Two lovely bloggers have recognized me with blog awards this week! Lucky you, because their kindness has most likely saved you from a grumpy rant this morning (yes, despite my happy posts lately, I get grumpy too!). Maybe tomorrow I’ll write about it and have some miraculous solution to my dilemma, but it seems unlikely. Sometimes in life there is no way to make everyone happy and you just have to make the best of it.
For today, I want to say thank you to Tiffany at Organic Parenthood, who has honored me with the Blog With Substance Award! If you haven’t visited Tiffany’s blog before, head on over to read her honest posts about motherhood and great ideas for living green!
To accept this award, I must:
1. Thank the person who gave it to me.
2. Sum up my blogging philosophy/motivation/experience in/with five words.
3. Pass this award on to 10 (!) bloggers who I consider to have substance.
My blogging philosophy/motivation/experience in five words:
* Connect * Journal * Respect * Engage * Variety *
Ten Blogs of substance that I believe deserve this award:
1. Tracy at Tall Tales.
2. Chanda at The Eco Cheap Mom.
3. Lara at Overstuffed.
4. Mumma Tutu.
5. Kaylyn at Mommy Mischief.
6. Joy at The Practical Mom Guide.
7. Kari at P.S.Love.Love.
8. Vanessa at Much More than Mommy.
9. Erika at The Girl Next Door Grows Up.
10. Tami at Hearts Make Families.
I also appreciated receiving the Sunshine Award from Megan at The Adventures of a New Mom. Megan’s blog always makes me smile and I can imagine arranging a play date and having a great time chatting it up.
I’m going to cheat a bit here. I received this award awhile back, and you can see my nominees from February here.



You made my morning – Thanks! I will accept the award in a couple of days!
Especially love the pic of the kids!
Thank you, Mindy! It’s nice to have such sweet blog/twitter friends!
That picture is priceless! Thank you so much for the award. You made my day:)
Congrats on your awards! You’ve passed them on to some worthy recipients, some of which are new to me, so will have to check them out!
Thank you, my friend, for the award. This one is a first for me and I’m intrigued that I’ll have to come up with 5 words about my blogging. Hard for a talker like me :o)
ps…love the photo of the 2 kids playing TOGETHER. Mine haven’t reached that milestone yet. It’s more like WWIII when they play together – hehe!
