Yesterday I found out that I’m back in the Tots100 Index of the UK’s top 100 parent blogs – what a start to my week! In the entire list Playing by the book is the only blog dedicated to kids’ books so I’m very honoured to be up there.

Two of my favourite blogs also made it into the top 100 and they are:

  • All that comes with it
  • It’s a small world after all


    • I do hope you’ll be able to find the time to spend a few minutes reading through some of their posts!

    Last month Vanessa from Silly Eagle Books very kindly presented me with the Lemonade Stand Award. The Lemonade Stand is awarded for being a blogger who shows great attitude and gratitude.

    The rules for accepting this award are as follows:

  • Put the Lemonade logo on your blog or within your post.
  • Nominate at least 10 blogs with great attitude or gratitude.
  • Link the nominees within your post.
  • Let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
  • Share the love and link to the person from whom you received this award.


    • So here are some of blogs I really look forward to reading, and to whom I would like to pass on the award, in addition to All that comes with it and It’s a small world after all:

  • The Almost Librarian
  • NurtureStore
  • The art of irreverence
  • Saffron Tree
  • sunnydaytodaymama
  • Sensible Living
  • Adventures with kids
  • Laundry on the Line


    • I hope you find some new blogs to enjoy from the list!


    All this has left me with a big smile on my face and a spring in my step – and that’s in large part due to you, my readers. Thank You.

    Seeing as we’re sharing a little link-love, I’d love it if in the comments you left a link to one blog that you love so that I too can enjoy it!

      Congrats – and thank you for the present :)
      It is the most perfect book for us, which makes it all the more special!

      Zoe, thank you so much for thinking of nuturestore for an award. I’m really glad you enjoy the blog – I think we share a very similar philosophy on kids :) I’m off to check out the other blogs you listed.

      Oh, and one I like is http://aresohappy.squarespace.com/ about an Americam Mom and her family. It always makes me feel calm.

      Well Done Zoe. What an honour – well earnt too.
      One of the many I’m enjoying is
      http://the-joy-of-my-life-and-other-things.blogspot.com/ It has a variety of topics but mostly reviewing childrens’ books and great art activities. I think you’d like it.
