When I first told my Mother I was blogging, I received the familiar deer-in-the-headlights stare back at me. Not that my Mother isn’t familiar with the world of the internet but in her mind as in so many other’s blogging was just a diary online for people to share. I always find if you are not in the blogging world it’s hard to exactly understand all that goes into blogging and how it can become a full-time career. I have never worked longer hours, hard days, and had a more rewarding business in return. Yes, of course every job has a perk or two and one of those as a blogger are events.
I was ever so lucky to have my Mother visiting the same time I was going to attend the Mother’s Day Pandora Event #JustLikeMum in London this past week. What better way to introduce my Mother to the blogging world, a few friends, and show her what an event is like than to take her to a Mother’s Day event. Bonus. We never get to spend Mother’s Day in the UK together nor for our USA mother’s day so it was extra exciting. I couldn’t wait to show her what a fun event for bloggers was like having described it so many times.
Pandora didn’t miss a trick with their stunning location, Pandora splashed pad. We were greeted with delicious bubbles and mini treasure treats to eat. The food displays were as gorgeous as the jewellery itself. It was free flowing trays of afternoon tea walking pass throughout the day.
Everyone was so welcoming to my Mother being along for the ride too. We are both huge fans of Pandora already adorning our own bracelets for the special occasion. We couldn’t wait to have a little peak at the new collection and spot some lovely things for Mother’s Day. I have my eye on a ring and a new necklace while my Mother was drawn to the latest charms for her bracelet.
When I first read the invite and knew I could bring my Mother along I squealed at the two mini classes their were hostessing for the event too. Chocolate decorating class and flower bouquet making class. My Mother’s two passions it was like giving her the best Mother’s Day present already wrapped up in one event. We first tried our luck with the delicate frosting designs on mini square chocolate. My Mother’s expertise shined bright while mine looked more like a fourth grader’s project (still tasted delicious may I add).
We made our way over to the flower bouquet making class. The ladies were so lovely and helpful, guiding us through the various steps to create the best arrangement. It was so lovely to chat with new friends and see some familiar faces too at the event with my Mother. We kept laughing at our attempts to create beautiful bouquets. The flowers themselves were gorgeous enough to make it look good no matter how we threw it together.
It was one of those events that I didn’t want it to end. I got to introduce my Mother to the blogging world, introduce her to some amazing friends I have made along the way and new ones too. One of my favorite things about events is to meet so many inspiring ladies. I have made friends through blogging that will be in my life long after blogging.
We got to pour over the Pandora collection together and do some shopping together for Mother’s Day. What a perfect way to bond with my Mother in the process. We walked away with new memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you Pandora! Thank you to all the ladies that put together and ran such a perfect event for Mother’s Day!
Aw, I hope she had fun! Looks like there were great activities for you both to do x
This looks like such a lovely event – and so great that you got to take your Mum along too! x

Ah, how lovely that your mum was able to go with you to this, it looks like it was a fabulous day! I’d love to do something like the bouquet making – I never quite know how to arrange flowers, but your bouquet looks stunning!

It definitely was a treat for us both as I don’t get to see her often living in another country so we had a great time together as we always do. Thanks lovely.
What a dreamy looking day and how perfect to spend it with your Mom and other bloggers among such lovely things. #ShareWithMe
What a gorgeous day. And you are so right, it’s so hard to explain blogging! #Sharewithme
Wow, what a lovely thing to do with your Mum. I have never been to that show or heard of it. I am in the UK too. I see you are talking about the ideal home show as well on your blog. Now that’s a really good one too. Loads of free stuff!
What a beautiful event! I bet your mom had a wonderful time too, such a lovely treat for the both of you to enjoy xx

great that you were able to spend some time alone with your mom. I need to make more of an effort to do that soon.
How lovely that you have your mum to stay and isn’t blogging wonderful providing these brilliant events for you to share. It looks like you had a ball, I would have loved the chocolate decoration class.
The chocolate class was brilliant although less caffeine for me next time. hahah Had such a lovely time together. The event was beautiful.
Oh WOW! What a fantastic event and to go along with your Mum certainly made it sound that more perfect. I love Pandora too, I’ve had my bracelet for about 8 years now and still wear it daily! #ShareWithMe
Wow what a brilliant event – so lovely that you got to take your mum. Those cream cakes look fabulous and they really did pull out all of the stops with those two masterclasses – looks like so much fun. Those flowers are so pretty! xx

Aww how utterly perfect!! Lovely photos, sounds like you had a great time! #sharewithme
Well, yes, almost four years in and I still get the “deer in the headlights” look from my mother. Seems like you had a great time with Pandora. What an awesome opportunity for you both, Thank for hosting #sharewithme
Wow those cakes!! Yummy! It looks like it was a fab event.
It was a great event I was impressed and lovely to share it with my mother on such a special occasion.
It’s lovely that your mum is over for mother’s day, and that she got a chance to see what you do as a blogger – the event looks truly amazing! My parents are actively against me blogging and refuse to read my blog, which is really sad, so it’s nice to read stories like yours about open-minded mums. Jess xx
Looks like you and your mum had a lovely day! 🙂
We really did have the best time. It was great showing her what I do and get involved in as a blogger too. Lovely time with her in London.
Sounds like a lovely event & chocolate decorating looks so fun! #sharewithme
Jenny I am so glad you got to share this event with your mom. It sounds a perfect day with Pandora and I love your bouquet of flowers. Isn’t it lovely when we can share blogging events with our nearest and dearest. I remember taking my mum to the theatre last year for an event x
Oh my days, what an amazing day for you and your mum! Thanks for hosting #sharewithme
