This Is The Year

I've been kind of an awards slacker recently. I've had a few lovely awards bestowed upon me by some awesome fellow bloggers whom I just adore! And now I get to pass them on. But first I need to apologize. You see, I've been making sure to keep a list when people give me awards so that I know who to thank when I post about them. Well my computer went down a while back, and did not retrieve the most updated verson of the list...so some of them are missing! I know that I have been given the Mom of the Year award, and the Lemonade award back in March. I love you for thinking of me, and I apologize for not posting sooner, and losing your info! If it was you please let me know...I'm going to keep searching! I also received the lovely Lemonade award from Vivienne . She is a fairly new bloggy friend and I love, love, LOVE reading her blog. Y'all should go check her out because she's hilarious! The Rules of Accepting and Sharing this Award 1.Put the logo on your blog or ...

Today I need to award my Hubby. I think he's pretty dang cute. However, that's not why he's hot. Let me tell you why my husband's hot. The last couple of days I've abused my body just a little. My back is aching because I moved a bunch of cases of food storage in order to get them out of the way. Then last night when I was exercising, I did something a little foolish. You see, I usually go for an hour on the treadmill, then I take a few minutes to cool down at a slower pace. Well last night I went to change the pace after my hour was up,and I hit the wrong button and it messed everything up on my pace/time, etc. Well, instead of taking the time to reset everything and do my cool down, I thought "ah, forget it" and just got off the treadmill without cooling down. I sat on the couch next to hubby and caught up on some blogs while he watched the basketball game. When I stood up to get cleaned up (I don't smell fantastic after and hour on the treadmill!) b...

I really didn't mean to save these all up and do them at once! But I haven't had a chance to pass them along, because I really like to take the time to put thought into who I want to pass them to. And it's been an INSANE couple of weeks with our family UNvacation, and planning for a boutique AND a bridal shower. I'm not complaining - I love the boutiques (although it was a small relief that this one got postponed) - and I love my future little sis-in-law. I just don't want anyone to think I don't appreciate them thinking of me for these awards! First up: Amy at Keeping Up With The Shultzes gave me the Love Ya Award. I can't believe how sweet she is for thinking of me! I love reading her posts, and "keeping up" with all the fun she and her family have. Thank you Amy! 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 ribb...

Seriously, I can't believe it! I have been given an award! Julie over at Tattered Threads and Willing Hands was so sweet to choose me as one of her recipients for the Sisterhood Award. I've been following her blog for some time, and I LOVE reading her posts! She has the cutest ideas, and wonderful, genuine thoughts on all sorts of things.
