My Blog is Rated “E”

April 4, 2008 by Elaine

How cool is that? Reluctant Housewife was kind enough to bestow this award of excellence upon me and I am oh so appreciative. She even researched the orinignation of said award and I was very happy to see where it started myself. Double Thanks Girl!!

Of course along with receiving comes some giving so I will pass the excellence on to these ten fellow bloggers (and if you have already received this well then I guess you are doubly excellent, now aren’t you?).

4 Little Men – one word – Photography (oh and it’s fun to read about her life with 4 boys and twins on the way!)

I Should Be Folding Laundry – This blog is a consistently good read and considering she has been through something very difficult recently, I want her to know how excellent I think she is. This lady inspires me so much.

Vintage Pearl – Erin has beautiful jewelry and a beautiful family and she’s just “cool,” you know?

3 Little Monkeys Jumpin’ On the Bed – This is one of my newer Texas bloggy friends and I love reading about her family.

Boys Rule My Life – Becky keeps us up with her life with 3 little boys – and she is SO sweet!

Seeking Sanity – This woman makes me laugh – she is quite witty. And she has 3 boys too. Am I sensing a trend here?

i, wright – because I like to read what Nicki writes

Kami’s Klopchyk – Kami is like a bloggy BFF (she’s already gotten this award, but I want to give it to her too, so there!)

Borderline Bonkers – Anna is pals with Kami, need I say more? Seriously, she has a great blog – cute kids, crafts and photos!

Mommee and Her Boys – What can I say? This is probably one of the sweetest bloggers out there. She even started another Pay It Forward blog. I told you, she oozes sweetness.

And now for a little radomness (because I know that’s why this blog is SO “excellent” wink, wink). I had written on the subject of plastic bags and the possibility of them taking over the world a little while back. Today I found these online and although I already have a few from various grocery stores, I WILL be purchasing some of these. I need more and I might know a few people who need some too, so… Anyway, in the interest of saving the planet, just thought I would pass that little nugget on.

Thanks again Madame Reluctancy for the award!!

    Hey, wow! Thanks! What a great surprise this morning!!

    As for the little bit of randomness, I love my reusable bags. I didn’t get mine from that site, but a similar one. I think I have 7 bags and I LOVE THEM!!! I also bought some really light reusable produce bags, too, so I’m not using those clear plastic bags to sack my produce either. I feel so “green” when I use them! 🙂

    Have a fantastic weekend and thanks again for the compliment and award! I feel Excellent today! 🙂

    Elaine, you are the sweetest! Thanks so very much, I feel the same way about you!

    You are a most excellent blogging BFF!

    And I double love you! I am a huge reusable shopping bag girl. I get weird looks when I tell the clerk I have my own bag but I don’t care:-)
