For quite a lot of the people I 'socialise' with through social media, this weekend meant one thing and one thing only: CyberMummy. However, for me it meant one thing and one thing only: Summer Fayre.
Being a teacher doesn't only include the teaching hours that are the obvious part of the job, we are also directed to work other events as well such as parents' evenings and school fayres. Which is why, as much as I protested months ago that I wasn't interested in CyberMummy and it would feel like an INSET day, in the end I couldn't go because I had to paint eleventy billion pink butterflies on little girls' snotty faces.
And it turned out that when the decision was taken away from me, I actually really wanted to go.
Bum!
Anyway, I then tried to fill my weekend with as much fun and games in other ways that I could. Here's the proof:

We must go next year!! looks like you had a nice weekend anyway , looking at the photos. X
I felt like that last year about CM so I was glad to go this year. Those are wonderful painted faces though so just think how happy you made the children instead!
I missed out last year so was determined to go this year however, you're a good hand at butterflies and not a drop of snot in sight. see you at Cybermummy 12
Looks like a lovely weekend. I love the way you pull your photos together like that. I still haven't figured out how to do that fade-in- fade-out effect.
I'll try and remember to e-mail you about it.
I was sad not to see you there but maybe next year you could paint our faces??? Those are fab!
I have been asked to bring my face-paints. Not sure how that would really go down though.
pink butterflies on little girls faces sounds great!
Gutted you couldn't make it to CM. x
Thanks lovely.
Lovely pics! And there is always next year… (says the one who was not at Cybermummy either, but at a music festival!)
Lovely pics and I have to say… you are a butterfly painting whizz! What a lovely way to spend the weekend x
Determined to make it worthwhile!
I cant wait to be decorated as an emerald and gold butterfly next year! You're painting is awesome! Sorry you missed it, but do you know what Cybermummy didn't have a beach, or you.
Oh you old smoothie, you! Thanks Mrs!
Fab photos, next year we will be dragging you there, someone has to keep that Lexy in order 🙂
She does need sorting out from what I've heard!
I was sad not to go either so how about we both go next year and you make your fortune with those fab face-painting skills and give me half the money cos I came up with the idea?
Deal, although not to the money bit 'cos I wouldn't charge 🙂
Such a shame you weren't at CM as I would have loved to have met you but it looks to me like you had a great funfilled weekend.
Thanks lovely, I'm desperate to make it next year!
You look like you had a great time, my boys were really taken by Thomas (& the ice cream!)
i'm glad you had a good time anyway. next year, hopefully.
Great photos. I'm sure there will be other chances to meet your online chums.
Wow amazing face painting I want mine done!
Any weekend that includes the beach works for me, looks like it was a fun weekend. Mich x
You are very talented when it comes to face painting! Bet the children loved it.
I love seeing photos of The Boy. Only been following your blog for 4ish months and can see how much he's changed already.
Such a "grown up" little boy now.
It still looks like you had a jam packed enjoyable weekend!
