Winner of the One Lovely Blog Award!


Children's book bloggers, Alex, over at The Children's War and Barbara, over at March House Books have both nominated me for the One Lovely Blog Award. Two nominations in one week! And I am ever grateful. It makes my heart all warm and fuzzy to know that people have noticed, and perhaps like, the fruits of my labor here on the blog.

I must sincerely apologize for my delay in acknowledging and writing this post. I pray that the ladies don't change their minds about bestowing this honor on me.

Now for the fun part that comes with this honor. I get to tell you seven random things about me...



1. Yep. Never gonna be a morning person. My Mom says that even as a baby I was a night-owl.


2. I really DO think they sprinkle heroin, or some other extremely addictive substance on chips. I absolutely love them. Hubby says I get a spring in my step when I get to the chip aisle in the store. Ok, I must be honest, he calls it a "chip dance."


3. Depending on how big my hair is, I'm between 5' 3" and 5' 4". Hubby is a bit over 6'...the teasing commences as he shares the bathroom mirror with me. My head, in no way, obstructs his view.


4. I used to run. When I was eight.



5. Pardon my language, but it's true.



 6. Who am I kidding? That's my summer schedule. See you next spring "yoga."





7. Yep. That about sums it up for me. I love to garden. My fingernails look terrible all summer long, but I don't mind one bit. I was able to can quite a lot from my garden this year, and it felt terrific to know that we will have flavorful vegetables that I painstakingly nursed through the drought this summer, to eat this winter.

Now to nominate 15 other blogs to keep the Lovely Blog Award love flowing throughout the blogosphere. Man, only 15. There are so many blogs that I love. Here are my choices. In no particular order :)

  6. Congrats on the award/s. I am right there with you when it comes to "never gonna be a morning person". I am definitely a night owl- no doubt! I agree with all of your answers- except the gardening. I can't keep plants alive. My co-author, Jess, loves to garden and does enough for both of us. Looking forward to checking out the blogs you nominated. I follow some of them- but some are new.

  12. So I'm a little slow on the response, the message has been sitting in my inbox buried under a bunch of other emails >.<
    Unfortunately I don't have time to make a post, but I just wanted to stop by and say thanks so much for the mention! That was really thoughtful!

    I'm short too, and #4 is exactly like me haha :)
