Passing It On

It’s fun to receive acknowledgement — ANY kind of acknowledgement. And, lately, I’ve gotten my fair share of that in the form of “Blog Awards.” But, I have yet to pass these award on. It’s not that I was being lazy, I just wanted to take some time to consider who needed to be acknowledged for their blog, attitude, and/or personality.

SO . . . .

I’m going to pass along some awards that I was honored to receive. I’m guessing that everyone knows the rules that usually go along with this so I’m not going to mention those yet again.

Instead, for those of you that receive these, just take some time to think about who you think REALLY deserves some acclaim, a shout-out, or “bloggy love” . . . for any reason. Let them (I’m not setting any limits on how many people can receive these) know that you appreciate them!

Without further delay —

The “You Rock” Award.

Elizabeth, at Parenting Pink, sent this today.

I’ve always thought that I rocked, but it’s nice to have it in print! 😉

I’m passing this along to:

Jessica, at The Youngbloods.

This mom of twin boys was a member of my husband’s youth group FOREVER ago. She has an adorable family and recently won quite a victory!

Katherine, of Katherine Unabridged.

I love her blog because she is an unbelievably gifted writer. Plus, (like me) she’s determined to figure out motherhood, marriage, and life in general!

The “Kind Blogger” Award

This is another award I’ve previously mentioned but waited to choose recipients.

The following blogger is getting this award:

Renee of Cutie Bootie Cakes.

She has an amazing perspective on life, challenging herself AND her readers with thought-provoking posts.

The “I ‘Heart’ Your Blog” Award

I posted about this one when I received it last, but I waited to choose additional recepients.

Here are the people receiving this award:

Denise at Run, DMT.

This blogger is a marathon runner and her posts keep me motivated! She also just had her first giveaway and created a HILARIOUS v-log to announce the winner.

Andrea of Prima Crafty Mama

This woman REALLY is crafty and she always shares, whether it be craft instructions or free digital scrapping websites. I love checking in to she what she has whipped up — I totally wish I had her creative spark!

The “Cool(est) Big Sister In the (Blog) World” Blog Award

Photobucket

My little sister, Hannah (from That Girl) sent this my way. Even though we ARE biological sisters, the award is meant to be given to ANYONE you consider to be a sister . . . “whether she be your biological sister, yo’ Soul-Sista, or a close friend that you look up to.” (and, this is another one where you can give this out as many times as you want!!!!)

In the world of blogging, there are many (MANY) people that I admire and this next blogger is definitely at the top of that list. She is funny, a great mom, and incredibly encouraging to all bloggers at the Mom Blogger’s Club.

Jen from Cheaper Than Therapy

I’m sure everyone knows her blog, how great it is, and how great SHE is at helping/encouraging the rest of us. Jen most definitely deserves some acclaim for all that she does.

Petra of The Wise (Young) Mommy

Petra is another blogger who writes incredibly witty posts that always make me smile. Besides, after what her daughter called her, she needs a “pick-me-up!”
