It's Blog Award Time Again!

I knew that bloggers usually make a circle of friends they've never met in real life- but never did it dawn on me that while blogging I would meet some of the most amazing, inspiring, phenomenal families, ladies and friends I could have ever asked for!

Without further a-do...

Heather of Grab Bag Reviews sent me the HONEST SCRAP award!
The rules: Honorees are to list 10 honest things about themselves - and make it interesting, even if we have to dig deep! Second, we are to pass the award on to 7 bloggers we feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

1. Most of my family and friends lives 1500 miles away.
2. My New Year's resolution every year is to get more organized! (Every year I get a little better..)
3. I HATE shoes. I would rather be barefoot or in flip-flops in any kind of weather!
4. I love to paint.. I used to be really creative, and wish I had more time to devote to it.
5. I bite my nails.. My parents tried everything when I was little, and even now, I still do.
6. I would love to be an interior decorator!
7. I worked as a Teacher's Assistant for 3 years with children who were mentally, emotionally, and/or physically disabled, before I got pregnant with my son.
8. I watch The Biggest Loser and eat really "bad" food.
9. I am allergic to MSG, phenylalanine, and all artificial sweeteners.
10. One of my dearest friends lives in Brazil.

Now it's my turn to send this award on it's way! The seven blogs I choose to receive this award are:
Jamie at Funky Cheapskate Mama
Mariana at Riding With No Hands
Amanda at Amanda/Mommy Mandy
Jenna at For the Love of Baby
Sky at Seeryus Mama
MckMama at My Charming Kids
Natalie at Red Sox Mommy


Then this week, I got a message from Marianna at Green Mama's Pad saying that she sent me these:

Now it is my turn to spread the love to four amazing bloggers!
So I am giving these awards to:
Andreah at Moody Mama Says
Krissy & Angela of Barefoot Mommys
Sarah at My Charmed Life
Esther at Sweet Dove in the Wind

Keep up the great work ladies!

Blog Award!

The Love Ya 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. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

I received The Love Ya Award from two of my favorite bloggers- Melinda at Look What Mom Found and Marianna at Green Mama's Pad! Thank you both for sending it my way, and I Love Ya too!! *wink*

Now it's my turn to pass it on so here's who I'm sending The Love Ya Award to:

• Matthew's Puzzle - The dedication of a mother's love is evident in her daily battles for her son with Autism. The great lengths Matthew has acheived because of her strength inspire me greatly.
• Frugalicious Mommy- I recently connected with Virginia because she won a blog contest of mine. I LOVE the money saving advice and tips on her blog, no mommy should go without!
• Funky Cheap $kate Mama- In search of the best deals on the internet? Tons of useful freebies, and coupon codes you can't pass up? Follow her!
• Random Thoughts from a Random Mommy- I just love Melissa and her family! I love her creations and all the pictures of her boys.
  
• Crumbs in My Minivan- I love the stories about her kids and the things they say and do! Fun to read, and so, so true!
• Seeryus Mama- Great giveaways, truthful reviews, just a fun place to read!
• Therapeutic Reviews & Giveaways- Another site for great reviews & giveaways, with personal experience and personality.
• No Time for Flashcards- My all time favorite blog, EVER! Great ideas for rainy days for keeping your preschool and early elementary school child active and having fun! Wonderful site for home schoolers too!
