Saturday night, BritMums Live! was brought to a close by the reading of 13 blog posts by their authors. Hundreds of posts were nominated and the 13 bloggers brought the room of nearly 500 bloggers, sponsors and volunteers to tears on a number of occasions. This is what blogging is all about and we are so proud to be able to give such wonderful writers a platform to share their best work.
Please visit the bloggers and their posts to read their lovely, inspirational, hilarious and heart-warming words again.

Also, we had Ben Tipping, of Mutterings of a Fool (@TheFoolTweets) who was scheduled to read “Having it all is not just a woman’s dilema“. Ben had to race home like a galant husband/father to tend to his family. Please read Ben’s important post however.
The Blogger Keynote is something that really brings the importance of blogging out…hearing the authors reading their words is so powerful. We can’t wait to see what it brings next year for BritMums Live! 2013!

I was really disappointed that I had to pull out of this session. I was supposed to present my One Fine Day video blog post (I know it's cheeky, but it's here if you want to watch it: http://www.chezmummy.com/2012/02/one-fine-day-show-real-video-challenge.html)
Because I had to leave early I also missed everyone else reading their posts so I'm really glad you've published links to them all. I will make sure I get round them all...and have some tissues handy.
Thanks for organising a great conference.
