My First Blogging Award!

Have you noticed how I always put an exclamation point at the end of my post titles?

Anywho.....

Guess What?

Yes, little ol' me received a blogging award!

(Oops, there's that exclamation point again :-)

My new bloggy friend Keely over at MannLand5 gave me this:



Thanks Keely! You are too kind.

So here's the rules:

1. List 10 things that make you happy.
2. Give this award to 10 "Sweet Friends."

Ten Things that Make Me Happy:
1. Tator Tot Hotdish (watch for the upcoming post)

2. Warm beaches in Mexico (it's -13 degrees outside as I write this)

3. Cuddling with my kiddos

4. Date night with DH

5. Camping

6. A good night's sleep

7. White chocolate mocha...yum

8. Being able to fit into my "skinny" jeans (no, not there yet)

9. A good message at church that really makes me think.

10. Blogging-reading blogs & meeting other blog readers/writers.

My Ten "Sweet Friends" (Breakin' the rules, You are NOT obligated to name Ten more blogs, only if you want to :-)

1. Becky at "In the Trenches"

2. Marsha at "Taste and See God's Goodness"

3. Gram at "Just a Gram" and "Glittergrammie"

4. Esther at "The Mommy Diaries"

5. Jenney at "TheDrays Today"

6. Kim at "Mom Tried It"

7. Amy at "Our Crazy Love"

8. Teresa at "Journaling Woman"

9. Ms. Diva at "Knit One Max Too"

10. Mommy From the Midwest

Wow, that was so hard having to choose from all you great bloggers out there!

So, now I'm curious, If YOU could give a BLOG award to anyone, Who would it be and Why?

Mine would have to be Nie Nie. She truly is an inspiration.

You are just so awesome! Oops, there I am with the exclamation points. lol.
There are so many great blogs out there. I don't think I could decide on just one. Can I just suck up and say yours? **wink, wink**

Congrats on your first blog award!

I read your post after this one, and I love that goal. I've always wanted to read the entire bible front to back, and think it's a great goal for this year.

Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!

How did you know I am a sucker {{have no will power}} for sweets!

I have loved getting to know you. There are some blogs you pass by and some you are just polite to go to, but YOU I really honestly would like to call a friend. I feel like if we met in real life we would click and be friends:) Thanks so much for the award chicka.

Ms. Diva said...

Good Morning Cop Mama...
I was out blog hopping and found your beautiful little home. How exciting. You are just the cutest little thing, and I love that you like to use exclamation points because I do too, alot!

Congrats on your award. How awesome. They are such fun to get, but so much work to post. Gotta love them.

Love your goal for the New Year. That is a lot of reading. I pray you can do it. I read every night, but you have challenged me to read a little harder. Thank you my friend.

Please stop by and say hi. I would be so honored to have you follow my blog as well.

Country hugs sweetie...Sherry

Laura said...

Congrats on the award!! I am a ! lover too, I by far use them way more than a boring old period! (see) :) My husband would marry you if he saw your #1, he's obsessed with hotdish but I never make it...maybe after you post your recipe! :) Yeah, it was -19 when we woke up today, so not cool. A beach sounds fabulous right now!

Ethan, Zach, and Emma's Mom said...

Thanks, friend! I agree with you--Nie Nie is an awesome blog. I also try to get over to Pioneer Woman every once and a while--I just got her cookbook for Christmas and it's WONDERFUL. I'll probably post my list on Tuesday! :-)

Amy O'Connor said...

Aww, thank you! I agree with you on Nie Nie. She is a real inspiration.

G'morn ~ Your goals are admirable!
Best of luck in achieving them ... I don't do goals so much, just accomplish what needs to be done as I go along.

I use the ~tilda~ more than anything.

Congrats on your lovely award ...

Have a beautiful day.

Don't worry about the exclamation points, we all have our little quirks. I like to use ... a lot. Why? Don't know!

Congrats on your award!
