An award, and me !

The thing I love most about  my blogging journey so far, is all the wonderful people I have 'met' through blogging and how supportive the community can be.

I have formed close friendships with some absolutely gorgeous women, whom I am very honoured to call my friends. And its so comforting to know, that if and when you are having a hard day, at the click of a button and a tap at the keyboard, there are any number of people there to lend an ear, offer advice and support.
A friend once said to me that bloggers and blog readers have their own little language, and I guess we do. We speak from the heart ( And I have recently learnt that this is NOT good thing) , have codes ( FYI DH means Darling husband not Di*k h*#d) for our beloveds and leave our lives open to criticism and negative nelly's.

Anyway, this award and tag game is to share some bloggy love and show support for one another!

The 11 questions Mummy Manifesto have for me to answer:


1. Where would you like to travel before you die?  Absolutely. I'd love to see Paris, walk the winding alleys of Venice again (this time without an 18 month old in a stroller, sick as a dog , pregnant with twins!) , strut my stuff in Manhattan ( Sex and the City style) and relax on a sandy beach in Tahiti. But our time will come


2. High Heels or ballet flats? Hmm I'm definately a Ballet flat kind of girl now. Aren't they the Mummy uniform?

3. Where did you meet your partner-if you have one? My partner of 10 years and husband of 7 1/2 actually met through a mutual friend, at a teeny bopper party. haha

4. What was your first car? A red Daihatsu Charade hatchback. I had fluffy leopard print seat covers and a loud radio. Plenty a time that car was filled to the brim with girlfriends, cruising around town, music blaring and singing our lungs out!! Probably to Sk8ter boy!

5. What is your favourite blog and why? Ohhh gosh , I have so so so many favourites. I read different blogs for a different reason. Some for organising inspiration, some for craft ideas for kids, some for their heartfelt honesty! I can NOT narrow it down!

6. Favourite dessert? I don't really have a favourite. I like all deserts, haha . I don't like cream or custard though! Strange huh?

7. When was the last time you wore red lipstick and why? Only a month or so ago, I love red lipstick. So classic! My husband and I went out for tea for his birthday !

8. Who are you inspired by? My friends, my family. But most of all, my parents.
    They instilled good values and worked so so hard when we were kids. My Dad worked 4 jobs , nearly 20 hours a day, to give us the life. They have been together since they were 12 /13 years old and are my constant source of strength and support.

9. Worst subject at school?  Chemistry!! I hated it. Needed it for what course I wanted to do at Uni, yet hated every minute.

10. What music do you clean your house to? The same music I listen to on an everyday basis. I just put my iPhone on shuffle and away it goes. Meaghan Smith, Frances England, Sister Hazel, Little Birdy Anything!
