I can't believe its been 2 years

It's hard to believe that I started my blog 2 years ago. What started as a way to work through my feelings after my divorce has grown into so much more in such a short time. Through this blog I have rediscovered and nurtured my love for writing, inspired others (so I'm told), connected with many wonderful people and been accepted into a great online community of bloggers.

It's hard to believe that in 2 years I have gone through the heartache of my infertility struggles, got engaged and then a week later found out I was pregnant. There were times I loved being pregnant and times I felt like I was failing and then there was the unexpected birth. And now I have a beautiful baby girl and the best job in the world. It really is true that life can change completely in a few short years...

Given that my blog is having a birthday I figured it was fitting that we have an online party to celebrate. Unfortunately there wont be any cake, but there will be presents and I'm giving them to YOU!

To say thankyou to you all for reading I have teamed up with some wonderful businesses and put together a MASSIVE anniversary giveaway. There are 27 prizes for 27 lucky winners. I have linked up with businesses that I think you will all love. There are prizes for mums, babies, and kids (the only ones missing out are the dads - but you guys should enter to win something nice for your wives hint, hint).

To win all you have to do is like some pages and answer a simple question. Easy!

So, what are the wonderful prizes....
