You Make My Day!

My Mom honored me with this award :) My Mom is the greatest mom ever! I don't get to see her as often as I'd like. We are both so busy, but I love her more than anything and am so thankful for her!

The rules say to bestow this on 10 more bloggers. Let me see if I can think of 10!

1. De'Etta ~ Her blog always makes me smile. I love her outlook on life, her pictures and her big family!

2. Cynthia ~ She always has such fun pictures! I'm not sure if she likes links shared, so Cynthia, I didn't post it.

3. Food For Thought ~ I'm not sure if Sarah would like her link shared, either. Sarah encourages me in to eat more raw. Sarah is a 100% low fat, high fruit vegan. I have learned so much fromher!

4. Merry from SL ~ She makes me smile. She has such a sweet heart!

5. Making Home ~ Jess usually gives me something to think about. I love her heart for women and marriag!

6. Leisl ~ She makes me laugh!

7. Angi (JaJireh from SL) ~ She cracks me up, makes me think and takes the most adorable pictures!

8. Kris (mommytobees from SL) ~ I love to gaze at her pictures. She is quite talented!
