It’s been a long time since I have posted a truly personal blog post and I am a little nervous to say the least, so I do hope that these proves to be helpful for business owning parents out there.
Ever since I started Whimsical Wonderland Weddings I have been a parent. I was a full time mummy to A, who was 6 months old at the time I set up the blog, which was 9 and a half years ago now. I was planning our wedding (which incidentally didn’t go ahead) with much aplomb, in fact anyone who knows me well, knows I don’t do things half heartedly. So in my typical way, off I went to the internet for ideas, inspiration and community. I think I felt there was some kind of yearning in me to find connections outside of being a mum and being the first of my friends to have a baby, a lack of self confidence and my own health issues, I didn’t really get out much. The internet was waiting, with it’s online wedding offering still fairly in its infancy, but I was enthralled, excited and hooked from the get go. So much so, that I began Whimsical Wonderland Weddings on a bit of a whim, to start blogging about the wedding plans we were making and the lovely things I was finding. Then I started to make online mates and began featuring real weddings. From there WWW grew and blossomed into a business, which was all kinds of crazy wonderful, unexpected and busy! Sponsored Ads

Whether or not timing wise it was ideal to start a business with a baby, I cannot tell you....
