Well, now that I've got two minutes to myself I can finally tell you about Wednesday.
It was a normal school day morning and we were just getting our shoes on to go out of the door for the school run when my phone wooshed. I glanced at it and it was a Twitter announcement from the lovely Amanda Bootes saying that she had nominated me for the Liebster Awards!
So head on over to
and check out Amanda's amazing blog on music, food, life, travel and the odd list or two!
I am very new to blogging, and only just beginning to build up a list of blogs that I love to read, Amanda's is one of the one's I visit the most, and I am soooooo excited that she has nominated me for this award. Thank you Amanda x
