Within a 24 hour period, I’m honored to say I was nominated for four awards…well, two different awards, with a total of four nominations.  Three nominations for the “One Lovely Blog Award” and one for the “Kreativ Blogger Award”!!!!

I couldn’t be more excited about this.  A writer writes in the hopes of gaining admiration, respect, and a dedicated fan base. All of which confirms the writer’s ability to actually write and a general consensus that the materials (which is nothing more than a writer’s research, imagination, and experiences) are worthy. These nominations prove I’m on the right path to reach my goals for this blog.  And that maybe…just maybe…I’m a decent writer. 

I can’t say thank you enough, but a girl only has so much time to dedicate to said blog.  Therefore, please forgive me, but I’m going to answer those nominations in a combined effort.

The Kreativ Blogger Award nomination was from Serendipityplus ~ this blog is absolutely gorgeous with a beautiful family and the most creative and beautiful photography.  Ironic that the person making this nominationsis waaaay more creative than the recipient!  A high compliment and I’m so very honored.

The One Loveley Blog Award nominations came from three different, yet terrific, bloggers.  Organizedlivingessentials has a blog that defies anything I can ever imagine.  I want her to come organize my closets!!!!  Check her site out and you’ll know what I mean about this smart lady!

Olbigjim writes to us from Jordan and includes fantastic photography, insight, and poetry in his wonderful blog.

Frifflethoughts – the author also has a blog entitled Reading Today, which has the most terrific byline – To read or not to read is not a question.  LOVE it.  And the fact that she has two successful blogs just goes to show she’s fantastic with writing, humor, and the ability to know her readers….or she’s just showing off. You decide.  Hahaha….jk, I love both her blogs!

Now for the rules…bent just a tad, of course.

Reveal 7 unknown facts about yourself:

1.  I’ve been pregnant twice.  Both times were with multiples.  (Swear!)
2. I love watching college sports
3. I love Friday night poker
4. I cry when anyone else cries
5. I enjoy the Sunday paper more than others…shh, don’t tell Mon-Sat
6. I once was a licensed Real Estate Agent and a licensed Real Estate Broker and never once practiced Real Estate
7. I’m contemplating continuing on with school to become a doctor.  (Get my MBA in Feb 2013, so we’ll talk more after that!)

Nominate 7 others for these awards:

Here’s where I’m really cheating…I’m combining efforts and instead of nominating 28, which I could do but would take me eight days, I’m only going to spread the two different awards around with seven blogs.  Hope you understand and enjoy!!

(sidenote: I can’t remember who plays these games and who doesn’t, so if you are one of the “doesn’t”, please no worries…I don’t expect everyone to retaliate. Ha!)

(one more sidenote:  These nominations are in random order and I’m not saying any blog is better than the other.  You’re all 1/7^th as great as the rest, don’t know what percentage that works out to be…but can you tell I’m a Mom? Hahaha)
