I've Won An Award!! Awesome!

Melissa at Saving Cents with Sense (a great blog, check her out) has honored me with this wonderful award. I do enjoy getting awards, mostly because I get to share some favorite blogs with my readers. Today I am going to focus on my Mommy Blogs listed below. They are great writers that frequently make me laugh out loud as they describe their children, days and constant amazement at life in general. One of the best things about the internet is that you can find people out there that share the same challenges as yourself and are able to laugh about them. I can't tell you how many times I have read out loud to my husband some of the hilarious things they have written. They also remind me of the beauty and joy in simple things. Check them out!

Kreativ Blogger Award!

I got an award!! It's so nice to have someone think enough of your blog for them to honor you with an award. Coco at Frugal in Paradise gave me this award! You should check her out. She has a great blog about saving money, and even better, she's lucky enough to live in Hawaii! Thanks Coco!

The rules with this award are to name 7 things you love & pass the award to 7 blogs you love.

7 Things (& people) I love:

1. My husband

2. My three awesome kids

3. My friends

4. Genealogy (for anyone, I've pretty much used up my family's)

5. Couponing

6. Blogging

7. Reading other blogs

7 Blogs I love (there are so many, I randomly picked a few! I actually wrote down eight before I made myself stop!):

1. Frugal in Franklin - she's local and has many great tips that I miss!
2. Devastate Boredom - she has some great deals and keeps me up to date on TV shows, since I usually only watch Spongebob!
3. Frugal Finds from your Frugal Friend - she was one of the first money saving blogs I came across and she is still providing great deals that I don't find anywhere else!
4. Leaving Excess - she's a working mom like me and doing a great job learning to intentionally live with less.
5. It's Hip 2 Save - she's also a mom of three who really enjoys getting a good deal.
6. I am a Money Magnet - she's really great at explaining her deals and has great photos!
7. Queen of Good Intentions - She has great recipes and I so want to stay at the same hotel she stayed in at Disney.

I won a award!!! Thanks so much to Julie over at Coupon Saving Family. She has awarded me with the Kreativ Blogger Award! I have seen this award on other pages, and I feel so honored to have another blogger think so much of my page to award it to me!

Now I have to tell you six things that I am thankful for, and then I have to award six people with this award.

I am thankful for:

1. My Family
2. My Friends (including internet)
3. Mine and my husband's employment
4. My Home
5. Mine & My Families' Health
6. The opportunities that living in the US has provided

Now for the hardest part of all, awarding it to only six! It's a hard choice because I wish I could choose a few more (actually I chose seven) but here it goes:

Deal Dad of Dadof2Boys' Deals. He is a working teacher dad of two boys and one of the few couponing men online (you go!). He has some great deals.

Carrie at Shoplifting with Permission. She is a young(ish), urban(ish), fun-loving stay-at-home mom who gets great deals.

Justine at Justine's Grocery Brags. She gets great deals, has great pictures and awesome links to printable coupons.

Melissa at I Robbed that Store Legally. She's funny, and gets awesome deals. She's also brave enough to tell you about her mistakes which we all make.

Jamie at Thrifty in Cincy. She is a mom of two, shops at the same places that I do and has some amazing deals with great pictures.

Michelle at Leaving Excess. She is a CPA turned SAHM (with four kids) turned somewhere in between. She gets great deals and has wonderful pictures.
