Bloggers With Integrity Award

While I was visiting one of my favorite blogs, Comedy Plus, I noticed something pretty cool!  Sandee has passed this award on to me.  Thanks Sandee!  I appreciate it so much! This really made my day! This award was authored by The Little Aussie Cynic to honor those blogs with integrity.

Here's Aussie's post:

"After looking, reading and watching many many Blogs and bloggers I decided to issue some recognition to those fellow bloggers I feel maintain integrity in the Blogs. All these bloggers incorporate within their wonderful sites, an integrity not always seen. They share terrific stories, topics, discussions and images. All Well worth a look."

What's really cool about this award is that there are different categories. This makes it even more special! I am going to pass it on in this same fashion.I would like to award the following bloggers with this award:

~For Creativity~

• Bridget at .."And Miles To Go Before We Sleep..."
• Frigga at Any Apples
• Sandee at Comedy Plus (back atcha!)   
• Gattina at WRITER CRAMPS

~For The Spirit of Giving~

• Kara at A bit of me   
• Anna at Beth & Cory's Mom
• Alison at Cherished Moments with my 2 Angels

  ~For Staying True To Their Beliefs~   

• Michelle at Life Is Just Ducky
• Deb at Mom Of 3 Girls   
• Natalie at State of Confusion

~For Keeping it Real~

• Misty Dawn at My Dogs Keep Me Sane 
• Barb at Skittles' Place 
• "Nap Warden" at The Chronicles of a SAHM
• Malcolm at Pop Culture Dish, Presented by Malcolm

*For Social Conscience* was another category - I just didn't use it.  When you pass it on, you might want to include it.

So, take your prize and award it to those blogs you deem deserving. Again, thanks Sandee. You're the best!

Wonder Women!

Smile Award

Anna over at Beth & Cory's Mom has just given me the "You Make Me Smile Award."  It was originally created by Bridget at And Miles to Go Before We Sleep...I have really enjoyed getting to know other bloggers over the past few months. Why didn't I start doing this sooner??

Here are 7 people that make me smile each day.  Please take your award and pass it around to at least three others!

1. Gattina at Writer Cramps  -   I just love your sense of humor.  When I need a good laugh, I know where to check.  You also find the funniest cartoons!  And, most importantly, you aren't afraid to "tell it like it is."

2. Frigga at Any Apples - I love your stories (The one about your office "Bear" was so well written, I was grinning from ear to ear.  We've all been in similar circumstances!)  You are so honest and truly funny. 

3. Sandee at Comedy Plus - You find the funniest jokes...but you are also genuinely sweet.  I enjoyed reading your 5 Best Nights post....very revealing!!  I check your site first thing in the morning for a big smile to start my day.

4. Kara at A Bit of Me - You really helped me figure out all this blogging stuff...even if you didn't know it at the time (haha).  Thanks for your kind e-mail!  I love hearing about all the stuff that goes on with Baby, Toddler, and Little Baby. You have a hectic life right now...but you're also young and energetic!   

5. Malcolm at Pop Culture Dish - I enjoy reading about "eclectic" bits of pop culture.  Your blog is "right up my alley."  I'm a mom....but I also like the pop culture you're dishing.  I'm guessing it would be really hard to beat you at any type of entertainment trivia game!

6. Barb at Skittles' Place - I never know what I'm going to get on your site...and I love that!  You always find funny prizes and "interesting" YouTube clips.....I especially  loved your movie quiz. Can you tell?

7. Alison at Cherished Moments with My 2 Angels  - You always leave the sweetest comments. I enjoy reading about your adventures with Drew and Mikayla.   I really feel like I know you!  Just the fact that we're both teachers and from the south gives us a lot to talk about...and then I find out that ya'll are SEC college football fans.  Need I say more?  : )
