The Versatile Blogger Award

I have been given the Versatile Blogger Award from Lisa at Criss-Cross Applesauce. Basically, it is kind of like a blog chain letter, but it is nice to know that others are enjoying reading my blog. Thanks Lisa! 

I just started following Criss-Cross Applesauce. Lisa is a teacher who is currently using her expertise as a say-at-home mom to a 4-year-old and 18-month-old. She has a lot of great tot-friendly activities. Check her out. 

Now on to the blog award rules... 

1. Thank the person that nominated you with a link back to them. (see above)

2. Tell 7 things about yourself. (see below)

3. Pass this award on to 15 newly discovered blogs and let them know that they’ve received an award! 

Seven Things About Myself

• I have lived in Michigan for almost 31-years (my whole life).
• I love to go for bike rides, but haven't actually ridden a bike in 2 years. Kind of pathetic.   
• I hate doing laundry.
• I worked at The Detroit News till I took a voluntary lay-off January 2010. 
• I am a 4-year breast cancer survivor. (Diagnosed at 26-years-old)
• I have a black thumb, but hope every year that some how my garden will just grow without my help.
• Always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. None of my friends are surprised that I love being home and taking care of my babies. Love it!

15 blogs I have found recently that I think ROCK (in no particular order)

• Irish Twins Momma's Babybook - Another mom chronicling her adventures raising 2 girls less than a year apart. 
• Meet the Dubiens - One crafty mother who has great tot-friendly activities and makes amazing food art on Friday. 
• And I thought I loved you then ... - This is actually my crafty cousin who totally spoils her beautiful 1-year-old with all of her crafts and thrifty buys. 
• The Meanst Mom - Fun mom who takes everyday life and makes it pretty comical and hilarious. 
• I heart crafty things - Fun tot crafts. (Noticing a theme about the blogs I follow.) 
• Happily Domestic - A crafty mom of 4 with one on the way. 
• What? Only 12 months apart? - Need I explain? Another mom figuring out Irish twins and expecting her third!
• Sea Cow Circus - A woman I met years ago at a work convention that somehow we have become virtual friends. She is a working mom balancing life with her adorable 1-year-old girl. 

Here are a few I just started following that you might enjoy too!
