans), twitter (too many followers to count & incresing each day), our blog posts get populated to both sites and we are also active on youtube!
A great package all around you will agree
Kind regards,
Monica

Thanks Anne! I try my best!
Dear Baby BornFree,
I’m Rhi, author of http://thewickedmama.blogspot.com – mother to ‘Baby Boy’ who is 14months old. I started my blog to be a voice for young single mum’s and to fight against the stereotype constantly put forward by the media of girls in my situation, and to proove to other girls out there in my position that they can still make the best of themselves – leading by example I am studying for a degree in the evenings and working during the day, still finding time to enjoy my boy and blog inbetween!
On a less serious and slightly frivalous note I also cover style for little boys, I couldn’t find a blog that featured the kinds of things I was looking for when it came to dressing my son and so I’m planning on filling that hole in the market, I also feature really cool finds from small independent brands, as I’m always on the hunt for things that are a bit different and unique – have already had emails from brands that I’ve featured saying they’ve had hits and sales from the links on my page – so I must be doing something right!
I’m also about to launch a project on refinding your own sense of style, confidence and identity post baby as I know this is something that a lot of mum’s struggle with in the face of motherhood – I’m hoping that I have a lot to offer coming from a fashion and styling background and personal experience, hoping it will be really popular as its something I feel a lot of mum’s are searching for when I’m reading other blogs.
I don’t have thousands of hits yet, but I’m growing steadily and consistently month on month, I want to attend Cybermummy so I can learn from the best and inspiring speakers and build those skills to really take my blog to the next level. I was offered a job in PR at just 20 for a major fashion high street brand – with just my Alevels and no real experience, as they saw the potential, commitment and that fire in me to succeed so I already had lots of experience with massive press events and being a representative of a brand – I am passionate in every aspect of my life and would approach being your reprentative at Cybermummy and via my blogging/social networking platforms no differently.
Many thanks for the opportunity to put forward a ‘plea’
– I’m really hoping to attend Cybermummy, have made many friends who will be going, would be wonderful to meet all these lovely ladies who have encouraged and inspired me every step of the way.
Best Wishes.
Rhi
Hi
Well the standard of entries is so high, I do not know why I am doing this, but here we go.
I must admit I had not heard of your products before, but that is the purpose of your campaign, to raise brand awareness.
I am very aware of chemical nasties, as my recent post on aspartame indicates. I have had a snoop around your site and I particularly like Jools Oliver’s recommendation.
I combination feed my 8 month old boy Aaron (breast and bottle) so I am very interested to discover a safer type of bottle and anxious to find out more.
When I like a product I become evangelical about it, as with our Moby Wrap, and our Suse’s Kinder Wrap Blanket. When a product works, I shout about it. Mums don’t like to be told what to do, but they do like to know what works, and more importantly how and why.
I would love the opportunity to be your eyes and ears at the event and would adhere to all of the terms and conditions.
I have recently written 2 product reviews: for Boots and Sterimar, and have really enjoyed doing so.
Our URL is: http://newmumonline.blogspot.com/
Every product I have bought has been the result of word of mouth and not advertising, so I can appreciate the nature of your grassroots campaign, to speak to Mummy bloggers. I’d love to try your products, with Aaron’s help, and wish you every success with this competition and Cybermummy 2011.
Thank you,
Liska
I would love the chance to go to cybermummy. I am a new mummy blogger and I think the opportunities that it offers would enable me to be able to grow my blog and reach out to other mummy’s, daddy’s and especially to new mums to be.
I think BPA free products need far more coverage and be explained to the everyday person why the swap is needed so much. I used BPA free products with both my little ones (two boys 3 and 9 months) and feel there is not enough support or coverage to new parents and existing ones. I feel i can offer this support to the everday parent. My blog is becoming popular among parents under 5 very quickly and I also use netmums, facebook and twitter on a daily basis. I feel that word of mouth for these products can beat any other form of advertising. I think the more people who can be convinced of this at large influential meetings the better. I network like crazy and would recommend your products everywhere and explain why our children need the safety of BPA free products and why they should be recommend by everyone not just the under 5 mummy bloggers.
I’d also like to say good luck to every one whose posted as they have some amazing stories and just as deserving!

Wonderful entry Rhi, love your passion. Good luck x
Hi Liska, I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for coming over and entering the comp x
Hello there! Thank you this fabulous opportunity to gain a place at CyberMummy and more importantly the chance to represent your company, which I have a huge fan of for the past two years. My name is Kerry Farrow and I am 28.
My blog site is Multiple Mummy and was developed as my release of all thing baby and parent related after having twins 15 months after my first born, which forced the situation of not be able to return to work as a Science teacher – which was my love and passion! This gives me access to a lot of other parents and gives me knowledge of education as well.
