Hello there you lovely bunch you, so glad you could join us for the latest addition to the Rock My empire! (I obviously say this with a ahem, generous pinch of humour) we’re so glad you could join us and have been overwhelmed with the interest and social media activity we have experienced even before launch. You lot are ACE.
I wanted to begin by wishing you a very warm welcome and giving you the opportunity to take a look around this shiny happy new online escape, you will notice the archives are currently full of some of the most popular maternity filed features from Rock My Style so many of you will already have enjoyed these posts. However, we have brand new content coming this afternoon and every day after that and we sincerely hope that we’ll be creating the right balance of style and inspirational ideas as well as covering insightful parental experiences and advice.
In terms of the design and functionality we’ve endeavoured to create a platform that is simple to use on all devices, without losing our unique sense of brand identity. If there are any niggles with the menu or categorisation you don’t understand then please please do let us know – you can test these things until your eyes are square and your brain is mush but it’s nigh on impossible to eek out every tiny glitch.
For any of you that would like to get involved in Rock My Family, be it you have a story to tell, tips to share or perhaps products for review then you can reach us via the contact form by clicking on the contact button on the top right of the homepage. Alternatively drop us an email at hello@rockmyfamily.co.uk – we would absolutely love to hear from you!
Please do come back at 2pm for some super ideas for gifts for newborns (and Mamas!) to suit all budgets and requirements and if you are in a position to, have a glass of wine or a cocktail (or hell, even just a strong cup of coffee) as we will be celebrating with the same and clinking a huge cheers with our virtual glasses to you, our loyal and amazing community, for making this evolution of the brand possible.
In the meantime, meet the Rock My Family Team!

Good morning Rock My Family, this is going to be a fab site. Good luck with it x
Thanks so much Steph! x
Congratulations on the launch! I’ve been a reader since planning my wedding with Rock my Wedding and love Rock my Style too. Looking forward to having Rock Family to add to my daily read.
Sarah thanks so much for staying with us for long haul! We hope you enjoy the new blog x
Yay! So fresh and new and shiny! ?Nothing like a good ol’ Tuesday morning deployment to get your toes tingling!
And emojis! All the emojis!
???❤️????
@Adam – The sidebar navigation isn’t working for me. I’m using the latest version of Safari on an iPhone 5s iOS 9.0.2
Hurrah a glitch!
(it’s sorted – good spot Lynsey :))
Not a technical glitch but your title Rock My Family |Uk baby, children and family blog – UK needs to be both capitals not small k (spotting little typos is the job that I do for National Geographic channel!) x
Ha hahahahaha 🙂
Adam will look into the menu x
Lookong forward to a 2pm browse whilst (fingers crossed!) little one has his nap!
Thanks Rebecca! fingers crossed for nap time xx
Congratulations. Much anticipated round these parts, looking forward to the ride!
Cheers Philippa, we are very much feeling the pressure this morning but all good so far! (Might need gin by Midday…) x
Make mine a sloe…
Oooh, sounds good! Count me in x
The site looks great, love the category icons, so cute!
Thanks Katy. They are lovely aren’t they. The little owl is known as ‘Mabel’ around here as Charlotte thinks it looks like her! x
Congratulations I was hoping you’d head in this direction! I have been a fan of your style since the CAOS wedding posts many moons ago, now you’re head of your own dynasty! ? Can’t wait to see lots of lovely posts. Things I’d love to see if you don’t mind be saying are breast feeding based posts, tips for daily organisations of littles with full time job and other general living and achieving work life balance.
Emma…..Hello! Also Dynasty – this made me LOL. DO I get to wear a sequin dress with shoulder pads like Barbara Carington? 🙂
And there might just be my very own breastfeeding post heading your way tomorrow…..x
Loving this already! I loved the maternity posts on rockmystyle and read them while pregnant with growing excitement and now Darcey is here this is perfect!
Yay thanks Sarah! And congratulations on Darcey! x
yay it’s live!!!!!
Very excited! Rock my wedding helped me plan our amazing (and very us) wedding day; Rock my style have me lots of fashion ideas (and inspired me to start blogging) and now Rock my family to keep me inspired through motherhood with my two toddlers!
