Bitte, baby

The marvellous Kerry On Living, a fellow linguist and expert in free will, has just awarded Mañana Mama the Liebster award - thank you Kerry! The staff here at Chaos HQ are currently expressing their excitement by lobbing toasting fruit shoots.

I want to pass on the good will, so I'm raising a fruit shoot toast* to a handful of my favourite bloggers.

Heart to heart. 

Bibsey A warm, witty account of 'life after birth' in expat Spain. Featuring Cava bubble baths and bums lost in translation. May inspire feelings of sunshine-lust and blog-design-envy.

A Scandinavian Sojourn Delightful tales of the unexpected from a British mum in Denmark, a land untouched by Marmite. With appearances by pancake kings, garden variety deer and other wonderful stuff.

Dummies and Dog Hairs The adventures of two toddlers, two canines, and two harassed parents in a confined space - and yet a very soothing read - like stepping into a warm auntie's kitchen that smells of freshly baked bread and is hung with beautiful family photos.

Mummy at the School Gate A fun read by a mum of three who is 'just about existing' in spite of pirate policemen, a total loss of cleaning mojo, and various other stuff.

Mad Geek Mommy A loving portrait of a delightful little boy who really, really loves his cheerios.

To all of the above - it is a pleasure to read your work, thanks for sharing it. Here are some recommendations for how to accept and spread the award, should you feel inclined to do so:

1. Create a blog post about the award. Include the Liebster image and a link back to me.
2. Choose and notify 3-5 of your favourite bloggers to pass the award on to, with an eye towards bringing new or lesser-known bloggers to light. 
3. Sit back, basking in the warm Liebster glow, and toasting with fruit shoots.  

*No actual fruit shoots were harmed in the writing of this nonsense. This post is not sponsored by fruit generally or specifically...or by shooting.
