Thank you mummy big bum

10 Comments

I stumbled across a new blog recently called Mummybigbum. She’s  fairly new to blogging and writes some great posts, I was most surprised today to find out that she had givenme a Leibster blog award, the award for blogs that have less than 200 followers and that the nominator feels that blog deserves more attention. So thank you so much, the award came at a time where I felt that actually no-one was reading so I was toying with the idea of giving up, you’ve given me inspiration to carry on.

 

All I have to do now is spread the love to 5 deserving blogs so her goes

castawaywithdreams  is a beautifully written blog and it always has yummy cakes on it

dandilionsducksanddoughnuts This chicha loves her junk food, trashy tv and a good G&T  that alone deserves an award

fatherhooduncensored It’s lovely to see and read about being a new parent from the daddies point of view

Amsterdamummy This blog is my lifeline on all things dutch

mrsslummymummy Love this blog and her strange taste in christmas music

 

So there you have it. thank you again for my award I’ll cherish it and keep my feet on the ground

Over at mumofone JB has done a fabby listography of her top 5 toys. I was going to follow suit but I couldn’t for the life of me decide on our top 5 mainly because our living room looks like this most of the time!!

us on a good day

 So moi, in my wisdom, has come up with an alternative, mainly because I’m hungry and I need to do anything to stop myself from eating chocolate. Where was I? OH yes, LPV loves books so I decided to share his top 5 book he loves.

In at #5 (cue old top of the pops chart music and red rimmed Mike Read glasses

As I was saying #5 Everywhere Babies by Susan Meyers 

It’s a lovely little rhyming book and LPV loves it