Xxx
Cheers Lora! SO glad you like it and that we inspired you to blog! x
Congratulations to all at the RM empire. This is super exciting, not least as I’ve been on the journey with you since RMW, RMS and now RMF. All relevant to significant periods of my life and no more so than now. Have thoroughly enjoyed all the maternity/ baby posts on RMS using lots to inspire me (ahem, many purchases) during pregnancy and motherhood. Looking forward to something fresh in parenthood and watching the RM community grow. Thank you.
Our pleasure Emily, I am so pleased we could be your enabler 🙂 x
Amazing new venture, I will be bookmarking this as one of my go to MAMA blogs in the future. looks beautiful xxxx well done super mamas
Thanks Joanna. Looking forward to sharing lots of loveliness with you xx
So proud of the rock my ltd team!! Excited does even hit the sides!!!! Xx
Thank you gorgeous girl! xx
Looking forward to a brand new blog to read every day! I’m a RMW graduate too. What next Rock My Pension?!
Haha, love that idea!
Erm……We do actually own rock my retirement (!!!) I’m not even joking – when I bought a zillion websites all those years ago this was my Dad’s recommendation!! x
Congrats gang. So happy RMF is here… It’ll be great for me to get a little bit of early inspiration for the road ahead.
I’m sure I’ll be popping along to share some tales along the way too. Good luck! xx
Karen…We would LOVE you to share your tales – if you want to. Drop us a line at hello@rockmyfamily.co.uk xx
Super excited about this. Finally something cool and inspiring aimed at us boring people with children 😉
Nicola there is NOTHING boring about having children….I have never been so knackered/crazy/busy in my life 🙂 x
I agree! Especially being a self employed Mummy, but I I definitely get the feeling lots of people/companies write you off once you’re a parent! x
Wooo! Love it! Really excited about this ????
Thanks for the pineapple love Kate!
Firstly congrats on the latest Rock My… adventure!! Can’t wait to see more. Have to add that I think Sarah above is my twin…I’ve also followed since RMW then RMS and I now also have a Darcey! We sound like the same person! ☺️ Sx
Haha! This is brilliant 🙂 So happy to have you along for the ride 🙂
Congratulations! This is very exciting! Love the Monday family posts on RMS and would love to contribute!
What a beautiful space for something for the amazing mama’s and papa’s out there. I totally know all my friends and family with little’uns will love this site. Congratulations on the new adventure RMW team! you’re awesome xx
Thanks Sundari. We hope they love it too x
Loved RMW while planning my wedding and now very much looking forward to this to match my new state of affairs (and plentiful bags of baby wipes and soft toys!) x
Baby wipes and soft toys are an essential accessory now don’t you know?! x
I have a baby due to arrive on the weekend so I hope my friends and family take a look at the feature this afternoon!
Congratulations Catherine – you’ll have to tell us when baby arrives so we can all share in the good news xx
I’m a newbie and very excited to see what’s to come xx
Hello! Lovely to have you along with us xx
My lunch breaks just got longer…where to go first?!!! good luck all x
Eeeek sorry Lizzie! Perhaps you should have some kind of dice to throw to choose where to visit first. In fact perhaps Adam should come up with a Rock My Ltd DIY Dice Download…
Beautiful site! I’ve been with you guys from planning my wedding with RMW, all the pretty on RMS and now you couldn’t have timed the launch of RMF any better… Perfect for devouring the content during the long night feeds with my one week old Freddie! X
Wow congratulations Vicky! SO exciting!
Looks another fab site RMW team! Looking forward to reading the all new family stuff. Have been with you guys since Rock My Wedding. Xx
Just intime for baby number 2! Yey!!!
Welcome to the word Rock My Family 🙂 x
Oh my god… typo city!!! This is what going to bed at 1am, awake at 3am from the dummy falling out the bed and 6am wake up does to you!!!
