Your Pre-Emmy Awards Show – Right Here!

by

How is it that I continue to find new blogs/bloggers I like all the time? I mean I think I have got my favorites narrowed down and then out of “nowhere” (via comments or twitter or something else!) I find more I like. Then I have to go read them and well people, I love it, but it’s getting harder to keep up, I have to say.

All this to say that one of the newer blogs I have found is Three Boys 1 Mommy and she is hilarious. She does these Photo-shopped bloggy “comics” and so not only is she a mommy of 3 boys but she is wicked talented too (and I mean that in a GOOD way!)

Anywho, she thought of me when passing on the “Oops Award” and here are the “rules.”

The Oops Award was created and is to be given to bloggers who inspire others with their humor and their talents, also for contributing to the blogging world in whatever medium. When you receive this award it is considered a “special honor”. Once you have received this award, you are to pass it on to others.”
The rules for passing this honor on:
1) Pick 5 blogs that you would like to award this honor to.

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 “Oops” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.

So… I am cheating a little and only picking three “Oopsies.” I am giving it to these ladies because they all make me laugh every time I go to their blogs and lately, that’s worth A LOT!

I also have another award to be thankful for and it is from Kimberly over at The Gav Menagerie. She literally passed the love on to me. Thank you Kimberly – I am honored! I actually found her blog because her posts come up under my BlogHer ad and I am so glad I did because I like her writing a lot.

This award comes with instructions:

You can put the award picture on your blog.

Link to the person who awarded you.

Nominate at least seven other blogs that you love.

Put up links to those blogs.

Leave messages with the blogs you nominated.

So here are my nominees. I ‘love’ a lot of blogs but I am trying to spread the love out a little and give this one to blogs I haven’t awarded before (or in a while!)

Classy Chaos – She’s funny, she’s heartwarming, she’s nostalgic, she’s real.

lifelong playdate – such a sweet blog dedicated to her darling daughter and being a mommy. (notice – no caps amanda!)

These Small Wonders – Jaimee is a talented photographer & she also has 2 boys! (plus we plan to meet soon since we live in the same area!)

Kami’s Khlopchyk – Kami is truly a friend, even though we’ve yet to met IRL (I am confident it will happen some day). And I most certainly love her blog! : )

7 Clown Circus – I JUST found this blog but I already love it! It may have been love at first “sight” actually because Angie’s blog is SO cute! Plus she hosts Wordful Wednesday which is SO much more up my alley! : )

What Works For Us – Cool photos & quick wit – it TOTALLY works!

Blairs Boys – Hannah has 2 boys also (no, not a prerequisite) and just has a great attitude about life. She also scrapbooks and I can go there for some ideas and inspiration!

Lastly, I also received this award from Tina at Golden Goodness but because I have gotten it before I am just going to mention how sweet Tina is to bestow this on me. Thanks Tina, you are such a sweet bloggy friend!

Phew! That’s all for today folks.

But please come back tomorrow – I have a giveaway you don’t want to miss!

  1. Yeah! Thanks so much. I really, really appreciate it. Cool award…anything with an oops in it fits in nicely around here.

    It sounds like I may need to get to know this 3 boys 1 mom woman…I like the way she organizes a family…

    Thanks again!

  4. Wow. Congratulations, and thank you, thank you. I’m so glad we found each other. I have a feeling we are going to be very happy together. j/k.
