Now.  Having never received any type of blogging award, I had to check it out and see what the heck this is.  Never mind that someone not only commented on my blog (LOVE comments!), but liked it enough to give me a shout out; I was blown away.

In a nutshell…. it’s a nice way to recognize some of your favorite bloggers and to let them know in a VERY public manner that they ROCK!  Wow.  Thank you, Off Duty Mom!  I enjoy your blog and look forward to your boy’s clothing store opening to broaden the fashion horizons of little dudes everywhere!!

There are some rules and such that go along with this award and I will just cut and paste from Off Duty Mom:

“if you find yourself nominated, you’ve been awarded The Versatile Blogger award.  And then, you need to pay it forward” by

• Thanking the person who gave you this recognition
•  Including a link to their blog
•  Selecting 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly
•  Nominating those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you might include a link to this site.
•  Telling  seven things about yourself

Here are my top 15 blogs that I consider versatile in one manner or another:

1. Charlotte was both
2. Tamára out Loud
3. Katrina Anne Willis
4. Faith Checks
5. Blog it All
6. McKMama
7. Redefining Normal
8. A Rosey Outlook on Life
9. Bad Catholic
10. PhotoBotos
11. Among Women
12. In the Heart of my Home
13. Conversion Diary
14. Driven!  For His Glory.
15. Socially Fit

And now for the 7 things about myself that I probably haven’t already blogged about…hmmmm:

1. I could eat cake and coffee for breakfast everyday.  Apparently so could my grandmother.  But I don’t.  It’s usually oatmeal, a smoothie or eggs.  Cake is more fun.
2. I love Downton Abbey.  It’s our Friday night date on the couch. Only 2 episodes left until Season 2 is over.  I’ll be in mourning.  Boo hoo.
3. I am a morning person.  But I like to be up at night when everyone is in bed.  Peace.  Quiet.  AHhhhhhh.
4. I taught aerobics for several years (stopping with baby #4….ran out of time!)  Loved it.  Paid to work out.  Those were the days.
5. I am easily overstimulated.  And God blessed us with 4 children.  He has a sense of humor, doesn’t He?
6. I procrastinate.  Too much. I’m passing it onto my children.  Thank you, Jesus for a Type-A Hubby to save them from this nasty habit!
7. I am able to help other people figure out a life plan and yet…..those glasses are fuzzy when it comes to my own life.  WHAT?!?!?
8. I love to snuggle with my Hubby in the morning, unfortunately it’s always right when the alarm goes off and it’s time to get up.  <sigh>
9. I ran a marathon. Once.   5 hours 40 minutes.  No land speed records, but talk about your endurance.  YOU try running that long.  OK.  I walked a little bit.  Still…..
10. I am running late for work!  Always!  I’m always trying to do that one.  more.  thing.

Have a great day!!
