A BIG Thank You!

Well, week I was shocked when an email popped up in my inbox telling me I was nominated for The Writer's Centre People's Choice Awards and I have received comments/emails/messages from so many of you, telling me you have voted.

It's safe to say, I'm blushing. You guys!! I always think of Southern In-Law as my tiny little place in the internet - but I'm so glad I get to share it with every single one of you! 

Whilst it's still crazy for me to think I am/we are interesting enough to read about that we have readers - I appreciate each and every one of you and can't thank you enough!

To vote for the Best Australian Blog awards you just need to click here and then click through the list to find the S section - where you'll find Southern In-Law!

But that's not all! You lovely people have shocked me again as I received an email from two readers letting me know they had nominated me for Bupa Australia's Health Blog Awards. Now this made me blush even moreso!

The Bupa Blog Awards are currently in the nominations stage and you can vote for your favourite blogs until May 30th, 2013.

The blogs you nominated have to fall under one of the six categories:

• Healthy lifestyle
• Healthy eating 
• Family time
• Positive life change
• Personal development/self care
• Social good

The blogs are then judged by a panel of judges and the lucky winner will receive $5000 to put towards their health, happiness and wellbeing (For me, that would definitely mean a huge blog update so that you all can be rewarded too!) and the runners up will receive an iPad and have their blog highlighted in Shine Magazine.

If you're interested, you can nominate here until May 30th, 2013.

But this post isn't about getting votes, this is about saying a hugeeeeee.....

THANK YOU!

Sorry loves.. that's the biggest I can get.

To you! For reading Southern In-Law, for connecting with me on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Pinterest, for leaving comments, messages or sending emails, for being genuinely thrilled when Jesse was coming home, for trying my recipes and letting me know what you think - for just being you and just reading this.

I am so thankful for every single one of you and I'm so glad that I can share my healthy eating passion and my crazy rollercoaster life with you. Both Jesse and I are so thankful for each and every one of you - and we can't wait to share more adventures now that we're finally together!
I love getting post suggestions, topic suggestions, questions, emails, comments - anything from you guys, so please don't be shy! :) 

PS: I got this question a lot on Facebook and Twitter and the answer is YES! Anyone, anywhere can vote/nominate in these competitions!

But tell me, what's the best award you have ever won?
