I was nominated by Lee Anne and Jessica for this award, awhile ago, and am just getting to it now. It was perfect fitting because of my word of the year....gratitude. These two ladies have wonderful blogs and I truly love and appreciate their comments on my blog.Here are the official rules of the game...
1. Put the logo on your blog post.
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs which show great attitude and/or gratitude.
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to this post and to the person from whom you received the award.
I nominate:
1. LeeAnne. even though she has already done it. I teach with Lee Anne and we both are moms of boys only! You should check out her blog. She does these amazing tributes to people (her boys, mom, mother in law) that I will probably be copying at some point. ;) She is a very honest person, and so great at making comments on people's blogs.
2. Jessica, even though she has already done it. Jessica moved this summer and I really enjoy being able to keep up to date with her from her blog. She does an amazing job of keeping it up to date. Jessica has a beautiful girl, Jordyn, who is always smiley...and such a blessing.
3. Kristin, my sister in law married to my brother Matt, also does a great job of keeping her blog up to date. They have an adorable 6 month old, Kelsey. I swear she is the best baby I have ever known. I have yet to hear her cry more than a few times. Even though we live in the same town, we're all very busy so I love being able to see how my niece is growing up. Kelsey is a blessing also.
4. Erin,my cousin who lives in Illinois. She also has a Conor, who is so cute. We used to see each other and talk more when we were younger, and now don't see each other very often. It's great being able to watch and see what's going on with them through her blog.
5. Wendy,is a friend from high school. We were great friends in high school, sort of lost touch during college, and then picked right up again after college. We don't get to see each other a ton, or talk all that much, but when we do we it's like we haven't missed a beat. We have a lot in common. She has two adorable girls, that are just like their mom. Wendy is one of the more hilarious people I know.
6. Kelly, I got to know from playing softball. She is an amazing mom of four great kids, not to mention a mom doing it on her own for the most part. She is a very talented photographer, and one of the most laid back people I know, not to mention still an amazing softball player. ;)
7. Tanja, doesn't even know me, but I follow her blog daily. I came across it this summer and I used her 12 course meal idea with the boys a ton. They thought I was the coolest and I owe it all to Tanja. She is always so positive in her blog and appears to be a beautiful person inside and out.
8. Stephanie, also doesn't know me, but I follow her blog too. I became addicted to Stephanie's blog awhile ago after finding out that she and her husband were in a plane crash and have been going through intensive burn therapy and surgery for awhile now. It is amazing what they have all been through. Her "voice and personality" really come through from her blog.
9. Laurie, over at Tip Junkie, is always sharing and featuring amazing women. I have made quite a few connections from her blog and love all of the ideas. It's almost overwhelming sometimes. She also does not know me. ;)
10. Dawn, is a friend I have gotten to know better within the last 5 years and she has two adorable kids, Lane and Kate. I have not met Kate yet, and hope to do so soon. Dawn is a very creative and sweet woman.
