Blog Awards---

Someone gave my Blog an award. I cannot believe it.
I received an email from  my dear friend Sarah letting me know she appreciates my blog and has given me an award. I Love her so much and her friendship means a lot to me. Some people you become friends with and some you become Family. She is more a sister than a friend in this sense. This woman is really creative (should open her store the Byrd's Nest) and has the CUTEST Princess daughter whom Daniel shares her Birthday (they are a year apart). I could go on for this whole entry but I can't. There are so many other blogs I get inspiration from that choosing just 5 will be very hard!!


Now - the rules of the Sunshine award are that you have to award 5 other blogs. I don't mind doing this as I can share with you some lovely bloggers that I love to read on a regular basis.

Some of these will not know since I don't have their emails. (this only applies to one of them)

1.My Friend Michelle. I Love following her family she has two kids Brookston and Kaisley. I just love how willing they are to share their life with everyone. I just think their kids are so LUCKY and Blessed to have them as parents. She is another PAL mommy (Parenting after Loss) I love reading her Blog and if she gets multiple awards that's because she's that amazing.

2. It's So Very Cheri. Okay Sarah Got me hooked and actually Cheri is one of my known followers. (I have lots of folks reading stalking me. It just was one of those times I went clicking on a BLOG Button, went there, and almost instantly FELL in LOVE.
Another lesson in the you got a blog you need a button because you never know how people find you. Currently she's changed her website and is helping folks with changing over their links.
I am waiting for a button.

3. Kailah. She is an amazing mix of everything.  Life with her family, Real life tales of how Dave Ramsey changed their life. She is becoming more an advocate for ICAN...International Cesarean Awareness Network (okay if I got it wrong please let me know). I think she is expecting again and planning a VBAC (vaginal Birth after Cesarean) She should really after all of this think about becoming a Doula. I think she's be a great one and she'd be able to speak into other's lives.

4. The Hoover Household
I know what you're thinking. It's me right... NO it's a real family who just happen to share our last name.totally not related.
They are Church planters who are currently in Virginia who have 3 boys, one who has Autism. She recently wrote a bunch about being his mom and the struggles she faced. Like so many of my friends who like me share challenges and victories with our kids.
There has been more than a few gems of revelation on here. She is purely faith based and totally real.

5. Erin and AL

These folks have been friends with us since like forever and Al was the Best Man in our wedding more than 12 years ago. She just shares life and that is worthy of attention. They have 2 beautiful daughters Samantha and Allysa (again if I got something wrong please accept my apologies and an instant EDIT). Again These people are more Family than they are friends and I LOVE reading what they are up to.I am praying for AL to get lots of generous Job offers that make more money and possibly either tele commuting or something of that fashion so he can spend time with his family. He is currently doing something called Team-In-Training.

If my friend Barbara is reading  I am working on your wedding photos (because I have been banging my head on my desk trying to fix your photos 2 photo programs later) You deserve the best and I will get you some soon to see on one of Andrew's Flash drives.
The pics from the ceremony need color help (we should have just changed the feature on our camera and just took black and white photographs)
And Yes we were standing in the vestibule when you came out of the closet Bride Room. You don't remember that although I'll never forget that moment.

Be blessed because I am
