Versatile Blogger Awards are Listed Here!!!

The Versatile Blogger Awards:

First on Friday I was listed on the Momnbaby.com website under their Latest News listing for my "No Time To Work Out Blog"! On Saturday June 18, 2011 I was given the Versatile Blogger Award by Cookie’s Chronicles!

Since I have just started blogging, being noted on a website and recieving an award from a fellow blogger this is very awesome. To receive the acknowledgement of someone who has been blogging longer than me is very exciting and motivating! I decided to pass on the awards to some bloggers that I follow and enjoy reading and suggest you check them out too!

According to tradition, having received the Versatile Blogger Award, I must share 7 things about myself with all of you and then award 10 fabulous new (to me) bloggers the Versatile Blogger Award.


Here are 7 things you may not know about me:

1. I have great ideas. I am extremely good at starting new things. I not only blog, but I run a home daycare, an online store through Etsy, raise two babies under the age of two, raise three rescue dogs, keep a fairly clean house, develop new toys for the kids to play with, and I love to recycle things to use around the house.

2. My favorite color is blue.

3. I am teaching myself to sew.

4. I have a large collection of leather coats even though I live in Arizona and don’t have many occasions to wear them.

5. I don’t wear jewelry often other than my wedding ring.

6. I love music, but rarely know whose singing or playing. Often, I’m the person in the car singing and jamming out that everyone makes fun of at red lights.

7. If I have a motto it is this: The liberated woman got lost along the way, the most liberating thing a woman can say is No, and I’m worth waiting for because there isn’t anything I can’t accomplish. I realize this may have many up in arms, but as you go through life you learn lessons and come to conclusions that others won’t always agree on.

And now to pass on the Versatile Blogger Award to 10 fabulous and versatile bloggers who I have come to know and admire.


I choose these bloggers because I enjoy what they have to say. Some offer great tips, some offer things that are relatable, some offer thought provoking idea’s or opinions and even if I don’t agree always they got me thinking, and some are just brave for putting themselves out there for others to judge.

1) Lily of http://lilyboxing.blogspot.com/. She has chronicled her weight loss which is brave. At the same time she also offers tips and great work out ideas!

2 and 3) Sue of both http://cookieschronicles.blogspot.com/ and http://cookieschronicles.blogspot.com/. She awarded me this Versatile Award and I’m sending one back as I love her book reviews and author interviews. She not only gives good reviews on both adult and kids books but she also documents her experiences as a mom!

4) Judy of http://judyfromtheblock.blogspot.com/. She offers great coupons when she finds them, her personal thoughts or opinions on events in life, and sometimes questions that even if they are simple like a favorite veggie you realize you haven’t thought about and they get you thinking!

5) Krista and Michael of http://tristancook.blogspot.com/. They has documented their journal through having a preemie, to becoming foodie’s, and now experiences in adoption/foster parenting!

6) Jesse of http://the-snider-fam.blogspot.com/. She shares her opinions and family events including the ear piercing dilemma, what to do on a rainy day, and her love of being a mom!

7) The Mayfield’s’ of http://www.mayfieldjourneys.blogspot.com/. They document their lives as missionaries overseas in India. Religion aside, this blog is enjoyable because it outlines living abroad with two babies and traveling with them. Her mommy moments crack me up, you know you will laugh when she starts a line with, “OH NO YOU DIDN’T” and relate to how she feels.

8) Alyssa of http://sandamaliska.blogspot.com/. From moments with her family, to business experiences, to good food, she shares herself with us all. I love the things she finds interesting and my mouth waters at times when she talks food!

9) Amanda of http://craftymama81.blogspot.com/. She's into interior design and loves crafts which I can relate too! She just started this blog and has posted a great father’s day gift idea that can be used for any holiday!

10) Monique of http://thesimpletreasures.blogspot.com/. She was going to have this be a craft sight, but as she is pregnant she has recently posted of her obsession with the new baby! Her humor had me laughing out loud and remembering pregnancy moments of my own!

Congratulations Bloggers!
