(Ok, so this took me like four days to write . I couldn't decide who to nominate. I know . I know.... more decisions, less thinkys)
My new friend Evelyn over at My Turn (for Us) has nominated me for the Sunshine blogger award. I'm so flattered that she though enough of my blog to give this award to me. This is my second blog award and I'm so happy to get them. It made my day. I think these awards are just awesome little ways to send the positive flow back and forth to each other.

The Sunshine Award is an
award given by bloggers to other bloggers. The recipients of the
Sunshine Award are: "Bloggers who positively and creatively inspire
others in the blogosphere." The way the award works is this: Thank the
person who gave you the award and link back to them. Answer 10 questions
about yourself. Select 10 of your favorite bloggers, link their blogs
to your post and let them know they have been awarded the Sunshine
Award! Don't forget to copy and paste the award on your blog!
Here we go! Ten questions:
1. Favorite color: Toss up between blue and green
2. Favorite animal: I love horses, ask anyone who knew me from age 5-16,but since the subdivision says no ( ;P) I love dogs just as much
3. Favorite number: I don't know but it has to be symmetrical
4. Favorite drink: chocolate shake
5. Facebook or Twitter: Facebook. I like that I just check once a day. I don't have time to update on twitter all day. I don't even care what I'm doing all day.
6. Good Book or a Good
Movie: Hmm...toughie. I love a good movie with great actors but a book I can finish in my own time.
7. My Passion: I love my girls more than anything but if we are talking about things I like to do.... photography and organizing/cleaning stuff.
8. Giving or getting
presents: Both but I love giving something I know somebody really wants but doesn't think they are getting. That's the best.
9. Favorite day of the
year: Christmas. I love everything about the day and even more so now that I have kids.
10. Favorite flowers: Lilac. They smell so good and remind me of summer and warm and happy.

Mischele @ The Bean Sprout Notes : She has a fun family blog with great everyday every person tips that we could all learn from. I like the way she writes, it sounds like me.
Julie @ The NapTime Review : Julie has some awesome reviews and deals. Her Monday Mommy Meetup is great way to go out and meet each other. She's a mom like me with kids issues ( Vicks in the hair...yuck)
Anna@ My Life and Kids : This gal is the life of the blogging party. She says what we all want to and Even Steven is just along for the ride. I want to go back in time and invite you to my wedding. You would have made the night so much more exciting.
Maxabella @ Maxabella Loves : She has these grateful posts and Pin It posts that make me think more about myself and more about Pinterest than I ever thought I would.
I'm so flattered that you thought of me, Emily. I'm especially happy because the 'pin of the day' posts are new for me and I wasn't sure anyone liked them!
ReplyDeleteWe have loads in common - especially the chocolate shakes (although I confess diet coke is probably my number 1). I'm definitely a fellow Christmas embracer.
I'm off to visit some of the great new blogs you've mentioned.

I do really enjoy them because sometimes I'm just too busy to find any new pins myself. Well if I'm ever down under we'll have to go get shakes and if you're up here, I'll take you to get some frozen custard.
DeleteCongrats on the award....your blog is great and I'm so happy you received this! :D
ReplyDeleteMarilyn
Thanks. And congrats to you too!
Deleteawww... thanks for the kind words about me and my blog. I really appreciate the encouragement, especially from a fellow bloggers. Blogging is sort of my secret hobby - well not really a secret, but I hardly ever mention it in real life because no one in my local network of friends blogs. I figure I'll spare my non blogging friends the boredom of listening to me drone on and on about cool blog stuff. (Although I do have one friend across the country who blogs and with whom I can swap stories) ANYWAYS..... the point I'm taking forever to make is THANKS! I appreciate it :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the introduction to some other great blogs!
No problem. I totally get it. I really don't tell people I have a blog either unless something comes up or they ask. I'm not one of those.." I wrote on my the other day..."
DeleteMany many thanks for thinking of me - I am truly honored! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I so agree with you about facebook vs twitter. Love facebook. And I wish I was a better "twitter-er" - but I can't think of that many interesting things to post! And I'd much rather have a comment thread via fb than twitter - they just seem so random - especially as you read bits and pieces of other people's conversations!
As always, well deserved! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThanks so much for nominating me!! I feel very special!
ReplyDeleteNo problem. You totally deserve it. You are always out there at the link party, so supportive. And taking time to write us. It means alot.
