Over the Top

(and I don't just mean the Stallone Movie...)


MidwestMomsAward


Look what my friend Green Girl in Wisconsin gave me (that lovable galoshes-wearing gardener!) I'm so grateful to have her as a friend and to read her writing. She brings out my inner Cheese-head. :)

Now, it's time to pass along the fun. Here are the rules:


1.) Thank and post URL to the blog that gave the award. (Check!)

2.) Pass the award along to 6 brilliantly over the top blogs. Alert them so they know to receive the award. (Check!)

I'll pass this along to some of my favorites:

Me-Me at The Screaming Me-Me! Whose writing never fails to make me laugh. [MadMadMargo on Twitter]

Rayne at Rayne of Terror, who -- like me -- loves to garden. [devivo on Twitter]

Leighann at Multi-Minding Mom, the greenest of my greenie girlfriends and a terrific blogger. [LeighannMMM on Twitter]

Stacey (Mom24) at 4everMom, a fantastically frugal meal-planning mom, whose life is so full, it's hard to keep up! [Mom24 on BlogCatalog]

Lesley at My Turn to Talk, a new friend I'm so glad to have. [Latest post, which I love, Blink.]

And

  4. Hi You Sweetie! Thank you for this ultimate compliment! Like Lesley, it's been a fabulous experience making friends thru blogging because I never expected this bonus side of it!

    I sent you an email a while ago that I'm thinking you didn't get? It was regarding your writing for Blog Catalog. The link thru your profile to supposedly email is what I used. Could you send me an email to joyisours@sbcglobal.net so I can re-send it? Thanks!
    Hugs

  5. You deserve this award.
    Lady bugs? Really? I've trained my kids to view the buggers as the enemy.
