It’s no secret that us bloggers love comments. I mean c’mon, it’s kinda like chocolate without the calories (ok, maybe not, but you get me – there’s an addiction issue there…) And! When there’s an added bonus to the comment like “Hey, I’ve got a little something for you over at my blog,” it’s like someone put some cream on top of the chocolate (do I NEED a twelve-step program? no way, I’m no quitter!)
Anywho, I was given a little extra love such as this in a couple of my comments lately and thus received two awards from some wonderfully kind fellow bloggin’ ladies. Who knew that a little jpeg with some sweet words could SO make your day? I love it!
First up, I was nominated by Lisa at verybusymomwith4 for the Arte Y Pico award. And let me just say her blog title is so true and she’s a wonderful Mom and you can totally tell that from her blog, oh and from meeting her in person! 
And here are my nominees:
Kristin at Loving Our Simple Life. Kristen has SO much love for her family and I am elated that I found her blog. I am so proud to call her my bloggy friend. She even posted a recipe that became our dinner last night and was oh so yummy!
Brittany at 4 Little Men & Twins. I love all the different stuff on Brittany’s blog. Beautiful photography, things about her 4 boys (will there be six?), tips for more healthy living. It’s a plethora of great things!
Christina at Momology. The photographs this woman takes are phenomenal. I should know, she took some of my family recently and she dropped our prints off today. I love them! Not to mention her blog is going to be such a wonderful legacy for her daughter someday and is to her readers now.
Kellan at On the Upside. I just love her stories and always have to go check out her blog to get my daily dose. And of course, there is ALWAYS an upside!
Nicki at I, Wright. This gal has some sass and I love that about her. I am always amused at her posts, whether she’s trippin’ around Disney by herself or making a beautiful cake for a baby shower, I love it all.
And now, here are the rules for those that were nominated:
1. Pick five (5) blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language.
2. Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
4. Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award (http://arteypico.blogspot.com/)
And, speaking of comments, (I know, that was at the beginning of the post, please keep up! HA!) Christel of Simply Us bestowed upon me the Sharing The Love award for commenting on her blog.
And so, I must pass this along to some of the people who comment on my blog the mostest. And those would include:
I just think it’s so nice that we have these sweet bloggy awards to pass on to each other. It really can make a girl’s day. : ) Thanks ladies and I hope I can make some of your days too!
Congrats to all of your winners!
Girl, you said it all! I LOVE comments…it’s just knowing that someone else out there is sitting on your sofa listening to you talk and really listening. God bless bloggers!!
