The #BiBs2017 nominations are open – I’d love your vote!

It’s that time of year again: the start of the blogging awards season. Last year I was thrilled that my blog was shortlisted in the Family category of the Brilliance in Blogging awards (BiBs) and I’d love to make the finalists list this year. As a result, I’m indulging in a little shameless begging – if you enjoy reading my blog, I’d love it if you could nominate me in the Family & Lifestyle category and/or the Inspire category for the #BiBs2017.

Why nominate me?

The Family & Lifestyle category is all about blogs that “share the laughter and tears of bringing up kids, inspire us to live better, or expose the (ahem) challenges of being a parent” as well as celebrating family life. This little blog of mine is all about sharing our everyday life as a heart family and raising awareness of congenital heart defects (CHD). I blog about the challenges that CHD throws our way, while focusing on positivity and just enjoying the everyday moments. My daughter might live life with half a working heart, but it doesn’t stop us enjoying family life to the full.

 

By sharing our story, I hope to help others feel less alone in the journey and give hope to those who are just setting out on theirs. Inspirational is a word that has been used occasionally to describe my family. In all honesty though, we’re just a family getting on with our life because that’s all we can do. I try to focus on the positives, and share a photo of something I’m thankful for each day on Instagram as part of my #365daysofgratitude challenge.

 

While my focus is mostly on the positives, I also try not to sugar-coat our life. I’m incredibly thankful to have my two beautiful girls but that doesn’t mean I don’t find parenthood exhausting, overwhelming and challenging at times!
