It’s All Because Of YOU!

It's All Because Of YOU! The Oliver\\\'s MadhouseI am a  FINALIST 

and It’s All Because Of YOU! 

Thats right you reading this right now … its all thanks to you! 

It's All Because Of YOU! The Oliver\\\'s MadhouseUnless you didn’t vote  … although no hard feelings I will still share… trust me its better than any real cake I might bake.

I am now a finalist in the BiB’s (Brilliance in Blogging) awards in the family category, and I am not ashamed to say I cried like a baby and even now looking at that list and seeing such an amazingly strong and diverse group of bloggers not only in my category but also the others in the finals too I am totally totally blown away to be there! 

20 months ago I had absolutely no idea of really what I was doing, or the journey I would go on to give this blogging thing a go. I have spent many an hour, when the rest of the Madhouse has been sleeping soundly on this blog, writing, editing and connecting with people and every hour of lost sleep has been well and truly worth it. 

I have had the pleasure of meeting some amazing bloggers and been to some utterly fantastic events since I started this blogging adventure and I am totally looking forward to seeing where else it will take me and what interesting people I will meet.

I love my blog and I love the community it has made me part of.

Thank you to each and everyone of you that take the time to read my sometimes uninteresting posts! …… 

Most of all thanks for letting me be part of this community! 

It's All Because Of YOU! The Oliver\\\'s Madhouse

    A massive well done for making it to the finals. Blogging is truly addictive isn’t it with some very special rewards, meeting other like-minded bloggers and experiencing things we may never have if we hadn’t found this world.
