Thank you so much for thinking of me.. I guess I am a bit of a Blogaholic lol!
I was nominated for the Blog-aholic Award by the gorgeous and talented Beauty and the Ballroom. If you have not checked out her blog, I strongly suggest it, her adventures in ballroom dancing and day to life are not only enchanting, but her support as a member of the blogging community is met by very few.

The creator of this award is The Recipe Hunter. The Recipe Hunter’s blog is full of recipes, so if you are into cooking make sure to check her out! The rules for this award go as follows:
– Put the above award logo/image on your blog
– List the rules
– Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog (it can be to the post in which they nominated you or any other post or you can even link to their “About” page)
– Mention the creator of…

It’s been a while since I posted an awards acceptance, but I had to take part in this one, as it was a new one for me from my dear blog sis, Erika!
Have you happened upon her blog? If you haven’t, please do go and visit her, and follow, for some wonderful positivity filled posts, and pearls of wisdom, via her Daily quotes!
She’s a fantastic poet, and singer too, and full of romance!
You haven’t popped over yet? Seriously? Go now, and come back to my post!!!
Ok, I am going off the point here! Where was I?
Oh yes, the Award!
“This award is for bloggers who strive to write for everybody, and no matter how many viewers they get, make an impact on a reader. This award is an expression of gratitude to the nominee. It should be awarded to anybody that you choose deserves it and it doesn’t mean that they must have hundreds of followers and likes.” – Ella

The rules….
- Anybody nominated can nominate eight other bloggers.
- The nominee answers three questions posed by the nominator.
- The questions you ask while nominating can be any three questions.
If any of the questions asked are offensive or the nominee simply does not want to answer, the nominee does not have to answer them to earn the award.
[And I would add: notify your nominees about their nominations at their blogs].
I am sorry, I am a bit rubbish at nominating others, but those of you that I follow, I follow for a reason, because you are amazing with your writing, and you should all consider yourselves nominated!
And the Questions that Erika asked…
What do you love most about yourself?
I find that very hard to answer… but I guess my positivity is one of the biggest plusses in my nature!
What do you love most about someone who challenged you the most? (No irony, I mean it!)
I love the fact that ‘he’ is still here, by my side, through a hell of a lot of ups and downs.
What do you love most about your current life?
I love so many things about life right now, My Hubby, my children, my family, my cat, my job, my blogily….
🙂
And if you wish to take part, the 3 questions I will ask, which you can answer in the comments, are as follows…
- Which blog post of yours has been the most personally touching? The post you feel has hit a nerve with many?
- Have you ever done anything that you have regretted, but learned a huge lesson from?
- What is the number one thing on you life bucket list to do?
Thank you again Sis! 🙂

Today was wonderful and I can’t believe it’s already over 😥
I am most proud and extremely thankful to those of you that voted…
I got second place in my Category Best Overall Blog Award!
There were some huge blogs I was up against so I was so amazed!
Still speechless… (well as gobsmacked as a chatterbox like me can!)
Still, I phoned my Hubby Dearest to let him know the good news and he was so happy for me, and my Lil Man and Lil Princess were jumping up and down, because “You know mummy, second the best!” followed by “Did you get anything??!!”
I said I got lots of claps and cheers, and a tee-shirt!

And I was lucky enough to also win a bracelet from Barb Taub!

I regret that I took hardly any photos but there are a few of my core blogily Erika, Judy and Rich, who I met for the first time in person!
And of the organisers, Sacha, Geoffles, Hugh and Ali!
A wonderful masterclass too by Luca Sartoni, a Growthketeer at Automattic, who gave us some great tips on connecting social media to our blogs, and some interesting info regarding reblogs, and PressThis!
We ended up having to leave a little early, but the time we spent was worth it, every second!
My only regret… not being able to sing “We Are Blogily”!
Sacha/Geoffles/Hugh/Ali – I didn’t get to write in the guest-book, but next time can we have karaoke too??!! 😉
Meeting some brilliant bloggers, and writers, and putting voices and faces to names… I can’t wait to do it all again next year!
Open your diaries, ande book the date NOW!
10th June 2017 will be the Annual Bloggers Bash Awards take 3!!!!!!
Right, the excitement and general craziness has hit me now.. I think I need my bed!
Til Tomorrow Peeps!!!!!
