Awards, Awards, Oh My!

I have been sooo bad! I haven't taken the time to acknowledge that I have been blessed with TWO different awards by TWO wonderful bloggy friends over the course of the last couple of months! Thank you to the ladies who gave me these awards!

The first award is the Kreativ Blog Award given to me by Momtofivekids over at My Life and Homeschooling! There are instructions with this award that I am to list 7 things that I am thankful for and then list 7 blogs that I love.

The 7 things I am thankful for:

1. God
2. My Hubby
3. My 5 children
4. My parents
5. My church
6. Godly friends
7. my hubby's job---this is something definitely to be thankful for with living in MI.

The second award I received is the Lovely Blog Award from Ashley over at Get Groceries Free. There are instructions with this award too! I am to pass it on to 15 blogs that I have newly discovered and have been reading who I feel deserve the award.

Now the hard part...listing blogs!! I am going to combine the lists for the two awards so the blogs I list can choose to accept both awards! Several of the blogs I have just found over the last few months while the others are blogs that I read on a weekly(sometimes daily) basis!

And the blog awards go to:

1. Sara at Learning The Frugal Life and One Mom, Five Boys!
2. Quinn at Inside the White Picket Fence!
3. Tammy at Encouragement for the Day!
4. Kate at A Simple Walk and Cooking During Stolen Moments!
5. Kimberly at Raising Olives!
6. Amy at The Finer Things in Life!
7. Sherry at Lamp Unto My Feet!

I want to take the time to publicly thank these seven ladies for their blogs! I love reading their blogs and reading their posts that they write from the heart! They are an inspiration to me!
