There is nothing nicer than receiving an email that is headed "Congratulations! You've made the shortlist!"

As many of our regular readers know, I love to ramble, write or blog, whatever you may call it and I do it because I love it, not to be controversial, more to be conversational as like most women I know, I love to chat. My blog lets me share information for fellow parents, anecdotes from my gorgeous children and great competitions.

Everything I do, comes from the heart of my family to inspire other women that if you really want it, are prepared to work for it (and be exhausted along the way) you really can have whatever you desire.

The shortlisted nominees have been put onto the Women Inspiring Women National Awards website, and the winners in each category will now be decided by votes from the public vote. So if you enjoy reading my blog, I would love your vote, just click on the link. (it only takes a minute - I promise) xx
