So how is your weekend going? I woke this morning feeling exhausted! A week of non stop action juggling work and my two young daughters (and my nephew as it's half term!) and Saturday finally arrived. However as I woke feeling all smug that I had made it to the weekend in one sane piece I remembered that hubby had football until lunch time. The kettle went on and the strong coffee went down very nicely.
If you are a mummy yourself you will understand how exhausting it is to juggle everything on very little sleep. Don't get me wrong, I love my life and I love my children beyond words but I wish I had more hours and more energy and basically some time to myself. There is so much more that I want to get done.
My current projects include managing the fast growing Creativity Club which is lots of fun! I work with designers created really fab downloads and I host Creativity TV with Katy Godbeer. Day of filming is such a giggle! We get to show off club members cards which is really interesting. There is some serious talent out there.
I also offer tips and help to crafters who are interested in setting up a blog or who are interested in driving more traffic to their blog by using social media. Twitter, blogger, Facebook... as an experienced PR who is in love with social media I like to offer help.
Have you seen The Crafty Bloggers Network? No? Take a look on Facebook and request to become a member! I have never felt so inspired! There are so many wonderful, talented crafters out there and most of them I had never seen before until I created this group last year. Due to motherhood, I have been limited at what I can do but I manage it and with the help of Ema Goddard and Joanne Austin the Crafty Bloggers Network have a DT and a blog which was very much wanted by our members.
As I have already mentioned...i'm a mummy. Nevie-Rose has recently turned three and Myla is 19 months old tomorrow. They are both delightful but I have no idea where they get all their energy from! They do so much in a day but have never been keen sleepers (they get this from my husbands side of the family) so I get through the day on roughly 5 hours broken sleep, and I have done since 2009. I can't remember sleep! Until you have experienced this non sleeping lark I don't think you could never understand how tired and drained you can feel. It's not easy. It's a good job I love my daughters ;-)
Right off to look at the Crafty Bloggers Network blog now.
Love Emma x
