Britmums Live: I'm Going AND I'm babbling!

Yip... I'm babbling at Britmums Live. There I am. On the speakers list. Along with all of the cool people. I am NOT cool. Never have been, Never will be. God help me.

I will be the nervous, wildly hand gesturing, babbling one on the Pinterest discussion panel. I may even have vodka in my bag.

I made it a goal last year to be up on the stage somewhere this year, rambling on about Pinterest and how our PinAddicts challenge has changed the WORLD. And here we are.... on the stage people. Eeek!

So here goes with the officialness stuff:

Name: Kerry aka The Lovebump

Blog: My Lovebumps & PinAddicts Challenge

Twitter ID: @thelovebump

Height: 165cm. No idea in Feet.... 5.6 ish?

Hair: Dark Brown, hint of badly dyed red, balding. (I wish I was joking on the last one)

Is this your first blogging conference?

Nope, I attended Britmums last year and a couple of others too!

Are you attending both days?

Yip! Look out for me along with Maggy and Emma on the Pinterest Sesh**

What are you most looking forward to at Britmums 2013?

The speakers! The bloggers! The naked waiters! The Cake!
Oh, and this time... I booked accommodation, no more 3 hour train trips in the middle of the night for me! Can I get a whoop whoop?!

What are you wearing?

NO idea! *scribbles on list - find something AWESOME to wear*

What do you hope to gain from Britmums Live 2013?

A couple 'o pounds from the cake eating. Seriously..... I learnt an UBER amount of stuff last year.... I buzzed for about 3 weeks off the back of it. There is SO much to learn! Read my summary of last year's event HERE - 'Breathing Life into Blogging'

Tell us one thing about you that not everyone knows!

Erm... I had 3 children by the time I was 21.... Nope, I haven't appeared on Jeremy Kyle. *yet*

 Last year, I vlogged my introduction in 2 parts - if you wanna 'chat' with me, here goes!

Can my hair Rust Mom???

 

This child totally cracks me up... She is literally IN.HER.OWN.WORLD.

She entertains herself, lives life at her own pace and comes up with some of the weirdest stuff.

Yesterday, she walked into the kitchen after not muttering One Word after school and says...

"Mom.... Can my hair rust?"

Me: "Of course not Shan, why do you ask"

Shan: "Just wondering if that's why some people have red hair" 

Shrugs.Walks off.

For Real.

Later, in the shower, she beckons me with her foghorn of a voice (BIG voice, small child)

"MOOOMMMMM!!! MOOOMMM!!!"

" If you lie does your hair fall out? " 

Me: Eish. "Erm...  yes, yes it does" 

Her: "Ha! That's why all of your hair just fell on the ground because you're lying about lying!" 

For real.

Sometimes I wish I was in  her little world - it sounds like an exciting place to be.

What stuff do your sprogs come up with? Lemme know in the comments so I don't fear I am the only one with a weird child. 

Ps... I'm still Vlogging every day in June! Click HERE to see the craziness.

A Little Piece of Africa: Easy, Delicious Bran Muffins

And so begins the first post in my new little series... A Little Piece of Africa :) I originally hail from South Africa, Cape-Town to be exact and I am passionate about it's culture, food, wine, beautiful scenery, weather and awesome people.  Dave & I used to run a tour company out there so I have LOTS to share with you!

Starting with this...... Delicious Bran Muffins... Easy peasy and SCRUMMY too. I have no idea why they are considered S/African, but they are FULL of fibre and Great for breakfast, snacks, kids lunches - you name it... they Never last long around here :)

 I literally put ALL of those optional extra's into the mix. You just mix the whole lot together in a big bowl...

If you chuck in all the 'Optionals' you'll have enough for about 18 muffins

Perfect with a cuppa in the morning, or wrapped up for the kiddo's lunches, or for midnight munchies :)

psssttt!! Wanna know a secret? This mix NEVER makes it to the fridge.... we ALWAYS bake the whole lot and eat the whole lot. Nom Nom :)

If you decide to give them a go, post a pic on my Facebook page - I'd love to seeeee! Also, let me know what type of 'Africa' posts you would love to read about - I've got stacks to tell you!

Happy Thursday all!

For the Love of Pinterest - #PinItForwardUK

As most of you know I'm a total 'PinAddict' I even write a second blog along with six other amazing chicks, dedicated to all things Pinterest - The PinAddicts Challenge

The idea of the site is to 'Bring your Pinterest boards to Life!'

Pin It, Make It, Blog It, Share It, Link It! 

Instead of just sitting on our bums staring at all of the loveliness, I had a wild 3am moment of genius and decided to dedicate a monthly linky for bloggers to share their Pinterest makes, have fun while doing it and even be in the running for a crafty prize. 

I have a whole board dedicated to Pinterest projects for you to try .... from painting to sewing to upcycling to baking... you name it I've pinned it! This particular board has over 1700 followers and grows on a daily basis - Click HERE if you'd like to stay up to date with the latest pinspiration too :)

As part of the #PinItForwardUK campaign, I'm chuffed to bits to introduce you to another Fab Pinner - Emma's Diary... 

I particularly liked the Adorable Announcements board - ALMOST made me feel broody... and the 'Crafts for Kids' board is just amazing.... full of bright, colourful happiness and some great idea's for Father's Day which is just around the corner .... Eeeek!

Checking out new boards has spurred me on to try and organize my boards a little better.... I'm messy by nature (even though I hate it) and my boards could do with a little tweaking. PLUS it gives me a fabulous excuse to sit on Pinterest all day.

Are you on Pinterest? What do you love to Pin? Would you like to join our Monthly challenge? 

Please leave your link in the comments section so I can follow you and check out your boards! 

If you'd like to sign up for a Free Account - click HERE  - You'll fall in love with it instantly... trust me :)

Happy Pinning!
