Donetta at A Life Uncommon and Deb at Mom Of 3 Girls have awarded me with the Daily Dose Award, which completely made my day not once, but twice! The award is supposed to be passed along to “All the blogs that you’ve discovered that you can’t possibly live without. They make you laugh, cry, think and feel connected every time you read a post. They give you a thrill as you see them loading into your browser and you get an equally satisfying thrill when you see that they have commented on your blog.” Thank you Donetta and Deb! I feel the same about each of your blogs and would pass it right back to you if given the chance. I would love to pass this award on to the following lovely bloggers (Corey, Summer, and Melody - I would have loved to pass this on to you too, but someone already beat me to it…). These ladies challenge me in so many different ways. They allow me to see things from new angles, inspire me through their parenting, touch me with their transparency. They gift my baby-babble-infused brain with a few daily moments of intricate wit. They remind me that, no, the itty-bitty intellectual piece of my being isn’t completely dead. It’s just buried in mashed bananas and goldfish cracker crumbs. Oh, and Jo and TaunaLen… thanks for sending me to the dictionary on occasion : )
This award was sent to me via email from a blogging friend who has a private blog. She’s a police officer’s wife and asked to remain anonymous, so thank you “Miss Anonymous” - I treasure your friendship as well. I would like to pass this award on the following amazing individuals. You’ve been the shoulder’s I’ve cried on, the bloggers I’ve run to for advice, the gal-pals I’ve giggled with and friends that I cherish. You’ve kept Jacqui in your thoughts and prayers through her rough times, you’ve checked up on us if my blog goes a little ‘too quiet’. For all these reasons, and so many more, I thank you.
Deb at Mom of 3 Girls
Donetta at A Life Uncommon blessed me with this special award (she’s spoiling me rotten!) I immediately thought of a few special ladies who go out of their way to encourage others in the midst of extreme challenges in their own lives. Each of you are an inspiration and I am so grateful that I have gotten to know you through your blogs.
This last award is from Tiff at Three Ring Circus. It means a lot, because Tiff is plain amazing. If I made her day, then she just made my week by saying so. I would like to pass this award on to some very special ladies who never fail to make my day. You light up my little corner of Blogland with your kind hearts and thoughtful words. You never fail to make me smile. Each of you are a treasure!
Congrats to each of you and thanks for making my little world brighter : )

awww - love & hugs. Hope you had a GREAT weekend. I bet Jacqui’s being daddy’s little helper. Bet we get a good story out of it! Ha!
February 3rd, 2008 at 2:34 am
Gosh, I’m blushing.
Thank you so much. I feel the same way about your blog writing Michelle.
February 3rd, 2008 at 4:15 am
Thanks for being so sweet! I needed a good refreshing post to read … I definitely need a break from the stomach flu that is still plaguing our house?!?
February 3rd, 2008 at 7:01 pm
I do hope you are/did enjoying your weekend away. I do hope Ken is alive and the house still standing when you return…I’m not so much worried about the kids…Jacqui can handle it.
Congratulations on your many recognitions.
You, my dear, are a superb story teller, a woman of strong faith who inspires me, (apparently) an octopus with all that you accomplish, and one of my treasured friends. Thank you for listening to me whine and ramble, and thank you for the friendship…the award and cute button is simply a little plus.

Aww.. thanks. A friendship award means a lot coming from you. I haven’t been blogging much lately as I am buried in real life stuff right now. I know you understand what i am talking about. I will get his up on my blog soon though.
thanks again!

Thanks for your Forever Friendship, my dear. How was the scrapbooking adventure? I wish I could have gone this year. I didn’t know about it until I read your post, but I’d just been with my extended family for eleven days total, so I’m sure it was good that I didn’t turn right around and leave again. Hopefully next year! Keep me posted.
I know you get a lot of these, but I tagged you for a meme over at my blog. I had to include you since you’re my blogging mentor! :-)
Hugs!

Aww, Shucks!! Somehow i missed that one in my reader, so thanks for letting me know! You’re such a sweetie. Isn’t there a saying something like “like attracts like?” You’re easy to be friends with. Not that I wouldn’t be if you weren’t, but you know what I’m saying. Thanks again, and blessings to you! I feel the same about you (I guess I already said that, huh?)
February 5th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Thank you Michelle. The same back at ya!
Love and blessings,
Chelsea

Have a great weekend! My husband and daughter are off to a father-daughter retreat, leaving me home alone with Sam.
February 6th, 2008 at 3:33 am
Thank you for the wonderful words!! You have already been such a blessing in my life - I love laughing and crying with you. It’s truly amazing to me that the blogging world has brought so many treasures into my life.
February 7th, 2008 at 6:27 am
Thank you so much, Michelle! You deserve all these awards and more! On any given day, I can come to your blog and laugh or cry, but I am always inspired!
Bless you, girl!
