Honored


I was nominated for the Beautiful Blogger Award by Christine of We Are All Mothers. A big thank you goes out to Christine for this nomination. It always amazes me how similar trials and struggles can bring people together. That has certainly been the case with my infertility and the blogging world. Many of these women, such as Christine, I have never even met, yet there is a bond that roots deep in my heart for each one of them. Christine has been through quite the battle, but has stood triumphantly atop her mountain as she has received a few "choice" miracles. Christine and her family are now on the road to adopt in order to expand their family a little more. To learn more of Christine and to be inspired by our role as women and mothers (like I always am), visit her blog:

Okay...here are the rules of the award:

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award and included a link to their blog.
2. Pass on the award to 5 other bloggers who you think are great!
3. Contact the other bloggers and let them know they have been chosen for this award.
4. Say 7 things about yourself.
Other Bloggers That I Think Are Great Are....

Tarrin of the blog Profiles and Petri Dishes. Besides the fact that I love the creative name and unique blog header, she has been with me through much of my struggle with infertility. She has been richly blessed by adoption with one adorably cute 2 year old little girl and a brand new little guy in her family!

Natalie of the blog A Healing Journey is a woman of amazing faith and courage. After a 6 year battle with infertility, she was blessed with a sweet baby boy only to loose him a few short days before she was to be induced. Her strength to share her tremendously heavy story with such faith has left me a better person. She recently brought a healthy and beautiful baby girl into the world and I couldn't be more excited for her!!!

I just LOVE Blaire of Homemade by Blaire...not to mention her photography blog, painting blog, and family blog are all equally as amazing. This girl is awesome is more ways than one! I terribly miss living near her as there is so much I could learn from her. 

Laura of Beyond the Rain. This girl is an example of how diligence pays off! She recently was blessed with a baby girl after a long fight with infertility. I love how she introduces a little laughter into several of her posts to lighten the heavy load such a subject. I especially love her post of the contraption her husband made her for peeing in a cup. I think she should market it! I would buy one with as much as I have had to pee into those darned things!!!

 And last but certainly not least...all the ladies over at Design Sponge. It's simply that designer in me that can't resist the daily dose of awesome design tips. I especially love the before and afters every Thursday...it just gets my wheels spinning!


7 Things About Me Are...

1.I don't like chocolate...I know, I know...I am weird!
2. I am obsessed with gold fish crackers. Ummm...delicious.
3. A good tune is bound to put a smile on my face. Music inspires me.
4.I wish I had more time to explore the world around me with my camera.
5.I am a natural blond, but thanks to the invention of dye...I am a redhead!
6. I have lived in 5 states in the past 7 years
7. I love to cook/try unique foods...often times I don't even know what certain ingredients are and I have to aimlessly wonder the grocery store till I find what I need!