Welcome to the world Rock My Family 🙂 x
My night was similar Ebony, Midnight for a bottle (?!) 2am for loss of dummy and then 4am because well…I have no idea, she just wanted to be in our bed I think….! x
And this Charlottle is exactly why your new baby is gonna rock!! Sharing stories of a crazy parallel universe to make us mammas realise we’re really not alone!! ? Cheeky little Mabel x
‘Welcome to the world’ has to be my favourite comment Ebony as this most certainly is our baby 😉
Hope you manage to catch up on some zzzz’s later xxxx
? it certainly is!
Ahhh… I’m sure I’ll catch up one day. Sleeps for wimps anyway ? x
Hurray!!! So thrilled to see all you lovely mamas (and daddies too!) over here. It’s going to be one hell of a journey!
So excited about this, 1st is due on Monday and have loved all the maternity /parenthood posts on rms (and I may still read rmw despite being married for 2 years, it’s all so pretty…) Can’t wait to see what rmf has in store
Ohh keep us posted on the arrival Louise xxx
Congratulations on another great adventure! I’ve loved following the “Rock my” journey, we both got married at Notley Abbey and my daughter is 19 months old ? x
Notley Abbey is truly gorgeous Hayley I bet you had a beautiful wedding. 19th months old is such a fun age, they are really coming into their own, I bet you have the best time with her 😉 xx
It’s here! It’s happened!
So so excited and happy that this blog is out in the world, love the way Rock My… Has grown as a brand and keeps pace with changing lives while still holding true to the original values of beauty and kindness.
Lots of topic ideas, but I would really like one about sharing image of little ones online. My gorgeous Silvia is six months now and I love popping her antics on social media but get regular pangs of guilt- my Instagram goes from private to public every other day! So help please ?
Ah thanks Lucy S 🙂
It’s a tricky one isn’t it as obviously you are bursting at the seams with pride & joy & want to share those precious moments. Could certainly be a good discussion point xx
Yay!! New site looks fab!! Well done 🙂 Been a follower of RMW and RMS and they’ve fallen perfectly in time with the goings on in my life so RMF is perfectly timed too, thank you! Shall be encouraging other mummy friends to read. It’s also great timing today specifically as I spend another day on the sofa watching cbeebies (of course I was never going to do that…ha!) with my poorly boy who is full of snot…whilst trying to work (luckily I wfh anyway) !!
Ah Cbeebies, I remember watching that tirelessly with my first, Elliott, luckily my second, Joseph progressed to Playhouse Disney as I just couldn’t stomach the reruns anymore! Today
I’m sat with my third, Anabelle watching Disney’s Tangled which feels like an absolute treat!
Hope your little boy feels better soon xx
Thanks Lorna, i’m sure we’ll move on to something else in time…!! He is only 17 months so plenty more of these days to come i’m sure 🙂 xx
Congratulations on the next chapter! I loved Rock my wedding when planning mine 4 years ago and now this…just in time for our new arrival in 4 weeks! Looking forward to reading more xxx
Ah congratulations Mim, keep us posted when your little one arrives xx
Well, this is all a little bit fabulous! It’s so lovely to see a brand that you’ve followed from the very beginning just grow and grow all the while remaining as brilliant as ever.
Hurrah and congratulations
Hx
Thanks Holly! Big Kiss x
Hurrah! Another RM triumph – really looking forward to all you offer…
I am a brand new Granny (boy born 24/9 to my beautiful daughter)
How about a Granny section? As an online marketer myself, I’d be happy to volunteer 🙂
Hello Annie *Waves* – you know this is a very good idea! x
Wooo! Very excited for this, to add to my reading of RMS of course (and occasional glimpses at RMW as well, despite being married for over 2 years now!). I love your websites, and the marvellous community of followers you have created. Best of luck, and I look forward to reading all the new posts – couldn’t be better timed as I will be 35 weeks on Thursday! x
Congratulations Annie! Not long now….lots of love and luck to you x
Brilliant! I’ve been so looking forward to this, it’ll come as a welcome escape when my 10 month old is sleeping 🙂 Well done! x
Fingers crossed for nap time Audrey! We hope to have a mix of shorter and more “take time to read” features that should fit in with littles activities x
Eeek well done guys! The site is gorgeous and the pics are lovely! Like I said even though I am without the small people I will still look forward to reading and catching up with all your adventures! Lots of love and congrats xx
Bless you thanks Alex, we’ll definitely be sharing the adventures x
CONGRATULATIONS on the launch of your new venture!! Huge fan of the Rock My empire and this is just wonderful timing for me! Can’t wait for all the inspiration/advice/insights into this new, exciting world that my husband and I will be joining in January!! Good luck to all involved! Holly Mia xx
Congratulations Holly! You’ll definitely have to soak up as much as you can before baby arrives – hopefully we’ll be sharing lots of vital info. For now put your feet up, January will come quicker than you think xxx
Yay, this is brilliant – massive congrats, guys! I imagine this has been a huge heap of work but what a result. I’m soo looking forward to reading this – am currently 17 weeks pregnant but on sick leave due to hyperemesis so any entertainment is hugely appreciated, especially very pretty entertainment a la Rock My Empire! Can’t wait to read more. 🙂
Ekkkkkkk Kate!! Congratulations!! I’m so sorry to hear you’re really suffering – I don’t think people realise how crippling sickness can be – I hope you are ok and fingers crossed you won’t have it for your whole pregnancy.
