Thanks to you, Much Overdue

Leann passed this blog award along to me a LONG time ago and I just wanted to FINALLY thank her! She is one of the sweetest people I have never actually met. ;) She comments regularly on my blog and misses me when I am gone.

She blogs about her kiddos and hubby and it is just plain sweet and fun over there.

So here's the scoop on this award:

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find, and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers."
So now I need to pass it on!

Aw, I am honored. Thanks LeAnn and here are mine

Ali at Home of the Lazy Dog
Dawn at Running My Race
Amy at Just Keep Praying
Kristin at Fill My Cup
Chris at Dreams are Free

***

And then this award came my way from Kim at Situationally Single Mom. She seriously amazes me. Her hubby is deployed in Iraq right now, she has four kids, works full time, keeps a blog and is just really keeps a great attitude. Go visit her and tell her hello!


Thank you Kim for thinking of me.


So, to pass this one along it should go to some bloggers that have great attitudes - all the time!

Chris at Dreams are Free
LeAnn at Tollsons4Him
Jenn at The Peacocks Nesting Place
Carrie at Gremlin Wrangler


These are always so hard to choose. I cannot tell you how many amazing blogs are out there. Too many to name here!

Thanks again, ladies and sorry for the delay in posting them!

I Feel The Love!

Oh, I am just sooo not worthy of this award. I mean in the blog and writing sense.

BUT I am soooo excited that I was nominated! At least one of you appreciates my parenting skills! Now, if I can just convince my kids. Just kidding, of course.

Aw, I am just honored, y'all! Who was it? Tell me, tell me, tell me! You filled my heart today!

Just being included with the other bloggers that were nominated is extremely flattering.

So, if you have time it would be so very cool for you to go vote at this site for my blog. The contest ends November 30. I don't expect to really win because there are sooo many incredible parenting blogs, but it would be fun to have your votes! Click this button below!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

You have blessed me today. Really, you have.

Encouragement! Aw, thanks.

This is VERY long overdue.

Omigosh ladies. You are awesome!

I was so pleasantly surprised to be reading over at Musings of a Mum of 4 today and found that she gave me this award!

It is my first Blog Bling!!! Isn't that exciting? Well, I'm excited to be sure!

I also think for my first award I could not have received a more special and meaningful one.

It is one that was created to honor a little boy named Noah by his mom at Memoirs of A Mommy. He had a heart transplant when he was one month old and just turned a year! Oh, what a blessing and you have to go check his photo out here. He is really just tooooo cute!!! She created the award to honor the donor and raise awareness of organ donors.
