The buzz word this week is BiBs shortlist and don’t I know it! I have been ploughing over them collecting information from each blogger and I am totally and utterly in awe of their EPICness. Some bloggers made it through to three different categories and I applaud them very loudly indeed.
Vote for your favourite BiBs
I thought it would be nice to do a quick shout out each week so everyone popping in with their #MBPW could pop over and see why they made it to the BiBs 2013. Only 4 weeks to go so we’ll focus on four categories each week. Go here for the full BiBs shortlist
