Just a little note to let you know a) I am still here, b) I still love you and c) you guys are fantastic!*

After a rocky start to our little vacation – the 24 hour vomiting bug had travelled with us – we have now well and truly arrived in paradise. As I am typing this, Big M has been stung on the lip by an exotic insect and has started to develop a bit of a trout pout. Remind me never to try fillers.

*Thank you so much for all of you who nominated this blog (again!) for the MAD Blog awards. Nominations are still open, if you fancy having a look at it, follow this link. So far Metropolitan Mum has been nominated in the categories Best Homes & Interiors Blog and Most Innovative Blog. I wouldn’t mind a nomination in the category Best Writer or Most Entertaining, either. Just saying… 😉