So I am Mummy to Noah who is now 2 and half and twins Florence and Zachary who are 17 months and wife to my husband Nick who is also a teacher.
It has only been going since January 2011 but seem to be drawing in a good audience already. My most successful post so far has been ‘Coping with a pregnancy with a high risk of Down’s Syndrome’,
http://multiplemummy.blogspot.com/2011/02/when-scan-reveals-high-risk-of-downs.html which I think is a topic that is not discussed often but experienced frequently and was experienced by me! This post, that is very emotive to me is in contrast to my more light hearted approach, for example my post titled Unveiling my inner Cyclist! http://multiplemummy.blogspot.com/2011/02/unveiling-my-inner-cyclist.html
I am keen to participate in reviews and have so far completed one, which was of your baby bottles – which are fabulous I might add! I am honest and feel that it is duty of a blogger to be so. Parents are so keen to buy the best for their babies and it is easy to get swept away packaging, and gimmicks and can result in a lot of wasted expense, in a time when every penny counts. Mummy bloggers are a space to reveal this honesty and readers should be able to trust them. Word of mouth is now a powerful tool. I feel that if I were lucky enough to get this opportunity I would be representing a brand I truly believed in, have bought and used.
As a family, we love being out and about; exploring new places suitable for such a young family and try our best to have as much fun as possible as a family. We are very privileged to get all half terms and holidays together and do not intend on wasting this quality time.
The opportunity also to attend Cyber Mummy would give me a chance to develop my writing skills, improve my blog and branch out to a much wider audience. It would be an exciting and invaluable opportunity!
Thank you kindly for taking the time to read this.
Thank you for your amazing support Kerry, what a great entry x
Hello
I’m Phoebe, stay at home mother to the lovely Theo who is 18 months. My blog focuses on my life as a young mum with a penchant for attachment parenting and being an army wife. My husband will be in Afganistan at the time of Cybermummy 2011, so this opportunity would be great to throw myself into, which I wholeheartedly would. My blog also has it’s own twitter and facebook accounts!
Thank you for this opportunity, not only to represent your great brand, but also the chance to go to Cybermummy. I missed last years Cybermummy and desperately wanted to go. Cybermummy has so much to offer but funding myself to go would be really difficult. I’d like the chance to meet and have a chinwag with all the lovely ladies and gents behind my favourite blogs. The seminars would be so beneficial to me as I’m interested in setting up my own business in the future.
Becoming a mother 18 months ago has taught me how to be more friendly, positive, outgoing and approachable. It’s hard to survive mummy and baby groups whilst cowering in the corner or constantly complaining. I love meeting new people, especially other parents and sharing my experiences as a mother (and baby product user). These are qualities I could bring to representing BornFree at Cybermummy.
A few months ago I had to stop blogging due to family issues. I adore blogging so much and have really missed it so I’m now in the process of resurrecting my blog, reconnecting with other bloggers and raising my blog’s profile. A product based focus is a direction I’m really interested in pursuing, so I would love to represent BornFree. I’m a born advisor and already a bit of a ‘go to’ for my mummy friends when they need advice on baby products. I seem to brag about products I love as if they were my own!
I have such faith in and knowledge of the BornFree product range. I breastfed until my son was 1 year old. When I began weaning, I found it difficult to find a bottle that he was comfortable with and capable of using. BPA free is also very important to me as I’m very concerned about what nasties my son is exposed to. BornFree was our bottle of choice and now I’m hooked on the whole product range.
As with any product I buy for my son, much of my bottle research was based on fellow parents reviews. They are always so honest and hold that extra bit of weight as their only motivation is their trust in the product. If chosen, I would give an equally honest review based on my great experience with BornFree bottles.
Thank you so much for reading, really hope to hear from you soon!

I am a Mummy Blogger
With so much I want to share
I love to write and photograph
And put my videos ‘out there’.
Followers mean the world to me
And watching page views climb
But to have a cyber sponsor
That would really be sublime.
To be a representative
Of a company I respect
Would truly be an honour
That I never would neglect.
In return for sponsorship
For the CyberMummy trip
My eyes and ears I gladly give
To work in partnership.
I’d love the opportunity
To get on board with BornFree
My blogging name is QWERTY Mum

Paula Virgo
Yay Paula! Thanks for your entry, that is one cool rhyme x
Hi Chris, nice to hear from you! Thanks for entering. You’ve now got me thinking about the giant nappy idea….
