Tag: Blog Awards

I was tagged by my friend, Amelia, for a Blog Award. I'm super flattered, especially because Amelia is a great writer and really funny. Here are the details about how a Blog Award tag works...

1. Amelia's nominees get to put this cute tile on their blog. I'm going to think of it like a letterman's jacket and I can feel cool I have one.



2. I link back to Amelia and all my nominees will link back to me, so we can all share the love.

3. Nominate 5 other blogs. I blalk a lot of my favorites, so I don't think I'm ready to give up my anonymity by nominating them. I mean, don't you think Seriously So Blessed gets this all the time? That, and the train wreck blogs I like to check out. I'm going to pick ones from my friends and family circle.

4. Include a link to the blogs you Y.

5. Comment on said blogs so your favorite peeps know you nominated them.

Here are my nominees...

1. Amelia, like I said above, is a great writer and really funny. She's also completely frank -- which I love. One of the first blogs I read of hers was The Pregnancy Shot and I was instantly hooked. (And even better, my sister thought the last picture WAS actually Amelia).

2. Speaking of my sister, Jennie has a great blog. And no offense to Jennie Penny and Christmas Steve (they're exciting and all) but it's all because of the Mitch Man. As most of you know, my nephew Mitchell has Downs Syndrome. Everything about him is a delight. He's got such a unique spirit that his happiness is contagious. Jennie's blog totally captures that.

3. I suffer from mentionitis about my friend Matt. Matt and I met in Korea back in 2007 while I was teaching English. He's one of my favorite people. He's got a million friends, but the best part about Matt is that even though he's extremely busy and popular, he still makes time and effort for EVERY one of his pals. After all these years, we still stay in touch. Matt's blog is great because he's an actor in Washington DC, has a sassy sense of humor and always has adventures I covet.

4. My cousin Amy is a blogging pro. She's the one that got me started. She includes original things about her 4 kids, not just the run of the mill stuff. But my favorite thing is Amy is totally honest about her embarrasing stories like when the store clerk thought she was a senior citizen or when she ripped on a driver in front of her kids only to find out it was their sister-in-law's sister and the kids ended up telling her what she said.

5. Okay, it's a shameless plug but I really do love our Young Women blog. I just think it's a great tool for the girls and it's been a lot of fun for us as a presidency to contribute to it. So, Camille since it's your brainchild, I'm tagging you (with your blog being an honorable mention).
