Welcome to #mamamondays… MAD Blog Awards, Mamas & Papas Liberty Collection and New Work

Continuing with my new regular post which will include anything that is making us happy – and hopefully you – even though it’s Monday.

It will be anything from what we’re doing or planning to what we’re eating, watching or reading. Items I’m lusting after or buying to anything else that inspires to make Mondays – and the rest of the week if need be – just a little more bearable.

Step forward #mamamondays 




EXCITED


So, I try not to talk about too many ‘blogging’ things here – but I really can’t keep this one quiet…

mamasVIB has been nominated and made it to the finals of the MAD Blog Awards! The MAD (mum and dad) Blog Awards are a little like the Oscars in the parenting blogging world. I kid you not (there is even a big glamorous awards do!)

mamasVIB is up for Best Pre-School Blog alongside four other fantastic blogs (see full list here) – so the competition is tough. Especially when you realise that over 5,000 different blogs were nominated for the 70 finalist spots…eek!

So, to say I’m excited, shocked and overwhelmed is an understatement. This is my first ever nomination for my blog – and I am truly thankful if you took the time to vote.

BUT, I need you to vote again…(please!)*. This time it’s for the winning place!

As much as it would be lovely (amazing, fantastic..) to take home the top prize being nominated really is  best – so, again I thank you for voting and what will be will be!

*Hint* If you would like to vote for mamasVIB for the Best Pre-School Blog go HERE!

* Pretty Please!

LOVING

If you follow mamasVIB on Instagram then you may have seen the sneaky peak of the new Mamas & Papas collection in collaboration with Liberty. I know, how exciting right?

This has to be one of my fave new collaborations in a long time – and although it doesn’t launch until  later this year in September I will have a bigger ‘sneak peak’ coming soon.

So, watch this space!

WORKING

I love being freelance – much more than I ever thought I would. Even though the days you don’t work you worry they may be your last – and then before yo know it you have several things to do all at once!

One thing I am doing this year is working on the Christmas Gift Guide for Superdrug again (read about last year here) – so, I want to apologise in advance if I’m not here as much as I would like.

But, I am probably knee deep in Christmas decorations (on most likely the hottest day of the year), chasing exclusive products to shoot and casting male models (ok, that may be a lie!).

See you on the other side….
