My First Nomination... The Liebster Award!

It was such a lovely surprise this week to be nominated for a Liebster Blog Award by Jade at the @UniqueMummyBlog
 

Jade's blog is wonderful. She shares what goes on in her life as a young mummy. She became a mum just before her 16th birthday but was determined to stay in education and remained living with her parents.  A good move as far as I can see.  Her blog is a brilliant inspiration to all of the other young Mums out there!
From what I have read about Jade on her blog she has done everything in her power to do the right thing for herself and her son, Spud.  I really respect that.

In Jade's words,
"I will try everything once, twice if I like it"
