A Child's Perspective on Heaven and Bloggy Awards

My son came running to get me last night. "Mama, come quick and bring your camera!" I turned the corner to see a lovely sunset after the rain. The sunbeams streamed down from the clouds. My son then looked at me and said "Look, Mom, this is what it looks like when souls go up to Heaven. Maybe those are all the people who died this week." Happy journey Michael, Farrah, and Billy...

In other news, my little blog has been the recipient of some awards over the past few weeks. Take a peek:

Z.Couple passed along this lovely award. She is a newlywed with a beautiful new home, some great friends, and good posts about couples. It's worth a read.



Next, my bloggy friend Lori from Waterstone Jewelry awarded me the next one. Her blog is peppered with stories of her travels, decorating ideas, and sneak peeks of her beautiful hand made jewelry.



Now, I need to pass these awards on. It's so hard to narrow down my list! I think each of these blogs is interesting and inspiring for one reason or another. They are all on my short list of blogs I check every day. I think if you begin clicking, you will understand why.

ASoftPlaceToLand
ObnoxiousSAHM
DesignSponge
JustaGirl
BloggedyBlogBlog
JohnDeereMom
OnePrettyThing
IHeartFaces
TheConstantComplainer
WhimsyGirl
ShabbyNest
ThirdEyeMuse

And my list wouldn't be complete without my "Sistas", my parters in fun and crime, my kindred spirts, my friends:

JoyBeadworks
TheTreatGirl
MarzipanMom
Girlinthesticks

Okay, that is 15. If I ever receive another award, I will introduce you to 15 more of my faves.

Here is a rule of passing on the award:
1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link. 2) Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.
