Sweet Miss Kellie at La Vida Dulce has bestowed upon me my very first bloggy award because I make her day!  As the mom of a teenager I rarely hear that I’ve made somebody’s day so Kellie’s award is a special one  to receive.

     When I started my own blog four months ago Kellie’s was one of the first blogs I started reading.  I quickly discovered that she and I had a lot in common but I was very surprised to learn that she lived mere miles from me.  We’ve hung out a couple of times since then and I just love that girl.  She is honest and real and a whole lot of fun.  Her blog makes me laugh out loud some days and other days I find myself hollering “Amen sister” to my monitor as I read her posts. 

     I’m paying this award forward my friends.  Who makes my day?  I thought you’d never ask. 

     Heather at A Day In The Life because we have so much in common I have to wonder if we were seperated at birth.  I’m always excited to see a new post from her in my bloglines and I look forward the the witty comments she always leaves.  She’s just an all around groovy girl.

     Givinya De Elba at Killing a Fly With A Ukelele Is Probably The Wrong Thing To Do.  Phew.  That was a mouthful.  She’s an Aussie from down under.  I love that she is a glass half-full kind of girl.  I think we’d get along swimmingly if we met but I don’t foresee myself making it to Australia anytime soon so our little online friendship will have to do!

     Amy at One Mom’s Memos totally makes my day too.  She is thoughtful and genuine and I love getting emails from her because she always has something interesting to say. 

     Okay, last but not least is The Queen B because she cracks. me. up.  Hilarious I tell ya.  She’s the go-to girl when you need a laugh.  Love her.
