Going through a few of the other blogs listed. Notice that Karen Cheng's blog was nominated for best australian and new zealand blog as well as the best-designed weblog categories. The blog has an illustrative feel about it. Both women blog about their lives with their young children among other things. Both blogs are nice to read.
