Awards, Carnivals and Adventures

Goodness me. I have got my first award. I am lost for words. I’d better get on with the re-design, so there’s some space for it somewhere.

The wonderful Almost American has passed this award on to me:

proximity award

According to the authors of this award, this blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

Thank you, Almost American! And now I need to pass it on to eight other bloggers. Well, you’ve probably all got one already, but… I pass this on to: More than just a mother, Tara at Sticky Fingers, Home Office Mum (see below for more about her), New Mum Same Old Me, Mothership of Motherhood: The Final Frontier, Iota at Not wrong, just different, Susanna at A Modern Mother, and Surprised and Excited Mum.

And, if you’re looking for some good reading and more blogs to add to your reading list… It’s Carnival Time over at Thames Valley Mums.

And, in my final bit of linkage, if you don’t already know about Home Office Mum’s incredibly exciting adventure:

you need to go visit More to Life Than Laundry and do whatever you can to support her, whether it’s donating, supporting her sponsors, or just spreading the word as far as  you can.

And finally… while Home Office Mum embarks on her sea-faring adventure, we shall be embarking on an adventure of a rather different nature, that of becoming a family of four, rather than three. Yes, R is going to be a big sister some time in October and I would therefore like to apologise in advance for any boredom that may ensue from reading about morning sickness, scans, baby names, hospital plans and birth plans. I will try to keep a balance, but you all know what these hormones can do to a girl.

It's carnival time!

Head on over to Laura Driver's Are we nearly there yet mummy? for the fortnightly British Mummy Bloggers Carnival. As always, there are some great posts to read (reminder to self... bookmark on netbook, so can read between games of Doctor and Schools) and you might even find some new blogs to add to your blogroll.

It's carnival time!

If you need a bit of reading to keep you warm amid the snow, or something to keep you amused while you wait for the washing machine to finish its cycle, or something to help you procrastinate, or if you just want to find some new Mummy and Daddy bloggers to add to your blogroll, then head on over to the witty and wonderful Jo Beaufoix's blog, where it's Carnival Time!

It's carnival time!

Head on over to Alpha Mummy for the latest British Mummy (and Daddy) Bloggers Carnival. The last one of these was what persuaded me to finally dip my toes into the Mummy Blogging waters and is also where I discovered many of the blogs on my blog roll. I have yet to read them all, though there are some great bloggers listed on there, so you're pretty much guaranteed to find something you like.
