Just the other day I was thinking, “Hm. I haven’t seen many blog award posts in a while…were those just a fad? Has everyone been through them all?” And then…BAM! Debi from Who Says Eight is Enough gave me this cute award! Thanks Debi – it really means a lot to me 🙂
Have you “met” Debi yet? She has about a million different blogs and has about a million different projects going on. She also has 9 kids! I’m not sure how she does it, except for that I’m pretty sure she doesn’t ever sleep…
The Gorgeous Blogger Award
By accepting this award I am required to tell you six things about myself that you don’t know and then award it to six other gorgeous bloggers.
- I’m actually pretty shy, and never really feel like I belong when I go to new-ish places – even though I know I have every right to be there … like PTO meetings and church.
- I fell off my diet and have gained 5 pounds back. *sigh* And have zero motivation to get back into the swing of things.
- I’m constantly worried that I don’t pay enough attention to my kids…or that one of them gets more attention than the others…
- I can eat an entire bag of potato chips in one sitting.
- I’m torn between my love for our house and town and wanting to move closer to where I grew up.
- I’m a complete “home body”, but I miss the days of game nights out with friends.
And the 6 gorgeous bloggers:
- What a Card
- Cheryl at Twinfatuation
- Heather at Want What You Have
- Nicole at Sotoriffic Twins
- Nancy at Southern Blessings
- Laura at Catholic Teacher Musings

Tanya, over at Mike and Tanya’s Corner of the World, sent this my way. Very much appreciated after yesterday’s lemons. Thank you Tanya! 🙂 Funny – her husband’s name is Mike and she has a son named Logan. All she needs now is twins 😉 (Okay Tanya – I know…Logan and the single 4-month-old is probably enough for now, huh? LOL)
Fist, give some blogger-love to the person who gave it to you. (check!)
Second, nominate 10 of your favorite blogger buddies.
I saw this award on someone else’s blog (Debi’s?) and she explained what it meant to her. I’m going to copy that…It takes a creative, hard-working kid to make a lemonade stand work. And if you keep at it, you’ll succeed. This is what I think of. So, I’m going to list 10 bloggers who represent these qualities. You may have gotten it before, but I’m too lazy to go look *grin*
- Cheryl over at Twinfatuation
- What a Card
- Heather at Want What You Have
- Heather at Thoughts, Ramblings, Dreams, and Ponderings
- Goddess in Progress
- Julie at The Other Boufs
- Bia at La Dolce Vita: the sweet life with three sons
- Laura at Catholic Teacher Musings
- Mommy, Esq.
- Giovanna Diaries
(If you happen across this post before I leave a comment that you have an award, sorry – it’s that whole lazy thing going on again.)
Oh, and an update about yesterday’s lemons…The lady’s insurance guy called this morning. He was quite nice and asked questions about the “accident” – I’m guessing to see if our stories matched..? But nothing about my insurance – so I’m sure there will be another call coming.

A big thank you to Heather at Wanting What You Have for passing this one along to me. It means a lot to me since I read her (very honest) blog all the time.
As usual, there are rules that you agree to when you accept this award:
“When you receive the prize, you must write a post showing it, together with the name of who has given it to you, and link them back. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in their content or design. Show their names and links and leave them a comment informing that they were prized with ‘Honest Weblog’. List [if you can and/or dare] at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on!”
Ten Honest Things About Myself:
- I don’t shower every day. With 3 kids and a full-time job, I just don’t have the time to!
- I go through life fearing that someone will “find me out” – that I’m not supposed to have a master’s degree, or that I shouldn’t really have the job I have, or I’m not really the person people think I am…Something like that. Not sure why, but there it is.
- When I’m at work, I want to be with my kids. When I’m with my kids, I sometimes want to be at work.
- I never feel like I fit in. There are lots of places that I go to where I have to remind myself that I really DO belong there.
- My friends often use me as a reality check because I’m so honest with them.
- I’m not a creative writer. Technical, sure. Autobiographical, well – you’ve seen that here. Creative, no.
- I could sit on the couch and watch TV (with my computer so I could blog) all day. For days. And not be bored at all.
- I’m a life time member of the Girl Scouts. There was a time in my life when I was embarrassed to say that I was in the Girl Scouts – not any more! I’m currently inactive though – stopped being a leader when I had the twins. I’m pretty sure I’ll be sucked back in when Maggie gets to the right age though. 🙂
- There are times when I wonder – in passing – if I suffer from depression. I took a psychology course though, so I know from experience if I start looking up “symptoms” – every single one will apply; but it doesn’t mean that I do.
- It’s really hard to come up with 10 honest things when my entire blog is pretty honest…
Seven Blogs I think of When I See the Word Honest:
(not that I don’t think that all the blogs I read are honest…)
- Snickollet
- Debi at Who Says 8 Is Enough?
- Giovanna Diaries
- What a Card
- Nancy at Southern Blessings
- Jane at Baby Squared
- VP of Domestic Affairs

Nancy over at Southern Blessings sent this award my way. Thank you Nancy!! I’m truly honored 🙂
The award is written in Portuguese. Since I only know a little bit of Portuguese, I’m going to have to trust that this is an accurate description of it. 😉