Hello to Paul, our first Daddy competitor!! Thanks so much for your entry and congrats on your blog ranking. Nice to meet you x
Hi Phoebe, thanks for your great entry. Welcome back to the blogging world x
Hi Lucinda, thanks for entering the comp. It’s great to hear you talk so passionately about BPA-Free products x
I would love to be considered as your representative at Cybermummy 2011. I have already secured a ticket that I won in a competition (so if I was fortunate enough to be picked, another blogger could attend using that part of the prize fund). However, the rest of the sponsorship package and the association with your brand would be invaluable and give me the opportunity to fully experience the conference as well as give me a real focus and purpose.
I am a mum of five children (the eldest is 22 and the youngest is 18 months old). You may remember us, as we were November’s BornFree family of the month! I’ve also just reviewed your fabulous Twist n Pop Straw Cup on my blog. We are genuinely BornFree fans!
http://insidethewendyhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/bornfree-twist-n-pop-straw-cup.html
I agree to all the stipulations and would enjoy being an ambassador for your company at such a prestigious and exciting event. I’d hope it would herald the start of a longstanding relationship between me, my blog and BornFree.
I have so much respect for your company and its commitment to paving the way for safer products for our children, by removing BPA and other nasties from the materials used. It is this ethos that really makes me want to represent your brand.
My blog is my own little piece of Cyberspace and I am incredibly proud of how it has grown and how it has been received. I love the potential it has to reach people and how effective social media has become at spreading the word about brands that deserve recognition for being outstanding in their field. I’d be honoured to have BornFree onboard with me, and to represent your brand as a company that I respect, trust and admire.
Thank you for this opportunity
Hi Wendy, you really are a fantastic fan. Thanks for entering the competition x
I started blogging in Feb 2010 when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. My little boy was only 8 months old at the time. My blog covers me dealing with chemo while being a mum, then finding out I also had thyroid cancer and dealing with the surgery that came with it and now my battle of getting back to “normal”
I know it’s not a typical mummy blog, but I’m not a typical mum.
I was nominated and shortlisted to win a Beacons of Hope Award from the Lymphoma Association for my blog.
Who better to promote BPA free products that a 2 time cancer survivor?
Roz, what a journey you’ve been on! Thanks for your entry x
Wow what a great sponsorship opportunity.
I’ve been blogging for just over I year. I’m a mummy blogger, book blogger and aspiring writer. I have two boys aged 2 and 4 and I work as an operations manager for an IT company. I love to blog, read and write.
I would love to work with Born Free in any way I can. I would be happy to do a post about the sponsorship, reviews, previews and I would want to continue to do these types of posts not just until Cybermummy. I would like to build a good relationship with yourselves and Born Free which would be mutually beneficial.
I would be happy to add a badge/logo to the front page of my blog. And at Cybermummy I would be happy to wear a badge or t-shirt with the name or logo if you have one. I would be willing to help in anyway I can to promote Born Free.
I purchased the cybermummy ticket before Christmas as the early bird rate, as I really wanted to go, even though the logistics of actually getting there weren’t quite thought through. I hope that Born Free could be my fairy godmother and I can go to the Cybermummy ball.
I’m willing to go a lot further to build a good relationship which is mutually beneficial to both Born Free and myself.
I hope I get to work with such a great company.
Thank you and Good luck all.
Hi Susan, great entry! Thanks for your enthusiasm x
Hi I would personally be proud to wear your logo to Cybermummy!
I have two children, my baby girl is 1yr, my baby boy is 2yrs and I am expecting my third this August.
I not only blog I encourage other mummy bloggers and have a review section which is dedicated to all the fab baby products available for parents! I rarely review the products myself I send out the products to our very special parent members for review so my reviews are real!
I would of course accommodate your terms and conditions fully.
Really hope you take the time to look at my site and fingers crossed I am selected!
Many thanks,
Donna
Wow. What a big ol’ list of entrants already. But an amazing opportunity! Well, here goes, I guess you’ve got to be in it to win it and all that…..
I’m a part time working mum to two girls, 5 and 2 and started blogging just over a year ago as a way to dip my toe into the world of writing. I’d already been an advisor on an online sleep forum, loved being able to help and connect with other Mums, so was excited about blogging.
It started as just my thing. My own little thing. Just for me.
But since then I’ve learnt lots about the community of blogging, social networking, marketing and all that goes with it. And yes I’ll admit that, at certain points, I’ve spent my evenings looking more at my laptop than my husband.
But most importantly I have stored up and captured hundreds of memories for my kids. Managed to paint pictures with my words. I print out each and every one of my posts so that, one day, they’ll get a snapshot of what our lives are like at this moment. They can understand more about who we are, who I am, and that I’m not just ‘Mummy’.
