I love each and every one of you but when I receive an award from one of my readers.. I’m left speechless. I am so honored to know that you think that I have a good blog. Last night,I reached a landmark on my blog I have 1000 followers. It is so amazing to me that you all want to read what I have to say. I’m not perfect. I’m not amazing. I’m just who I am. I’m just a mommy who loves her kids to death. That likes to share what is going on. So on with the awards.
Time has been really short lately though with the Friday Follow,being sick,trying to find ways to make more money,and simply life. How dare life get in the way of my blog!! But it has repeatedly. I’m so behind in these awards so I’m going to do them all at the same time. And here we go:
Delightfully Frugal,MPuanani @ Luscious Deals,Felissa @ Felissa Hadas,Vicki @ Frugal Mom Knows Best,Cara @ The Momentum of Motherhood,and Jen @ My Inner Foodzilla all gave me the Sunshine Award. Thank you all so much. I am so honored and humbled.
The Sunshine Blog Award is awarded to bloggers whose positivity and creativity inspire others in the blog world.
That statement alone made me cry. I am so shocked that I can touch anyone with my little blog. It literally humbles me to know so.
The “rules”for accepting the award are:
1. Put the logo on your blog or within your post.
2. Pass the award to 7 bloggers.
3. Link the nominees within your post.
4. Let them know they received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received this award.
6. Share 7 things about yourself
I nominate:
Lynn at Midday Escapades
Rita at One2Try
Clueless_Mama at Guessing All The Way
Lee at Headaches,Hormones and Hotflashes
Heather at Thetamom
Debbie at For Your Tears
Andrea at Arise2Write
Ok seven things about me:
- I sing in the shower and most of the day outside of it. I’m no good at it but I love to hear music so I do anyway.
- I once went skinny dipping with my husband outside of a houseboat. There were 14 couples on it lol. They did not see us. It was so risky and great.
- I love romance. I love getting flowers. I love lighting up my house with candles and no normal lights.
- I love to read. Everything I can get my hands on. Sometimes I actually lose myself in it.
- This blog has meant the world to me. I can’t believe that you all read me or that I am still doing it. I’ve been blogging since July 2009 and I’m still here. I have 351 posts on here. 1000 followers. I’m so lucky to have met you all.
- I have a cat named Tom who loves me. He is my cat only. Doesn’t like the rest of the family. Or so they say.
- My family is my inspiration. They light up my life and make the world glow bright.
Lately I’ve been very bad with commenting so I’m not sure I still deserve this award. Deborah at Just Breathe presented me with the Best Blog Comments Award. I absolutely adore her and her blog. I think Deborah is one of the first bloggers that I connected with. She’s is great. She is also one of the sweetest people I know. I love her little doggie,Skye too. Deborah,thank you so much. I am so honored and so glad that you are my friend. If you haven’t visited her be sure to pop over and say Hi. No rules on this one.
I received the Beautiful Blogger Award from Melina @ BeYourBestMom,Ms. Bibi at From Misery to Happiness,Julie @ The Going to be New Me,Jessica @ La Fin Dumond Farm,Julie @ Engine3.
