The Sweet Blog Award

9.12.2010

I'd like to thank my special friend Sandy from Suddenly Sandy for giving me The Sweet Blog Award. She, like many of my bloggy friends, is a great mom who shows extraordinary love for her family.

The rule for this award is easy--simply pass it along to 10 other sweet blogs.

I've been looking forward to sharing this award because it gives me an opportunity to highlight some amazing blogs, and in the process, thank these gals for being wonderful friends.

The Sweet Blog Award goes to...

Happy weekend to all!

Foxy Mama Award

8.21.2010

A few weeks ago, Beth from Create Your Traditions gave me the "Foxy Mama" Award. I was honored, first because I haven't been called a "foxy" anything since I've had my little boy (bad husband), and second because it's proof that I have another awesome friend out here in bloggy land. Thank you, Beth.

This award is fun because it doesn't have any rules or requirements (at least not to my knowledge). Thus, I am using it as an award to some terrific mommy bloggers because their blogs show 1) they love and would do anything for their children, 2) they're fiercely loyal to their families, 3) they're highly supportive of other bloggers, and 4) they have a wonderful sense of humor and positive attitude that brings both laughter and inspiration to our lives.

Yes, I may have never met you in person, and I may have never even seen a profile picture, but I do know that your hearts exude "foxiness".

Here is my list of "Foxy Mamas." (P.S. I tried to hand out this award to mommy bloggers who never received it before. I have a number of friends that I would include on this list, but somebody's already recognized their "foxiness".)

"Foxy Mama" Award

Yes, let it be known (to your husbands/families especially) that you are now all hereby declared "Foxy Mamas."

I Received the Versatile Blogger Award!

7.28.2010

Tanyia from Surviving Motherhood gave me the Versatile Blogger Award! I was so honored that she took the time to recognize me. I love to blog, and this award just encourages me to continue documenting my little boy's special moments in addition to writing about my own journey. Tanyia, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to show me some friendship and support. You are a great friend!

Now, on with the award...

In order to receive the award fully, I must
1) Thank the person who gave me the award. Thanks again, Tanyia!
2) Share seven things about myself.
3) Nominate 15 newly discovered blogs, and let the nominees know about the award.
Okay, so in no particular order, here are seven things about myself...I'll try not to bore you.
1) I used to own a pet frog as a kid. "Froggie" lived to be seven years-old.
2) I've been tap dancing for close to 30 years. I taught my husband how to tap dance for our wedding, and we performed a routine to Dean Martin's "Ain't that a Kick in the Head."
3) I studied abroad in Spain twice (once during my undergrad years and once in grad school).
4) I'm stuck in a time warp. I love music, movies, and TV shows from the 80's.
5) I walk three to four miles everyday. The most I've ever walked in one day was 16 miles.
6) I love to read self-help books and magazines.
7) I love everything chocolate!
Now it's time for the most important part of the award. I am pleased to nominate all the blogs below because they are clever, creative, beautiful, honest, sincere, and written by some pretty wonderful gals. (Drum roll, please.)
