A MOTHER is preparing to share her daily parenting experiences with the world.
Mum-of-three Emma Neilson, of Broome Manor, Swindon, has been selected from more than 1,000 mums to become one of the stars of a new social support networking site.
She will join four other mothers and their families on FiveFabMums.com and will share her experiences of bringing up her children.
The 30-year-old full time mum will be featured on the site for a year, along with her husband Mark, 39, who works for Aligra Personnel, and their children, Alicia, four, Gracie, two, and Sonny, five months.
The website will be launched on March 2 - Mother's Day - and will be one of the first websites of its kind to give real mums the opportunity to share their every day experiences.
Emma will blog her family's lives through video diaries, photos and web chat.
"After I had the children my world changed," said Emma, a former compliance analyst.
"Being a mum is great, but motherhood can sometimes be very lonely.
"This is why I am so excited to be part of such an important support network.
"It means all the family can be really involved with their lives, and keep up to date with their progress.
"I was looking for something for me to do and I think I'll be good at it.
"I've had the experience of having three children and it will be interesting to talk about how we deal with things.
"It'll be quite therapeutic to write things down."
From teething troubles, nappy nightmares and toddler tantrums to first steps, cute cuddles and tea time triumphs, motherhood will be shown in all its glory.
The website's aim is to provide mums with real advice from real mums, as well as friendship and fun, without having to leave their own home.
Parenting expert Dr Jenny Leonard said: "Many mums now live far away from their own mothers and have often given up a busy social life or taken a career break to have children.
"The internet in particular allows mums to feel connected to the outside world and to seek answers to parenting questions quickly and without feeling embarrassed or judged."
