I got to stay at my brother's house though which made the trip infinitely better. His darling house, great wife and adorable kids were a huge perk to my travel.
Anyway, I got home late Monday night and my kids had me up at the crack of dawn. I was exhausted but imagine my surprise when I came home to the coolest thing ever - an award for my blog!
Jenny has a cute blog that I have really enjoyed finding. She has a ton of children and handles it all beautifully. In the small world it continues to be, we actually live very close to one another!
There is the award - isn't it pretty? It truly made my day.
Now there are instructions that go along with the award. I must pass this along to some amazing bloggers and I have to share 10 things about myself that you do not already know. I must say that I do not expect the blogs I list below to do all the instructions that come along with it - I just want to let you know that I love you guys!
1) I am allergic to cats. Boring but true.
2) I have turned into a crier. I cried at the Kindergarten Roundup meeting for my daughter, I cried last night at the rehearsal for her ballet recital. I cry a lot. I was NOT this person before I had kids.
3) I am the youngest of three children - and the only girl. There were definite advantages to that. I was a bit spoiled and I loved it! But I turned out to be a nice person, so it's all good.
4) I have no natural instinct for cooking. My husband can throw things together and make something fabulous. I can follow a recipe to the T and make something mediocre.
5) Although I make fun of him a lot in my blog, I am very proud of my husband. He works really hard for our family and is an amazing and wonderful partner.
6) I know of 11 people whose birthdays are on April 23. I think that is strange.
7) I share the exact same birthday as Nick Lachey - same year and everything. I spent a summer at a school in Switzerland and spent a lot of time with Robert Di Niero's son Raphael. Raphael and I have the same birthday as well - although not the same year.
8) If I could do it all over again, I would have gone to school for interior design. People keep telling me it isn't too late, but I'm entirely too lazy to start all over again.
9) I never missed not having a sister as I was growing up because I had really cool brothers who were very good to me.
10) I just did a post a few days ago about all the tid bits you never wanted to know about me. You can find it here.
In addition here are some great blogs that really deserve this award and places you should definitely spend your free time checking out.
Acting Your Age. This is my dad's blog. It is so cute and he is even more adorable. The blog chronicles his walk to stardom. I do not expect him to pass this award on as I am sure he doesn't read any blogs other than mine and his but I have to give him a shout out!
Momma Amma. Another person who I found that lives very close to me. She is very creative and has super cute kids.
The Mother Load. Another person who lives by me. Kansas must be chalk full of talented blogging ladies. She is funny and has really interesting posts.
Alabaster Cow. This girl is funny, really funny. Enough said. You have to check her out.
Penny Pinchin Mom. She always has the latest deals and coupons and because of her I've scored some great stuff!
Little Green Notebook. She posts such beautiful items that I am in a constant state of stress on choosing which direction I should go in completely redecorating my home!
Live Off Groupon. I'm a Groupon junkie. If you don't know what Groupons are, go here. This guy is living solely off Groupons for a year and it is pretty fascinating. What a fun thing to do!
Lex Loci Lori. Like me, she is originally an Okie but she currently lives in Colorado (we lived there for about 3 years) so she must be cool.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteLove your 10 things.
#1 - I am not allergic to cats but I do not like cats and sometimes I tell people I am allergic so that they will keep their cats away from me.
#2 - ever since I have had kids I cannot even tell you how many COMMERCIALS have made me cry. I even cry when someone else is crying.
#3 - Macy has 2 older brothers as well and every girl that I meet that has older brothers is so incredible, I hope that Macy is the same way.
That was fun to read. Have a great day!
