Most Inspirational Blogger

The voting for this was held in our closed community, with the top 5 then being deliberated over by some of the sponsors and the admins of MB. It was very difficult to choose between the top 5 as they were all inspirational in their own ways. In the end, the decision was made based on a number of factors, including how helpful they generally are.

And the chosen winner is: 

 

Iman from And Then She Said is a wife, mum to two little minions and an organising junkie who loves food (sugar is my best friend). Hop aboard the crazy train and share in the beautiful, chaotic, ever-changing journey that she is on! We did a mini interview with her back in May 2016…..have a read to find out more about her: And The She Said Featured Blogger.

 

Congratulations to all our winners and a jazakAllah khair to all our award sponsors.

Until next year in sha Allah!
