Black Friday aka Award Day!

I thought I'd take a moment to share a couple of recent awards. I am thankful for bloggers who continue to come here and read my ramblings, and are still willing and moved to leave me awards. Awesome! I've met some really wonderful women, blogging about their lives, their loves, and their frustrations. I look forward to growing these new relationships and adding others in the days to come.

Okay, enough blabbering. Let's get to the awards...




I received this Heartfelt Blogger Award from my friend and fellow heartmom, Lisa @ Welcome to the Nuthouse.


I never follow the rules when it comes to blog awards and I'm sorry if that hurts anyone's feelings. (I tend to think for myself.) If you are interested in the exact rules, you may have to do a Google search. (My friends tend to think for themselves, too, when it comes to award rules!)

And......

I received the "One Lovely Blog Award" from two friends! Elle @ Stilettos and Vodka and Tami @ Hearts Make Families.

It thrills my heart to know that these ladies find my blog worthy of this award!

I am passing both of these awards on to a few of my favorite blogs, which isn't easy to do-there are so many!

Blue Violet @ A Nut in a Nutshell

Ann @ Ann Again...and again....

Heather @ Theta Mom

Lauren @ Mud Mama

Ida Red @ Under the Golden Apple Tree

Ali @ One Chic Mommy

The famous (or is that infamous?) Redhead Riter

and

Colleen @ A Madison Mom

Congratulations, ladies!!

I know I have received three, maybe four, additional awards that I neglected to post. If you sent me an award that I never acknowledged, I am truly sorry! I had good intentions... I promise!
