After hesitating about pitching for sponsorship for Cybermummy11, I decided to take the plunge last week. A week of snowbound isolation had left me keen to meet up with my online friends again and to be part of such a significant event in the mummy blogging calendar.
Despite being a little uncertain about putting myself out there, I’m delighted I did because I now have a fabulous sponsor in the form of Little Dodo.
Little Dodo is an independent business for ‘bumps, babies and beyond’ run by Maddy and Owain Bennett, with the help and advice of their young sons Jonah and Alexander. Situated in the Northumberland market town of Hexham, the shop was born from a desire to provide useful, interesting and stylish products to an ever-growing market.
A look around their website reveals an extensive range of merchandise covering everything from bathtime to bedtime, clothing, feeding, toys, gifts and more. Already I am looking at gift ideas for my baby niece or nephew who will be born in January.
There’s also a Little Dodo blog which has contributed to Jay’s Silent Sunday and Josie’s writing workshop.
The team at Little Dodo have been a pleasure to deal with and I am thrilled to be representing an independent business. I’m really keen for Little Dodo to gain as much from this sponsorship arrangement as me, so you’ll see them mentioned here in forthcoming posts.
It was hard to contain my excitement when I discovered I would definitely be going to Cybermummy11. For those on twitter keen to know who my sponsor was, the clue came in the form of a tweet where I nearly blew our cover and made this announcement too early.
It has been a fabulous blogging year for me and one that has taken me from the luxury of the Lowry Hotel in Manchester to the mud huts of Cameroon. So securing sponsorship at this stage rounds it off perfectly.
Congrats on getting a sponsor!!
I need to get my butt in gear to get myself one so I can meet you there, among others! :)

How wonderful!
Well done for getting a sponsor. (I'd love one, but I somehow doubt anyone's going to want to pay for a transatlantic air fare....)
