Blog Love

I got my very first blog award! It is the Lemonade Award and I received it because Mel from A Voice For Moms thinks I demonstrate a good attitude with my blog: if life hands you lemons, make lemonade! This is especially humbling to receive from Mel, as she is unfailingly positive and supportive even when her own life has taken a difficult turn. Thank you so much for thinking of me, Mel.

The rules:
1. Put the logo on your blog.
2. Nominate at least 10 5 blogs* that show great attitude and/or gratitude.
3. Have your 10 5 pass it along to 10 5 more!
*I am a little on the shy side and worry that people I don't know well might think this was all chain-letter-y, so I reduced the number to 5.

So here are my 10 5 nominees:

• Dodi from It's a (Dodi's) Life - She gave me my very first comment from someone to whom I was not related. Her blog makes me laugh and wish we lived in the same town.
• Blue Violet from A Nut in a Nutshell - She always has an encouraging word when life with Z is tough. Plus, she doesn't hold my total blond moments against me!
• Jennifer from Rundpinne - We seem to be on the same wavelength and she has given me so many good ideas for my blog.
• Jamie from Kids... Me & RAW III - She cracks me up! Also, it was she who encouraged me to branch out and start The Button Box.
• Dana from Cherry Soup - She was my very first follower and always has something cheerful to say.

Also? I will call this my thankful list for today. I am thankful that I stumbled across all of these lovely ladies out there in the great big blogosphere. And to Mel, who warmed my heart.
