Hi Kelly,

Just found your blog. I covet being a fun mum but often fall short!

I was shocking reminded of this when I attended a drop in morning at my 4 year olds preschool. They had been talking about families and each child had written a few words about their families. Think “my family loves playing at the beach” tact. My bear had written “my dad is always doing funny stuff and my mum is alway cross at Pommy (sic Tommy) and Ruby”. I was devo.

I have been very busy launching my website, GroupPrezzie have a looksee at my animation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y8M9vbtDEk but it was a great reminder to be present and make it fun.

Well done with your blog and the way you are living your life!

Kelly Be A Fun Mum July 23, 2012 at 12:32 pm: Hi Rachel. Just popped over to have a look at the website. What a great idea! I’ll be sure to keep it in mind when it comes to Christmas group presents and tell my facebook likers about it.

Hi Kelly,

Wow your words strike such a chord, it is like I am reading my own words! We have an awful lot in common, along with also having three girls and a boy, I am also a creative person who is always encouraging my kids to be creative.I also love nature and decided to move to Magnetic Island to provide a great outdoors lifestyle for our children. I am always striving for routine, but often off in my own creative world and recently admitted to my doctor I was depressed – my experience of this was very much like your own. I am thinking of starting a blog, and yours has given me a lot of inspiration, thank you.

Kelly Be A Fun Mum July 23, 2012 at 12:30 pm: Hi Rebekah. Thanks for such a lovely message. I’m so glad you found me here! Isn’t it wonderful that we can connect in this way. It sounds like you’ve made a wonderful choice for your family. I’m a little jealous in fact! HA! Sounds awesome. Don’t be a stranger here!

Hi Kelly, I have just found you and would love to know more about being a sponsor and also your product review.
I have a lovely little store at Miami and love any sites that promote the Gold Coast.
We have only been open just over a year and are still working hard to get our name out there. Our store is only small but we have lots of lovely products for babies and kids. We love natural and organic products. wooden toys and more. Best of all we love what we do.
I am a nanna to my 2 gorgeous grand kids Madison and Josh and my daughter Sarah is involved in he business with me so it is a little family affair.
Look forward to hearing back from you Cheers Julie

Morning,
I am enquiring about advertising on your blog. Our new website Handmade HQ should be ready to launch in September and looking at some new advertising options.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Kelly, just writing to see if there was any chance you could do
a blog on knowing when the time is right to have another child.
I’ve been tossing up the thought with my husband for ages and
we’ve gotton to the point where we don’t know what we should be
asking ourselves to know if we are ready or not. We already have
two children.

Love your site! I have just started a blog after baby no 2. It is getting great feedback but it is very simple and I wish I could create a page like this!

Hi Kelly
Am loving your Facebook and Blog! Thank you for taking the time to share.

I was looking around yesterday and found an article along the lines of things to do if you are too busy – eye contact, getting at kids level etc. I was telling a work colleague about and came back to find it but don’t seem to be able to – are you able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Deb

Kelly Be A Fun Mum January 9, 2013 at 10:12 am: Hi Deb

Hi Kelly,

Just found your blog through a friend on Facebook. What an encouragement you are!! Thankyou. I have been really struggling lately – I have a nearly 4 yr old son, a 2 and 1/2 yr old daughter and a 6 month old son. I love them all so much and yet at the same time find myself often completely shattered and cross. I so want to be more fun, and not so stressed all the time. I just feel at the moment life is so busy and constant with house work and just getting the mundane stuff done each day. And I really struggle with guilt and high expectations of myself. ANYWAY all that to say I found so many or your ideas/ suggestions really helpful. I hope and pray I can implement some of them in my family and we learn to have more fun in the midst of all the craziness!! Thanks alot:)
Bless ya

I just found your blog and am very impressed with your content and strong following. Do you have a media kit or promotion pack you can send? I did not find anything on your site.
Best regards,

Kelly Be A Fun Mum January 28, 2013 at 8:14 pm: Hi Dave, would you mind just dropping me an email at beafunmum@gmail.com and I’ll email you back from there.

Hi Kelly,

I love, love LOVE your website and how you live your life with your family. You are one inspirational lady. You tell it like it is and I have found your craft/decorating ideas brilliant! particularly enjoy the flowers/pearls etc as I think flowers in a house make it a home (and I can only afford the one’s from the garden!).

Hugs lovely lady and know that you are amazing/inspriational/kind/caring.

Kelly Be A Fun Mum March 22, 2013 at 11:24 am: Dear lovely Sarah.

It means so much to me that you took the time to write this comment. Sometimes, you throw things out into cyberspace, not knowing really who is out there…so thank you for saying hi and your encouragement. xx

Hi Kelly,
I found your website through a link on Life on a Hill.
I am a mother of 5 and designer of the Ready2Roll Pregnancy Pillow. I have a 2 min video on my website which shows how this double sided, adjustable design improves sleep in pregnancy. It can’t fall off the bed, allows plenty of space in the bed for your husband and is adjustable for a perfect fit. Would you be interested in a review/give away? Maybe you have a friend that could trial the pillow for a review. http://www.rrpregnancypillow.com.au

Kelly Be A Fun Mum March 22, 2013 at 11:25 am: Hi Alison. I’m not doing reviews at the moment.

All the very best.
