Twice in my life, I’ve won something. The first time I won something during my
senior year of high school. I won a large color tv at the senior prom after
party. A consolation prize, I suppose,
as my boyfriend dumped me a few weeks before the dance. Oh, he was still my
date. However, he asked me to meet him
at McDonald’s (I insisted he pick me up at my house.). I paid for my own dinner and flowers. Later on, I had to call his mom to be
reimbursed & she drove to my house & paid me. She didn’t even make him
do it. At the end of the evening, I had to find a ride to the after party &
ask a friend if I could spend the night at her house. My mom had to come pick me up.
Yup, he was a real prince charming.
Two years ago I won an All About Spelling
curriculum from a contest Jolanthe hosted at her blog, HomeschoolCreations. I was so thankful to win
that curriculum! The curriculum I owned
wasn’t working, and I had already spent the budget for the school year. Perfect timing!
Well, I can add a blog award to my very short
list of things I’ve won. Nikki over at
Joy in the Journey awarded me with the Versatile Blogger Award! I admire how Nikki and her husband
intentionally disciple & mentor their three kiddos.
She’s also a rockin’ momma! Her
son recently decided to sport a Mohawk & she was happy to oblige! Thanks Nikki! It was so unexpected & made my day. J
Here are the rules:
1. Thank
the person who gave you the award & link back to them.
2. Give
this award to 15 recently discovered bloggers.
1. Contact
those bloggers & let them in on the news.
2. Tell
your readers 7things about yourself.
It was hard for me to come up with 15
names! I did, however, think of
10. Grace please?
Seven things you may or may not know about me:
· It’s
a secret desire of mine to study & become a foley artist.
· I’m
a night owl.
· Even
though I live in the South, I can’t stand sweet potatoes or grits. I literally gag when I eat sweet
potatoes. No amount of maple syrup,
marshmallows, or brown sugar will ever make me change my mind. Grits are different. I can eat them, but I never choose too.
· My
annuals that I planted in the spring are still alive. Usually they die midsummer.
· I
worked as a hairstylist for several years before transitioning to be a
sahm.
· I
love sports & my husband couldn’t care less.
I’ve recently started reading the following
blogs & I would like to share this award with them.

Yay! I'm so happy and honored you picked me and I can't wait to play along! I'm night owl, too and can't seem to change it. And I think the sweet potato thing is a dirty little secret among many southerners (including my husband.) LOL. So now do I copy the button and follow the rules you listed?
April, you're welcome! Yes, just copy the button & follow the rules. Looking forward to read your post!
