Over the past few days I have seen many blog posts from all of the bloggers who have been lucky enough to make it through to the finals in the MAD Blog Awards and the Britmums Brilliance In Blogging Awards.

Unfortunately I haven't made it through to the finals ...... But I still wanted to say a massive 'Thank You!'

I've been blogging for less than a year, so just to be nominated in both awards means the world to me ...... let alone making it through to the short list for the BiBs!

It feels like a real achievement, so thank you so much to all of you who took the time to nominate, and vote for me.

Winners in the BiBs will be decided by judges, whereas the MADs will be decided by votes, so for those of you who enjoy my blog, I urge you to please take the time to go and have a look at the finalists in the MADs and to vote for your favourites.

There are some truly amazing blogs that will have you cheering, laughing and crying along with them ....... so, make yourself a cuppa (or something stronger) and get reading.

Thanks again, and who knows ...... maybe next year ........
