A couple of days ago, I was nominated by Andy Mulberry from Something Smells Fishy Here for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. When I received her message, I had to read it over and over again to make sure I got it right, even though it was pretty straight forward. So, a HUGE thank you to Andy for the nomination! It means so much to me when someone, somewhere, finds what I do worthy of recognition. And coming from a great writer like Andy, I couldn’t help but do a little dance of joy.
Andy is a working mom by day and a writer by night. I had the pleasure of connecting with Andy through another blog, where we discussed ingenious ways of promoting picture books through diapers (it can be done!). You can find her wonderful books on Amazon. And be sure to check out her amazing blog!
The award rules are:
Display the award on your blog
Link back to the person who nominated you
State 7 things about yourself
Nominate 15 bloggers, link to them, and notify them about their nominations
So, here are seven pretty random things about me:
I am an excellent singer. Idol material. A STAR! But only in the shower.
I enjoy watching my kids when they don’t know I’m looking; studying their little faces and the way they move, taking them in. I am so in love with them (obviously).
I have about 300 books on my reading list. I’m hoping I’ll be able to dive in as soon as the little one goes off to college. He’s 20 months old.
I love food. I love to eat. I enjoy eating with complete disregard for calories and am convinced that holiday food contains zero calories.
I also happened to have a Master’s degree in Nutrition.
If I could get away with it, I would wear jeans and a t-shirt every day and everywhere (and I do most of the time).
I love arts and crafts. Always have. Partly because I enjoy creating, but mostly because they help me stop thinking.
Here are my nominations; 15 incredible blogs and bloggers who have touched and inspired me in different ways.
Happy Sensitive Kids by Amanda van Mulligen, a wonderful lady who writes from her heart.
Highly Sensitive Child & Highly Sensitive Souls by Brenda Dronkers, a beautiful, successful, sensitive woman who has touched the lives of many.
