First of all I am completely blown away by being a Blog Of Note! I really had no idea of the significance of this until my stats started going through the roof, and my lovely little Followers window began to multiply, and more and more comments and emails began to flood in.
So, I'd like to say Cead Mile Failte to you one and all!
In other words, Welcome.
Pumpkin's from Judith's garden a couple of weeks back.
I cannot express how touched I am by all the positive and sweet words I have been receiving for the last twenty~four hours on so many different posts. And I do hope some of you return here to Milkmoon from time to time and say hi. You have all been most welcome.
And I'd also like to say a big thank you as well to all my regular readers who keep coming back for more, and who keep me blogging even when life threatens to overtake me in chaos. And if I could be so bold as to single out three in particular who have been with me since the beginning, more or less: Lisa from What We Eat, Esti from Pintame el dia, and my recent fellow Blogger Of Note, Rima from The Hermitage.
Thanks ladies, for without you...
So a short post it is, but I am a little lost for words for once, and I promise normal blogging will resume tomorrow.
And as I said in the comments: Nothing like the spotlight to make you polish off what's been a teensy bit neglected lately! So I have my blogger hat on at a jaunty angle, and my socks pulled up.
MilkmoonMama is back on full time duty!

I am so happy that I found this place. Thank you "blog of note".
Your pictures are lovely. They make even the mundane seem beautiful.
Your world seems so familiar (family and home) while at the same time exotic. Ireland is a world away, and oh to call that patch of grass behind my house a garden. Precious and romantic like a fairy land.
recession hurting you? come joine us! w w w. tinyurl.com/yepqhnq

Figured out now how to leave a comment. I like the simplicity and the "Britishness" of your blog. I went to school in Kent a long, long time ago.
Heartfelt Congratulations, Ciara!
Milkmoon a Blog of Note? ALWAYS-- a no-brainer, really! So glad for you!

Hi Ciara,

well, in short.. you're inspiring..
you deserve it, really!

Congrats on being a Blog of Note. I just browsed through several of your posts and... I love them! I also love that you're from Ireland. Somewhere in my heritage... I think great-great grandparents... our family was from Ireland, so it's special to me. I like the way you write and that you write about life and family. Keeping it simple is nice!

The mind bloggles - keep it up.
