The wait is finally over for Lovedbyparents.com fans, as the site announced the winners of their hugely popular parenting awards.
Virgin Balloon Flights sponsored the ‘Blogger of the Year’ award for 2011 with a spectacular pair of flight vouchers for lucky winner Katy Earley who writes www.modernmummy.co.uk.
