A friend of mine from the blogosphere, Janine at My Kids Are Fun, gave me this super special Sunshine Award (Um…yes, I’ve been on a tongue-twister kick this week).
Thank you so much, Janine!
I am supposed to now give this away to TWELVE other bloggers but you know what? I am so new to the blogging world that I’m not sure I even KNOW 12 fellow bloggers.
Big loser. I know. I’ll stop being such a wallflower.
So I decided to give it to some of my most loyal commenters because, if you don’t know this already, comments are like rays of sunshine to a blogger. I also decided to give out a few to some new blogs I have just discovered that I really like.
Oh…Also, following the awards traditions, I must do the following:
2) Pass the award onto 12 fellow bloggers (well, almost…)
3) Link the nominees within my post (check)
4) Let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog
5) Share the love and link to the person whom you received this award from
Here’s who I would like to bestow my Sunshine Awards to:
Melody at Six Feet Over
C from Kid Things
Mandy from Random Thoughts
Tracy at Jesus. Woman. Words.
Clairity at Hip 2 B Mom
Caroline at Salsa Pie
Lily at The Surprise Lily
Elizabeth at Slippers and Socks
Kelly Jo at Typing One Handed
Jennifer at Playgroups Are No Place for Children
Andrea at Under Grace and Over Coffee
My friend, Lana, who comments on almost anything I write – she doesn’t have a blog but she is SUCH a supportive friend
Ditto to my friends Katherine Reed, Jen Stuelpe, and one of two male readers (one being my husband and he reads because I make him), Perico. You four just get the satisfaction in knowing that if you had a blog, which I think you should, I would give you a Sunshine Award.
Now get your best Academy Award speech ready and accept that award!
Awwww Natalie … you just made my day!! Thank you so much! :-) Wow, what a surprise!
I just adore your blog and you very much deserve this award.
Isn’t it so fun to ‘meet’ others in the blog world? I’ll check out the blogs you have listed later today…I need to go to bed. Yes, it’s almost 5am and I’m still awake. I’m so bad! lol

Hey pretty lady! You are definitely someone deserving of some “SUNSHINE”! I love you so much, my dear friend! Your talent and heart amaze me every day!
Thank you Susie Q! YOUR talent amazes me! No, yours…No, yours…HA!

Thank you so much – thanks for stopping by!
Thank you!!!! Did someone say “book reviews”? I love books and I read obsessively. I just got a Nook. I was such a hold-out for so long (traditional, paper-loving girl) but now I love it! I look forward to reading your reviews!
Ahh shucks! Thanks!
You are quite welcome, girlfriend!
Natalie, you have MADE MY DAY!!!! Thank you so much for thinking of me. I LOVE coming by your blog, and it means so much that you thought of me. Congrats on receiving your Sunshine Award, and thank for giving me a chance to make someone else’s day too!
And by the way, you HAVE been on quite the tongue twister kick! You’ve had my head spinning all week!

So happy that I did, Kelly Jo!
No twisters on tomorrow’s post. Promise. I’m over them, too.
Good luck on potty training. This too shall pass. Uck.
YAY!!! Thank you so much!!!!! Yes, comments are such a ray of sunshine to bloggers…especially newbies like myself!!! =)
.-= MandyP´s last blog ..Things I just don’t understand =-.
Um…I just got to thinking…does that mean that I now have to do the same thing you did with the awarding it to 12 bloggers, etc, etc? If so, it may take me days to complete that list with all the links and whatnot. Ha Ha!!!
.-= MandyP´s last blog ..Things I just don’t understand =-.
You can do it, girl! :) No seriously, I didn’t post this award to generate traffic or for selfish reasons. I just wanted to thank those who have read my posts since I started this past December. You are one.
Thank you so much for the “Sunshine” Award! Your blog is a little corner of sunshine for me!
.-= Caroline´s last blog ..Recap: Some Imaginative Activities =-.
As is yours, girlfriend. I love it. And I love that you are now expecting your FOURTH baby. Could it be a boy? Do you care? Another dear friend of mine is delivering on Monday and she has three girls. They don’t know what they are having – I love it. I bought her race car blue Robeez…We shall see. A blessing regardless, I know. I hope you feel better soon! Morning sickness…Uck.
I am so blessed by this! I was in the grocery store when I saw your email and started talking out loud about this pleasant surprise. People stared…I didn’t care. I am so pleased that I can serve as a ray of sunshine into your day. I am perfectly tickled about it!
Thank you so much for offering such a kindness to the middle of my week.
Blessings.

Thanks, Mandy. That is a HUGE compliment to me as I want my writing to sound this way. Five is hard but it’s also fun – I do really enjoy this age. Your shopping trips won’t be as eventful though! :)
Hello.This article was really motivating, especially because I was searching for thoughts on this topic last week.
