I was nominated for Inspirational award 2014 and got through to the finals at the award ceremony.
I was very surprised to find out that I had been nominated by my Aunt for The Sun Newspapers Wondermum of the Year. I was down to the last 6 finalists and was fortunate to go to London for 2 days for the award ceremony. This was fantastic and all the people looking after us were great. Although I didn't win, it was lovely to have that recognition and the other mum's were brilliant.
