Very Inspiring Blogger Award

I wanted to thank an incredible blogger – http://laurasconfessions.com/ for nominating me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. When I started blogging I had no idea how much I would learn, and the incredibly talented people/writers/photographers I would discover. It has truly changed my life. I feel very honored Laura, and…the feeling is mutual!

As a blogger, I find I’m sitting with my squinchy, binding my hair up over my head as I hover over my keyboard (that’s my friend Carla’s vision – not all of us do this but apparently I do :)) I’m guessing a lot of bloggers think about this, but it does feel fun when you write your blog. However, after you tweak, modify, view, preview and then finally hit “publish”, you think (at least I do) is anyone out there???” Mom? Dad? Carla? Here’s what I’ve actually found – there are a lot of people out there. An incredible amount of creativity, inspiration and support. So what I like about this award is that I actually have the opportunity to highlight and nominate other blogs who inspire me.

So here are two things they’d like me to do if I’m nominated. Tell you a little bit about me (as if you need to know more) and tell you about a few of the bloggers that I love, and would nominate for this award.

A little bit about me –

I believe that bacon is the 5th food group
Champagne is the 6th
“Not” jumping out of an airplane and/or hang gliding are on my bucket list
I use extra Downey in my wash so my clothes smell like it
I add too much cream in my coffee and although I’ve tried to change that I just don’t seem to have the will-power
I believe that boots can be worn year-round
I believe time is the greatest gift you can give anyone

Second, the blogs that inspire me and the ones I would nominate –
