The Annual "I Went to Britmums Live" Post- 2013 Edition

Wow guys!

I have to say, I have been to around 5 conferences over the years I've been blogging (at the first ever Britmums meet up at London Zoo, I only had one blog), from Cybermummy, to Blog Camp and then to Britmums Live. However, I have never, ever known one to be so, well, emotional.

I cried so much Saturday, I gave myself a stonking headache. I cried my darn make up off. (Apologies if I scared anyone).

I want to say though, it was OK to cry. It was what so many of us needed. Friend's of the never forgotten Kerry and Matilda-Mae. Those who had met them, those who had merely heard about their passing and felt empathy, emotion and feeling for their families.

The strength of support over the weekend, well, I do say sometimes that blogging can be a bit of a mindfield, friendship and angry moments wise, but not this weekend. We hugged, we laughed at certain bits. We were there for every single one of each other.

I have a few thank you's:

Is It Just Me: Who Thinks It's Time to Leave the Jackson Kids the Hell Alone?

I must start by saying I was a fan of Michael's music. I found his behavior a bit stranger with every year that went by, but you can't argue with how talented he was.

As anyone with less than normal parent's knows though, as a kid, you're not responsible for them or what they get up to, right?

Which is why I find it really sad, awful and shameful what has happened this week to Paris, Michael's middle child and only daughter.
