To say I am shocked is an understatement - mainly because I still think my blog is 'not quite there', in terms of consistency, quality and depth. So, I see this award as an encouragement to do better.
A big THANK YOU to all who voted for me. Thank you to other bloggers who motivated me to start blogging, to read their blogs and to even think deeply about the issues they raised in their posts.
DISCLAIMER:
I know I have been awarded the 'Best Parenting Blog' but I want you all to know that I am still learning how to be a good parent.
So, do not be surprised if ........................................
(1) You run into me one day and I am screaming at my kids OR
(2) You hear I made a parenting mistake OR
(3) My kids think I am an awful mum OR
(4) My hubby thinks I can do better.
LOL..........................Thanks to you all.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

wohoo!!!! amazers!!!! ok i know i'm a bit late with my congratulations, but i've mia from blogsville.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased for you... well done. You know i strongly feel you won beacuse you're honest about your experiences and not condescending or presumptuous about your role as a mother - this blog is not just great for those seeking comfort and encouragement as parents but for people in general, albeit on issues to do with relationships, and being a good person. So pleased for you... looking forward to more conversation starters and thought provoking posts. xx
