How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

In No Particular Order!!

in Uncategorized on

Over the last couple of months I have been passed on some fabulous awards by amazing bloggers that inspire and entertain. It is my turn to pay it forward.
I thank each of you for thinking my blog worthy!
As you know I am not much of a rule follower! I have posted the rules that go with each of these lovely blogs, but have chosen to just pass on each award to one blogger. (It was either that or find a way to link each and every one of you and I’m just not that tech savvy!)

So in no particular order….

Vicki From Frugal Mom Know Best gave me an award!!

Here are the rules of this award:
– This award is bestowed on to blogs that are exceedingly charming.
– These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends.
– They are not interested in self-aggrandizement.
– Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.
– Please give more attention to these writers.
– Deliver this award to other bloggers who must choose others to pass it on to and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.
– I will pass this award to some of my bloggy friends that I find exceedingly charming…

*I have chosen to pass this award on to The Wife at The Cobia Family. Yep, this award fits her perfectly!

Ohhh…but I can’t stop there! The ever charming Kellogsville bestowed me with the GREAT READ award!

The rules of this award seem to be that I am to list 10 of my favorite things in any category? Mmmm. Endless possibilities really.
10 fave wines
10 fave foods
10 best memories

I think I am going to go with 10 best Memories:

1) Meeting my Hubby on a far off tropical beach. He drove me crazy, made my heart flutter and confused me all at the same time. He was a hottie. I should have known right then and there we were meant to be.

2)The day Hubby proposed….sigh. Tears in his eyes, tears in mine.

3)Landing that job I fought so hard for.

4)Birth of both babies:)

5)Summers up north with my parents when I was a kid. No TV, no computer. Just my sister and the lake for entertainment.

6)1oth Wedding Anniversary trip back to the beach where we met. Are we sappy or what!

7) Taking New York City by storm! The museums, the food, Central Park, Broadway.

8) First time we took the girls to Disney World. (gee to you think we like to travel?)

9) My BlueEyed Girls first Gymnastics meet….the pride in her eyes as she stood on the podium. Never to be forgotten.

10) Christmas morning….can I just say EVERY Christmas morning with my family.

There. Sappy time over!!

* I will pass on this little lovely too…Speaking From The Crib because who doesn’t want to know more about her!! Holy cow is she funny!!

NEXT!

The fabulous Heather over at Theata Mom has passed on an award to me! The bloggerbuddie Award.

Not only am I honoured to have Heather consider me one of her blogging pals, but I love this award because there does not seem to be too many rules attached!

Therefore I am going to give a shout out to one of my old favorites. Hope you will stop by and say Hello to:

Amy and Lady Di over at Daily Doses of Mama Drama

Many thanks to the uber cool chic Army Blond over at I can’t believe I’m still single for bestowing me with the Swanky Blog Award!!

For those of you that don’t know what swank means (don’t feel bad, I wasn’t familiar with the word either), it mean dashing smartness according to dictionary.com. Thus, thank you for thinking I’m dashing and smart all in one award!
On receiving the award, it is advised (not ordered) to mention and link the blogger who nominated you (DONE!), nominate and link up to 9 blogs (see below) to receive the award whose blogs amuse, allure, bewitch, impress and inspire you and Inform the bloggers they have been awarded in their comment boxes.
The nominee to whom I would to pass on this award is:

Penelope at Penelope’s Oasis

I do think she is dashing and smart!

Also a big thanks to Heart Niki at Notepad Chaos for her fabulous Good Read Blog Love Award!

They aren’t a lot of rules with this little baby, so I would love to ask you to pop over and visit Heart Niki and then pass on the love to….

technodoll at Bubblegum Diaries

She is always leaves the sweetest comments and definitely deserves some bloggy love!!

Last thing!

I also want to give a shout out to Jen at Shopaholic Social Worker for honouring me with the Kreativ Blogger Award.
