My "I'd Like To Thank the Academy" Life...

So, first I would like to say that I am honored. My friend awarded my blog with the Smile Award, (thanks Aimee!), and now I get the wonderful opportunity to pass it on. So who to pass it onto? There are so many wonderful blogs that I follow, their writers brighten my day and bring a smile to my face. But per the rules, I am limited on the number of people to award this to. So, here it goes:

First, I would like to give an award to Wendy and Britt. Your blogs make me laugh, cry and everything in between. Britt, your artistry and love of life shines through in everything you write. Wendy your love of your family and friends and simple sincerity makes reading your blog a must. Go Grapes! :)

Next, I would like to pass this award onto Rachel. You inspire me with your style and your savviness (is that a word?) in the kitchen compels me to venture forth and try new things.

Last but definitely not least, I would like to pass this onto Jennie W. She is a supermom and super writer; funny and insightful. She also is a contributor to Segullah, which I recommend everyone check out.

Congrats!
