I am a Versatile Blogger

I seemed to have received a very prestigious award from Jennifer of What's Mine is Yours. It is the Versatile Blogger Award. Unfortunately, there are strings attached if I accept this award... which I will happily abide by.

Here are said strings:

-Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post.
-Share 7 things about yourself.
-Pass this award along to 15 recently discovered blogs.

So, first: Thank you, Jennifer! Love the new hair cut and you are totally young enough to pull off the nose piercing. I did not get mine the last time until my late twenties.

And now, 7 things about myself...

1. My top 3 played songs in my iTunes are all by Ray Lamontagne. I heart him.

2. The person who stood up with me at my wedding was my best friend... and it was a BOY... (GASP!) I heart him too.

3. My toenails are painted 100% of the time, my fingernails... never...ever.

4. I have 2 blue dots on my wrist where I started to give myself a tattoo... and then quickly decided it was a horrible idea. Thank God. (I was 14... give me a break, ok?)

5. I have never been a cigarette smoker (try growing up in a small trailer where everyone smoked INSIDE... in like, 700 square feet... freaking turned me off from smoking real quick.) But, I did love to sneak a taste of a clove cigarette... before I became the responsible Momma of 3.

6. I have worked for Staples for 13 years of my life. I mean, if you call 10 hours a week working at this point. But I love them for letting me step down and work 6-8am so that I can be home with my children the rest of the day. Because, really, who could afford daycare for 3 kids even if I wanted to work full time.

7. When Colby finishes college, I want to go to school to be a masseuse. I LOVE getting massages and think there are some definite healing qualities there... and I would love to be able to bring these qualities to other people.

And, finally, my 15 recently discovered blogs that I love:

Elle's New England Kitchen (Yum!)

FYeahTattoos (Great inspiration if your gonna get one.)

Soule Mama (She's from Maine and is crafty, what's not to love?)

Creative Bubbles (She also has 3 little girls, so she holds a special place in my blog-heart.)

Frugal Family Fun Blog (Great, great ideas to amuse my kids.)

Honey Scrap (Inspires me with her crafts.)

Oh Dear Drea (is supercute, super sweet and is navigating life as a single mom.)

A Beautiful Mess (let's just say she is a very pretty blog.)

Ok, I am done. Is that 15 blogs? No? Well, I guess I have only discovered 8 recently... so that's what ya get.
