What You May Not Know…One Lovely Blog Award

I would like to thank Tonya at http://www.redheadthoughts-tonya.blogspot.com/ for giving me the One Lovely Blog Award!  I feel so very special.  And happy.  And (shhhhh…whisper it) popular.  It’s so encouraging to know that people actually look at my blog – and like it.  I’m thrilled!

The rules are as follows: You thank the person who nominated you, share eight things about yourself that others may not know, and pass the award on to another blogger whom you love.  
     
Did you know…?
1.  I could eat Mexican food for EVERY meal, EVERY day, FOREVER.  
2.  I also have red hair.  Auburn, really-with highlights to cover extremely premature gray. (OK, not THAT premature.)
3.  If you want to bribe me, I can be bought cheap with a Vanilla Dr. Pepper from Sonic (Happy Hour prices from 2pm-4pm if anyone is driving by and coming my way.  Just saying…)
4.  I’m a late bloomer.  Married at 35.  Miracle Son at 37.   Good things take time so don’t be in such a rush.  
5.  Prior to this domestic bliss, I would have been the least likely person you would think would enjoy such a life.  Homemaking was the farthermost thing on my radar.  Who knew?
6.  Except for the indulgence of eating out (where nutrition rules are flung out the window once a week), we eat no refined sugar.  NONE.  NADA.  Not even corn syrup, dextrose, or anything that can not be easily spelled or pronounced.    
7.  I’m not a materialistic person.  Really, I’m not- but I am so totally into my iPhone.  How did I live without it?  There is an app for EVERYTHING.  It has my phone, my datebook, my music, my Bible, my recipes, my photos, AND I can surf the web.  How great is that?  My husband thinks I love it as much as I love him. I don’t but almost.  OK, I do.  Not really, but sort of. 
8.  Speaking of iPhone: I am obsessed with Words With Friends.  


Now that you know ALL about me, go visit Suzie Q at http://imarriedamoronandsurvived.blogspot.com/.  I am passing this award to her.  She is AMAZING.  Her blog is sure to inform and inspire you.

Chic Click Carnival



I am so excited about participating in the Chic Click Carnival hosted by Chic Chick Media. My site is all about saving money, living simply, and enjoying the Blessings of our Lord. If you’ve read some of my first posts about saving money, you know I LOVE coupons!   Sooooooo…

Today I am featuring my favorite peep of the week: Valerie, TheCuteCouponer.  I found out about her blog over at BlogFrog.  Loving coupons, I had to go visit her site at http://www.thecutecouponer.blogspot.com. Look though her archives for some great ways to save when shopping.  While you’re browsing, check out Visit Our Peeps.  Have Fun!

Thank You

I have been exploring the Blog World and social media sites this summer.  All I can say is, “WOW!”  No, that’s not all I can say but it is a good summary.  There are all sorts of places to visit and people to meet.  For the most part, this has been SO MUCH FUN.  (I’ve seen some things I could live without… you take the good /dismiss the bad.) I had no idea what I was in for when I started blogging.  I guess I didn’t know what to expect. What would people think?  I started so sheepishly and somewhat apprehensive about connecting with virtual strangers.

Since then, I’ve joined Google Friends, Twitter, Twitter Moms, and BlogFrog.  I have met so many wonderful people.  Through the Blogs and Communities I’ve read your stories: laughed, cried, admired, and learned so much.  Some of you have even “followed” me in some way or another.  I want to thank you for putting yourselves out there. Thank you for welcoming me when I did.  I have genuinely enjoyed getting to know you.  Thank you for sharing yourselves and your stories.
