Later this month I'm hoping to head down to Earls Court for The Baby Show with my mum and Little E.

This years final Baby Show takes place from 22-24 October 2010 and Second Time Mummy is giving one lucky winner a pair of tickets to attend.

The show will feature fantastic parenting advice, great entertainment and an unrivalled shopping experience, it promises to be the ultimate day out for new parents, parents-to-be and little ones alike.

TV presenter, model and mother Myleene Klass will be appearing on the Friday - she was one of the judges involved in the Gurgle Awards, so I feel like we have a bond!

She'll be sharing her experiences of motherhood and pregnancy.

She is also joined by leading experts Annabel Karmel, Clare Byam-Cook and Prima Baby’s Jo Tatum, who will return to give their comprehensive advice on nutrition, breast feeding and sleep routines.

The show will feature thousands of must-have products for both parents and babies from the UK’s leading brands including Pampers, Mothercare, Tommee Tippee, Maclaren and many others; expert advice on pregnancy; birth and parenting skills and entertainment for all the family.

The Gurgles

As you know Chris and I travelled down to London this weekend for the first ever Gurgle Blog Awards or the Gurgles as they shall be known from now on! I was lucky enough to be nominated in the category "Best Mummy Fashion Blog".

The event was held at the swanky Soho Hotel. There was a make up artist and manicurist ready to pamper all of the mummy bloggers as well as Strawberry Daiquiri's on tap. Not for me, obviously - watermelon coolers all the way! There was a great fitness talk from Gurgle's pre and post natal fitness expert, and founder of Beez-Knees, Vicky Warr and then it was on to the presentations.

First to be announced was the winner of the Best Gurgle blog and the winner was Sammummy2b - this award was special as it was voted for by Gurgle members. It's a fabulous read of Sam's journey through her first pregnancy. Make sure you check it out.


The rest of the blogs were voted for by a judging panel consisting of Gurgle's celeb blogger, Mylene Klass, Gurgle Editor, Nifa McLaughlin and Gurgle Community Manager, Tor Brierley.

Next up was my category - Best Mummy Fashion Blog

I was so nervous and didn't for one minute think that I would actually win so when I heard Tor describing my blog before eventually announcing that Second Time Mummy was the winner I was in complete shock and nearly spat watermelon cooler all over the floor!



The other deserved winners were...

Best Mummy Blog Writer -  20somethingmum





Best Funny Mummy Blog -  Hot Cross Mum





and finally

Best Overall Mummy Blog - English Mum





So some of you might be wondering what I ended up wearing! The last time I left you I was without an outfit and all the shops had closed - bad times! Fortunately I had packed a maxi dress that I bought in Singapore last year but the trouble was it just wasn't dressy enough for such a special occasion. Eventually the crisis was averted - randomly I had the chiffon tie of another Singapore buy in my case and I tied it in to a posh bow above my bump. Problem solved!


It really was  a great night and it was lovely to meet all of the other bloggers that attended as well as the Gurgle team but I must give a special mention to my new friend Pippa who had us laughing all night! Check out her funny blog - A Mothers Ramblings - too!
