Something Interesting?

Twelve year-old Sydney, from this blog, has graciously given me this award. She says that I must tell you seven things about myself in order to accept the award. Since I can't think of seven interesting things above and beyond all the stuff I always journal about on this blog, I thought I'd ask my family if they could think of anything. Here's what they said:

1 .Meghan said, "You always kiss in front of us." (well, you know what that inspired me to do... :)

2. Terry said, "You like your feet uncovered when you wake up in the morning." (yep, and you do it for me, Babe)

3. Molly said, "You stand like a flamingo when you're baking and in conversations with Monique (neighbour)." (all my life, I'm afraid!)

4. Emily said, "You're pretty." (that's my 5 year-old, bless her)

5. Oliver said, "You be nice to me." (I'm glad you think so after the discipline tonight :)

6. Meghan said more, "You read stories, take pictures and sing in a different way." (Hmmm... what exactly does that mean?)

7. Molly said more, "You make us guess where we're going in the van." (Guess where we're going tomorrow? It's my little secret.)

So there you are :) Thanks for staying tuned.

Recognizing Inspiring Sisters in Christ

In the past few weeks I have received two blog awards from my new sisters in Christ. The world of blogging has inspired me tremendously and I praise God for the relationships that have begun through this method of writing by women. We have encouraged each other to grow deeper in our walk with Jesus, persevere in our homeschooling, become better photographers, mothers and wives and just plain laugh ourselves silly. The few minutes I take in the morning or evening to peruse a few sites is worth the time. God definitely speaks through the words and lives of His daughters.

I'd like to thank Pure Perseverance for this award. The honesty with which she shares her story is courageous and real. She inspires me incredibly. I'd like to return the award to her as well as, pass it along to a few of my favourite blog sites, which you will love!

A Holy Experience -Ann Voskamp's words will intrigue you and draw you to God

The Well-Rounded Mama -She'll make you laugh and her photography is great

Ordinary Inspirations - Traci is very involved with her readers and is so talented

Life With My 3 Boybarians - You'll love her humour and her photos

Hear I Am -Annie's words will make you love your family even more

Running The Race -Anna will show you how to relate all of life back to the Creator

Back To The Good -Holly (my sister!) muses about life with twins with humour and wit

SGM -My friend Sandee writes so beautifully but her blog is open by invitation only-I still wanted to honour her!

Dancing Princess -This award is for the most creative daughter in the world! I love you! Her blog is also by invitation only

Thanks, Sisters in Christ, for all you share!
