My love came from Latte Mum whose blog I just adore. The blog itself is beautiful, it really is, sometimes I visit just to admire the design! But it doesn't stop there, Latte Mum has a beautiful way of expressing what it means to be a Mum, I love following her journey. So do yourself a favour, grab a cuppa and go visit the lovely Latte Mum's site you wont be sorry :)
I am feeling a little extra warm and fuzzy just because of the name of this award - I just love the song A little ray of sunshine by Aussie band Axiom - actually I have it playing in the background as we speak - here why don't you enjoy as well... :) Anyway, I often use it in cards when baby girls are welcomed into this world and it was one of the first things I said to Matilda's Dad after she was born. So this recognition is just that little bit more special :)
With the award comes some responsibility, I must now pass on the award to my favourite blogs (pity I cant pass it back to Latte Mum!). There are a few Mummy bloggers in here, but I have included some of my other favourites as well. I hope you find something here you like :)
- The Imagination Tree creative play and learning for kids - A great blog for those of us that are a little less than creative but want to get hands on with our munchkins.
- Play at home Mom - more play based learning ideas from a group of clever Mums.
- Little Grazers delicious food for little hands - great recipe ideas for us BLW mums!
- Finding that place called home - Another beautiful blog, this one about a little bit of everything - being a mum, food and a lovely natural life in a beautiful part of the world.
- Healthy Happy Life - amazing recipes! The Sweet potato burgers are to die for...
- Wordwood - a place where I go to escape into a beautiful world and watch my friends create their dream.
- Neilwrites - this guy is funny, intelligent and downright interesting!
Ok, so that's only eight, not the 10 I am supposed to do but I find it hard enough keeping up with these ones! If I think of others I will add them, promise.
As with any award there is always a catch - with this one I am required to let you know 10 things you might not know about me, so here goes:
- As mentioned above I love the song A little ray of sunshine, it and Hallelujah when sung by KD Lang are the only two songs that can bring me to tears.
- My husband and I have known each other since we were 15 - but we were not 'high school sweethearts'.
- Once we were 'together' we spent a total of three years living in different states!
- My sister is my best friend. Followed closely by some other amazing chicks!
- I have the most extended family known to man.
- I have a 'thing' about getting in and out of the same side if the bed, something that my husband only realised last night!
- Every year my Mum buys me a bottle of perfume and the latest in Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta series. Its not Christmas if that doesn't happen.
- I had a miscarriage in 2010 - it sucked.
- I feel complete when I am near the ocean.
- While I am happy not to drink while feeding my gorgeous little girl the first drink I will have once she is weaned (whenever that might be) will be either a Kahlua straight up with loads of ice or a Frangelico, freshly squeezed lime and ice, followed by whichever one I didn't have first. I will then probably pass out as it has been so long!
- Include award logo in blog post and thank the blogger who gave it to you & include link back
- Answer 10 questions about yourself or list 10 facts about you
- Nominate approximately 10 bloggers for the award and contact them to inform them
