Bloggy Award!

For me! :)

Jenn over at I Hate Whine! Awarded me this today:

She's so damn sweet :) It's such an honor!

Now in turn I need to award it to my 7 favorite bloggers! Hard to narrow it down to 7!

The rules for this award are as follows:

1. Put the logo on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3. You must nominate 7 fellow bloggers for this award



Here it goes:

Suzie at Up the Hill Backwards She rocks big time ;) and she gave me my very first blog award!

Nissa at Nissa's Niceties who is finally back from vacation!

Beth at Around the Funny Farm - I just love hearing about her adventures!

Stacey at Is There Any Mommy Out There? - she has some really wonderful posts!

Missy at Bees and Boo-Boos - She's been on my must read list lately!

Vared at MomGrind - I just love her last post about keywords on Google!

Nut Nut at Nutty Tales - She makes things, and Reads! ;) and I just love her header - makes me hungry every time I look at it.

So there you go. All of these people have great posts, great comments on my blog and are just great to read! If you haven't sampled them yet, now's the time! :)

My first blog award :)

I was so happy to see that one of my favorite bloggers, Suzie from Up the Hill Backwards gave me a blog award!! My first ever :) And I'm so glad it came from someone like Suzie. Ever since I found her blog (after she commented on mine), it's one of the few that I make a point of reading.

There are so many good ones out there it's hard to keep up with all that reading. Of course some days I spend all my free time catching up on those many many blogs instead of posting here! :)

But Suzie is really an inspiration! :) We have a bit in common, which is why she has been on my must read list since I discovered her :) In her blog entry, which includes my blog award [smug], she talks about why she started her blog - it's a great post and I really identified with her and think a lot of us mommybloggers out there could. Its strange how alone you can feel even when you have kids ;) (or even moreso when you have wee ones)... And it is so wonderful to find a community here online of mothers who have similar issues, or mothers who just have great thing to say or hilarious stories to share... I also feel less alone out in the blogosphere.

Thank you Suzie :)

Blogroll!

I finally added a blogroll for all the feeds I read! :) phew, that was time consuming... I probably spend just as much time reading blogs as I do writing them. I am completely obsessed with the blogosphere as of late. Which is seriously interfering with my packing ;) But there are sooo many good blogs out there! If you don't want to get addicted, please don't check any of them out ;)

The cool thing I've noticed lately is all the giveaways! What a great way to get traffic to your blog and who doesn't love giveaways? What a wonderful way to promote a product or business. I will totally do this once I set up my Etsy shop! I started it almost a year ago with every intention of listing lots of cute crocheted items for baby... but then got sidetracked *with* babies ;) But I plan to give it a real go here once we get settled after the big move. I'll be in a much better position to do it then.

5 Minutes for Mom had a great list of giveaways on their blog, so check out that link. And Judith Shakespeare is giving away a really cool T-shirt on her site: The Only Thing I Know
Happy Blogging!
