Birthday Giveaway: €50 One4All Card
Later this week I’ll be turning the grand old age of 33. (That’s okay – that’s still early 30s right?!!) But thats not the only birthday celebration happening in our house this week. It’s also my Blog Birthday. This weekend one year ago, my domain registration came through, and I started setting up Mama.ie. Then on November 2nd, I published my very first blog post.
And since then I’ve posted something almost every day – whether it has been a rant lamenting a broken night of sleep, or a therapeutic post recounting the trauma of being locked in the kitchen by my then 15 month old, or a review of the latest app that’s holding our attention, or a product that we simply can’t do without – and before I knew it, what started out as a little outlet for my inner baby bore, has turned into a full-on blogging addiction! I never expected to enjoy it this much.
And along the way, more and more people have started reading my blog, and commenting, giving me feedback and encouraging me. So as a thank you to all of you who read this blog and who have given me so much support and encouragement during the year, I’m providing a €50 One4All gift card as a prize in my special Birthday giveaway.
This giveaway is now closed.
