I'd Like to Thank the Academy...

I mean Marci over at All Things Wonderful for picking me to give this wonderful award to!!!


Thank You Marci!!! I am so excited! This is my very first blog award and I feel like a little giddy school girl.

Marci who gave this to me is a good friend that I have known for about a year and a half now. She has children about the same age as mine and we were even pregnant at the same time with our little girls. She is such a wonderful Christian woman, who always has something uplifting and joyful to say on her blog. She's also one of the trendiest gals I know always dressing so cute!

She told me I'm supposed to list 5 things that I'm addicted to, and I'm supposed to pass this on to 5 blogs that I'm addicted to. So here it goes...

1. I LOVE the store Aldo. They have the cutest bags (reasonably priced I might add), jewelry, and Shoes!!! I bought the cutest pair of purple boots there...on sale! I promise they are cuuuuuttteeee!!!


2. I can't get enough of the store



Stylish, cheap, and did I mention I love it! I found tons of great finds here after Christmas. Yay!

3. I am super addicted to sweet tea...it is like the nectar of the gods! I makes me really happy, but sadly I'm trying to cut it out and get healthy (wish me luck!).

4. I could drink a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino just about everyday. Yes that's right...they're just that good!

5. Lastly but certainly not least...I am addicted to (drum roll please)...

These books are wonderful...I have read each of them more than once...and I can't get enough!

Now for the wonderful blogs that I am addicted to and will be passing this Sweet little prize on to (again, drum roll please!)...

JenJen over at Tatertots and Jello. I just found this blog about a week or so ago, but I love it! She always has way cute decor ideas, and not only does she talk about fashion, but she also talks about finding it for discount!!! My kind of girl!

Wendy at The Shabby Nest because I love all of her ideas! She has the greatest Shabby Chic style, and is always so sweet to share her ideas. Her pictures aren't too "shabby" either!

Joy at Joys of Home might be one of the most creative people I've ever come across! I can not get enough of her blog! She is a woman after my own heart, always searching out antique, flea market, yard sale finds (once I think she even picked something up off the side of the road) and turning them into treasures! And she's not afraid to use some spray paint either!

Amy over at Watch Me Shrink because after I came across her blog it inspired me to start trying to be healthier and to start my own gettin' healthy blog (Diary of a Hungry Mom). She shares her weight loss goals, victories, and struggles, and it helps to keep me going! As women don't we need to support each other and cheer each other on!?!

Malisa at God is Good...All the Time. I have known Malisa forever (since grade school) and she has the sweetest spirit! Her posts are always so funny and always make me feel super good. She is also such an inspiration...she is a wife, a mother of 3 young boys, works, is going to college to become a teacher, and still finds time to blog (can we all say Super Woman!). So I think Malisa has earned this award for sure!!!

Well there you have it! Thank you again Marci for my wonderful award! I'm so thankful and excited!!!