(We’d love to see your wedding photos too btw!!)
Fern x
Oh thank you so much Fern! Am starting to get through the worst of it but it has been amazingly awful, not gonna lie. It’ll be all worth it when little bub comes out though. 😉
Our lovely tog has put up some photos of our wedding here – http://www.tastino0.it/katie-rob-destination-wedding-in-villa-catignano-siena/ – when I get well again, will def try and submit to RMW. 🙂 xx
SO excited RMF is live and it’s so lovely to read everyone’s comments 🙂
This is going to be such a wonderful place for parents to come and feel a little bit less insane!
I’m also loving how many of you still check in with RMW 🙂 there’s a wedding this afternoon that you’re all going to LOVE – it involves copious amounts of pineapples…
Fern x
Wishing you all the best in this new adventure… I was an avid reader of Rock My Wedding when I was preparing for my big day and am delighted to have stumbled across Rock My Style and now Rock My Family! I’m confident it will be a huge success. x
Thanks Clare! We hope you will become an avid reader of RMF also x
This will make such a great night (and day…) read when I am feeding the Little Miss. Very excited about what you have up your sleeve! xx
Thanks Dora (great name!) We plan to be doing a bit of VERY late night/early morning posting on our FB page, we completely appreciate all the Mamas that are up at that time….x
Yay! So glad this has launched and I look forward to reading more fab posts. Baby James is 3 months old now, so it’s great to have another blog to read during night feeds or naptime! Good luck with this latest venture guys, as always, I’m sure it will be fabulous Xx
Congratulations! Rock my Wedding saw me through my own wedding and Rock my Style has seen me through many a dull commute and given me heaps of inspiration so I’m sure this venture will be just as brilliant. A few days after you announced the launch of RMF I found out I was pregnant for the first time after 3 years of trying. It’s still very very early so you are one of the first to know so shhhhhh. So if you could just launch Rock My Lottery Win now I’d be a very happy lady 🙂
Oh huge congratulations Sophie. That’s amazing news. We can keep a secret don’t worry! Leave it with us and we will see what we can do!! xx
So late to the party but know it’s not too late to say hello! The site looks fab girls and boy. So exciting for the next part of the Rock My journey x
I have so been looking forward to this launch! Like many others I was a follower of RMW and we were lucky enough to have our small and simple wedding featured on your pages. I have loved reading RMS and this blog will make the perfect trio. We are hoping to try for our own family next year and I know Rock My Family will have bucket loads of advice to guide me through the adventure! x
I LOVE IT!! Love the layout and the look of the blog, similar in style to your RMW and RMS blogs but different at the same time 🙂 Can’t wait to follow this and get pinning (especially for nursery ideas for J when he finally gets his own room)!! Congratulations to you all!! x
Yay, I have been solo excited for this launch! Can’t wait to get my daily fix of another RME(Rock My Empire) page! Thanks a million for your ever brilliant ideas and knowing what we want before we even know it!
HUGE congratulations, guys! The new site looks wonderful 🙂 The entire team must be super proud! I’d love to see/read some daddy-related posts in the future x
