I never know what you should write in these pages. So Hello, Good Evening and Welcome to Cambridge Mummy. The blog of a mummy blogger who lives in Cambridge. It’s an innovative title isn’t it?
Before we go any further together, please note that this is my personal blog. If you are looking for Liz Weston, Founder of Weston Communications, Queen of connecting people and making things happen, you’re in the wrong place. The right place, for me looking and sounding all conquering is http://www.westoncommunications.org.uk
Now that disclaimer is out of the way, I’ll get going. I’m Liz Weston, aka @TheLizWeston on twitter. By day I’m, well, Ian Peacock (Chairman of Mothercare) recently said that I was a “fire starter” so I’ll go with that definition. And by night I’m on twitter with Sarah Brown (yes, the Sarah Brown) discussing the merits of her bringing her friend George Clooney (yes, the George Clooney) to Mummy Blogger events as it would make me a very happy bird…
That’s the short version. The longer version is:
Personal Stuff
I am married to Lovely Bloke who I met through internet dating.
We live in Cambridge.My mum and dad think it’s a lovely part of the world. To me, it’s nice because we’re 10 mins from A&E when we need it – I figure with two adventurous souls for children, they’ll soon hold a seat for me permanenetly.
Lovely Bloke and I have two boys who are nearly 5 and 3.5 years old – E and W.
I work full time.
I am self employed so the statement above translates to “I work full time hours plus lots more…”
I spend lots of my time in my online life as I work from home most of the time….
Work Stuff
I founded Weston Communications in 2008, producing New Baby Guides for NHS Maternity Units.
I co-founded the Young Families Baby and Toddler Shows with a Dear Friend, Dr AKT in 2009
I launched Weston Consultancy in 2010 as I found that everyone wanted me to do PR, Marketing and Communications work for them and I couldn’t go on being bought cake and coffee in return for my input forever.
I bought UK Baby Shows in August 2011 and it’s a big project for us in 2102, along with the New Baby Guides, which are another of our businesses.
One of our most well known clients is The Baby Show We provide marketing, comms and consultancy support on an ongoing basis. You can find us on twitter, facebook, blogging and in our radio show podcasts. It’s brilliant to have such a great platform for communicating with so many people at a life changing time in their lives. I love it. So go I go on about it a fair bit ;)
What else shall I tell you about me?
In February 2011 I had my hair cut from below shoulder length to very short indeed. Lovely Bloke is still trying to get used to it. Most people have said it’s great, but a couple of dear friends have said I should grow it. I agree with the latter. But I’ve had a go at it, and that’s what counts… Thankfully, it’s now shoulder length but needs to grow a lot more before I’ll be back to happy with it…
I’m doing couch to 5k and have a 10K run date in my mind for July. I’m booked on so I have to stick to it.
That’s all I can think of at the moment, because a) it’s late and b) i don’t want to tell you everything too early on, do I? ;)
