Award :)

I want to thank Short Southern Momma for this lovely award!

I've never received it so I'm especially thankful for it!

The rules are simple:

Thank the person who gave it to you and

pass it on to 6 others explaining why you give it to them.

1. Allison at A Little Bit of Everything. Her and I have been exchanging our progress for working out. We encourage each other and it's helpful to have someone doing it with you. Plus, she's a teacher and I'm going to school to become a teacher :)

2. Liz at Musing Experiences. She has become such a good friend of mine & definitely one of the nicest people I've met. She can relate to some things I'm going through right now and has offered a lot of advice to me. Thanks so much Liz! :)

3. Kelsey Claire at Lavender, Leopard and Lace. I just love reading her blog! She always has something interesting to say and it's even better she includes pictures with the posts! Plus, her pups are pretty darn cute!

4. Jax at The Roaring Twenties (Mine that is...). I just started following her blog. She enjoys working out like I do and just seems like a totally fun girl!

5. Brittany at Unexpected Surprises. Her little boy is just the cutest thing ever! Check out her blog and the video she posted of him saying the names of the Planets. She's always posting about him and seems like such a great mom!

6. P at *Insert My Blog Name Here*. Her blog is hilarious. I don't think I've ever not laughed when reading it. She doesn't live in the states but that's ok! She's still entertaining and always has something funny to say :)

Giveaways again :)

Jessica at Classy in Philadelphia is giving away any 1 item from this website. She was chosen to review a piece of jewelry to review from the site and she chose this gorgeous ring:

The giveaway ends on 1/16/10 at midnight EST.

Liz at musing experiences is having another giveaway! This time, she's giving away a cute journal & some of her favorite pens in honor of her 100th post.

Giveaway ends on 1/15/10 at 11:59 PM.

P.S - Thanks Brittany for this award! So sweet of you :)

 

Another Award !

Risley over at Adventures of the Wilkinson's was sweet enough to tag me with this award:

The rules of this award are:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award

2. Paste the award on your blog
3. Link the person who nominated you for the award

4. Tell 7 interesting things about yourself
5. Nominate 7 bloggers or less

 

So, 7 interesting things about me are:
1. I have two freckles on the inside (palm) of my right hand. I don't think many people do.
2. I've lived in the same state and county my entire life. Boring, I know.
3. I might be the pickiest eater ever. Italian food is my all time favorite though. I don't like seafood, except for crabs (that's pushing it). I don't care for red meat. Hamburgers are ok. I'm probably missing out on a lot of yummy things.
4. I have only traveled or vacationed on the East Coast. (VA, WV, SC, NC, PA) I tend to always go the same places. Except for the summer of 2007 when I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I need to go on vacation ASAP!
5. My worst habit is biting my nails :( Oh how I wish I could stop!
6. I am in love with trashy reality tv - I know you are too ;)
7. I love animals. I always feel so bad when I can't help them. They're so cute and just touch my heart :)

Now, time to give this award to some of my new and lovely blog friends:

1. Liz at Musing Experiences

2. Lauren (my fellow marylander) at Dreams Take Flight

3. Juliana at A blonde walks into a blog

4. Meredith at (flash) pasteurized

5. Kelly at Keeping up with Kelly

Have fun ladies :)

P.S - Click on the button on the left hand side called Simply Love Swap. It will take you to that blog. It sounds so fun & it's a really cute idea. I hope you participate in it!

Happy 101!

My new friend over at ReJOYce! decided to give me my first lovely award! How sweet of her :) Do be sure to visit her blog. Here are the rules: List 10 things that make you happy! Tag some bloggers that brighten your day. And make sure to link back to the person that tagged you!




1. M. He makes me happy when he isn't being a butthead ;)

2. My little girl

3. Any beach - but could someone PLEASE take me to this beach?

4. Shopping/spending money. Now if money only grew on trees...

5. Friends and Family

6. Books & Magazines - I can just escape things when I read. I'm a cosmo subscriber ;)

7. Ice Cream :) Cold Stone Creamery has, in my opinion, the best ice cream ever.

8. Chapstick! Gosh I coud NOT live without it.

9. Gum. I probably go through a pack or two a week lol

10. My Conair Infiniti Steam hair straightener. I'd be lost without it.

 And let's be honest, more then 10 things make me happy. Christmas and summer time make me giddy like a little kid. If Christmas was in the summer, I probably wouldn't be able to contain myself. Just seeing all the Christmas decorations and listening to Christmas music is enough to turn my bad day into a fabulous day. And about summer time, there is nothing like relaxing in the warm sun with a nice cool drink. I'm a flip flop girl so when I can leave the house with flip flops and shorts, I'm happy. I hate winter because I have to wear a coat, gloves, start my car so it can be warm for when I start driving. I just don't like winter. I do apologize to the winter lovers out there and for my random paragraph about nothing.


OK, now I'd like to give this little award to some of my new blog friends . . .

1. Classy in Philadelphia

2. xoxo, brittany

3. A Little Bit of Everything

4. Pretty Face
