Award From Some New Blogging Friends

I received a nice award from two of my new blogging friends. I got this award:



Both Amy from Keeping up with the Schultz Family & Joy from Joyful Journey gave me this award. Thanks ladies!

I think I'm supposed to list some random things about myself & then pass it on. I will list a few random things. And anyone who hasn't received this yet consider it passed on to you.

1. My birthday is next Friday
2. It is the same day as The Girl Scout Birthday
3. My MIL & SIL left for Disney World yesterday
4. They have been there I swear 15 times already
5. I wish I was going to Disney World again!

Hope you all have a great day!

Aloha Friday ~ Follow Friday

An Island Life hosts this meme. Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

My question: Do you ever cook using a crockpot? If so any recipes you like?

My Answer: Lately I have been using my crockpot again. Once a week I have made something in the crockpot. Split Pea Soup, Beef Stew, Onion Soup, and today I'm trying something new. Beef & Chinese Pea Pods. I hope it comes out ok.

Two Nice Awards

I received two awards this weekend. The first one was sent to me through Entrecard with this message attached:


The rules are as follows - you may pass the medal on to any blogs either now or in the future that are regular and dedicated droppers onto your site. You may not mention whom you are passing the medal on to or who has given the medal to you. It is a reward to the dedicated droppers of Entrecard and will show other bloggers who they are.

This is the "Gold Medal Top Dropper Award." Thanks to the person (I'm not supposed to mention who) gave it to me.




The other award I received is the Coolest blog award. I received it from Karen & Gerard Zemeks. Thanks guys for the award! **Edit** I also just received this award from Symphony of Love's Blog! Thanks!





I'd like to pass this one to some other "cool" blogs I know:

It is nap time
Mummy Diaries
Healthy Living
On The Verge

Go check out these blogs they're "cool!"

I Got an Award

My online friend Toni from It is nap time, gave me this award. Go check out Toni's blog for some great posts! Thanks Toni for the award!

They all are charmed with the blogs, where in the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut or that they propagate? Then let’s try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to 8 bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text. I am passing this award to:

This is the part I don't like about getting awards. I don't want to "tag" anyone. Maybe I'm weird, but I don't feel like passing it on. So I'm just going to say "Thanks Again Toni" for the award!
