Encourage and Inspire Award


Isn't this a nice one? Gerri, over at Peace and Love, honored me with this wonderful award. Thank you so much Gerri for sharing this beautiful award with me! It is always a pleasure to visit Gerri's blog and read her heartfelt words and enjoy her terrific family and nature photography. Gerri welcomes her readers with open arms. If you would like a smile to brighten your day, visit Peace and Love.

Honesty and creativity are the driving forces behind all the blogs that I have the pleasure to read. I truly feel privileged to be part of this blogging community. Blogging has shown me that there are so many good, kind, lovely people in this too often self-centered world. As a mom, I love to tell my children all about the kindness and positivity that I find on blogs. My 6 year old will often say, "Mommy, people are nice!" He is so right.

Everyone deserves this recognition. All of you that take the time to share your thoughts, feelings, humor and kindness are worthy of a big standing ovation! Bloggers are doing so much to "spread the love" each day. You all encourage and inspire me.

I would like to share this award with these 5 blogging buddies. I know you will enjoy your visit with these blogging "neighbors" :)
  1. Fiona, over at Bantering Blonde
  2. Pegsy, over at Sharing Life with Peggy
  3. Jill, over at Sneaky Momma
  4. Caroline, over at Whimsical Whispers

I'm hoping for warmer temperatures today. I would love to bring my kids to the pool after school. They are on half days for the rest of this week. They have been exceptionally rambunctious. Summer fever is in the air here! Maybe a nice dunk in the pool will be good for this achy Mama too! Enjoy your Wednesday!

It's really hot over here but I'm at my desk looking out. I hope your weather cooperates! I love that your six year old thinks people are so nice. It's true but often we look for the negative stuff. Have a great day Kelly!

Oh Kelly, I am so honoured that you would share this award with me! What a wonderful surprise to wake up to this morning! I have never won a bloggy award of any kind, so this is very exciting! Thank you so much! I would definitely have passed this award on to you - your blog is always very inspiring to me and your comments on my blog are so encouraging. Your son believes people are nice because you are a beautiful example to him! Since you already have the award, I'm sure I can find 5 others who deserve it just as much!

Congrats on the well deserved award! We've had cool temps here all Spring, much much rain, clouds and humidity. As I type this, a fine mist falls from the sky :(

Wishing you summer sunshine!

Congratulations on another award! You deserve it.

Oh, and you can have some (or all) of our heat, as long as you take the humidity too. It was already sticky at 7 AM this morning. I can't wait until October!

Jill @ Sneaky Momma said...

Congratulations on your award, Kelly! Thanks so much for passing it on to me. You're such a sweetheart. :)
I hope you guys get to hit the pool today! We're stuck inside doing projects around the house. It is unbelievably hot outside, so maybe that's a good thing. :)

Congratulations Septembermom and to all the winners. You are certainly deserving of the honor. I hear tomorrow is supposed to be a scorcher outside...definitely will be pool day for sure. Have fun with the kids.

Oh definitely deserved. Congrats. And ummm you can take some of our warm weather. It's not supposed to be mid-90s with 100% humidity in June in Chicago. Enjoy the half days!
