Secrets, Sunshine and Being Published!


Do you like getting surprises in the post? Nice surprises, obviously! The lovely Heather from Notes From Lapland has set up a Secret Post Club. Anyone can join, there are currently at least 75 members from all over the blogosphere. Each month you are allocated a blogger to send a gift to and each month you receive a gift from  someone.

Today I received my first Secret Post Club gift. It's a book, 'Friends, Lovers and Other Indiscretions' by Fiona Neill. Such a wonderful surprise. I'm looking forward to reading it.

Huge thanks to Aly from Life's Laundry. Mwah!

I've been given a lovely sunshine award. Huge thanks to Solveig at Little Pong, Kelly at A Place of My Own, Susan K Mann and Ang at Mum's Survival Guide. You are all so kind.

I'm going to pass this award on to a few people that deserve some sunshine for being all-round good eggs:

I could have chosen dozens more good eggs, these were the first dozen that came to mind!

I'm delighted to have written a piece for the new Tomy guide 'Top Tips for Today's Parents'. You can see the guide here. It was distributed at The Baby Show. It's lovely to have been included alongside some of my bloggy buddies! Does this count as being published?!