It would be a genuine privilege to be given the opportunity to report on Cybermummy for you, and at the same time finally be able to put real-life faces to the many many names I already know so well. I can promise that I would deliver honest, amusing, polished and observant articles.
Oh. And I’m not a drinker. So I wouldn’t just take the ticket, get incredibly p****d, stay up all night dancing and wake up at the train station with a nagging feeling that I was supposed to have done something.
Thanks for the chance. *runs off to cross fingers and find rabbit ear to rub vigorously*

Hi Donna, congratulations on your pregnancy! I had 3 in 3 years and love every minute of it
Great website too http://mummynews.com/
Thanks for your entry x
Hehe Thanks Caroline, you’ve covered off honest, amusing, polished and observant in just that one entry! Well done x
I am astounded by this prize and genorosity you are showing in providing it.
WOW! O
My name is MammyWoo, I used to be cool,
But then i had a baby, and now i wee when i sneeze.
That is what my blog is about. (Not just that, but motherhood, the HONEST, Sometimes too honest account.)
I have been blogging since october.
I have recently reviewed totseat in the hotseat which got me British mummy blogger of the week and will hopefully be one of the crowdscourced speeches at the end.
If you sent me to cybermummy i would wear the born free badge with pride.
I wondered what that funny taste was when using Addisons Sippy cup!
Thank you for letting me know this fact, all his sippy cups are now going in the bin. (Seriously! We both commented on it recently!)
I come from a sales background, but can only sell if i believe in a product.
I have only looked at your about page, i will be honest.
But i believe in your product.
Anyway, must dash.. i am going to look around this website!
(And even if i dont win, I am sure i will come back. I love a good chat!)
Thanks again for running a fantastic competition!!!
Lexy
PS – Pick me. ;o)
Hi Lexy, hope you enjoyed looking around the website
Thanks for entering the competition x
I would love this opportunity and it seems appropriate as my relationship with Born Free is due to start this summer when we have our second baby and I get to use all the Born Free baby feeding kit I’ve recently bought (I’ll be reviewing it as it gets used). My daughter is 20 months old and is my current blogging muse, looking forward to adding her new baby brother to the fold.
This is such a wonderful prize and the outcome would be benefical for both winning blogger and Born Free!
I’ve not been blogging long, since November 2010 but since that time I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s such a great way of documenting our family life, meeting like minded individuals and also learning about new products. I’m also hoping that it might help me to make my mind up about what to do with my career (I’m a working mum) once I’m a mum of two, I see so many inspirational mums out there since I’ve begun my blogging journey that I’m so keen to meet some of them and get their advice. My blogging highlight so far has to be helping on the Bra4mums stand at the Baby Show in a maternity bra! Not something I envisaged doing before I started all this! So as you can see I can be persuaded to do many things for the cause….!
Cybermummy would be such a great opportunity for me to spread my wings a bit and would also give me more material to blog about, as would twinning with a great brand like Born Free.
I’ve embraced social media in a big way since starting the blog, twitter being another place where I can get in touch with mums and vent our spleens!
The standard here is so high, so I don’t presume to win, but you have to be in it to win it!
Good luck everyone!
Great entry Sharon, and we love your ‘you have to be in it to win it’ attitude x
Firstly, what a great opportunity you are giving us bloggers! I would love to be considered as I meet all your requirements and more.
I have been blogging at http://www.emmaand3.com/wordpress for the past year. The motivation was to share my experiences as a mum of three and to give honest impartial advice and practical tips. Last year I watched Cyber mummy from the sidelines of twitter and blog posts and told myself I’d be there next year.
I have secured a ticket, so if chosen by you; I would ask you to give the ticket as a second prize to another recipient. Therefore this would give you two pairs of eyes and ears to represent Baby Bornfree. I need sponsorship as I am finding the cost of travel and accommodation very expensive.
Why me then – Having already reviewed some of your products with Erin I know they work, they are a brand I trust. As a teacher and mum I know how much word of mouth (or blog) recommendations count for. I am dynamic and approachable. Due to my teaching experience I am entirely at ease in large group situations and can happily and confidently talk to people from all backgrounds. This means that I will happily talk about your products and your brand (I will even drink the obligatory wine out of your twist and pop straw cup).
I associate Bornfree with ethically and environmentally sound products, again this is something I am passionate about which is evident on my blog from my posts on saving energy and saving resources. I am also a total social media addict and would be tweeting from the conference which I would do with an agreed hashtag. I am also active on a number of forums including The Baby Website, therefore my outreach would touch these mothers too and not just those that read blogs.
Thanks once again for this amazing opportunity and I will be hoping that you can see the potential in me to deliver great results and awareness for you from CyberMummy 2011 and beyond.
Fantastic entry Emma, thank you and good luck! x
