Bloggy Fodder

First off... HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all. I know it's early. But chances are, I won't be on here tomorrow, because I'll be too busy stuffing my face and anticipating the steals I will get on Black Friday. So now I've covered my bases.

Secondly, I have a few new blog awards!! Yay me :)

The first is from Elizabeth at Three Channels:

The qualifications to receive the award are:
A. Display a cheerful attitude.
B. Love one another.
C. Make mistakes.
D. Learn from others.
E. Be a positive contributor to the blog world.
F. Love life.
G. Love kids.

The Rules:

1. Must link it back to the creator.
2. Post the rules.
3. Choose 5 people to give it to.
4. Recipients must fill the characteristics above.
5. Create a post to share this.
6. You must thank the winner.

THANK YOU ELIZABETH!!

Then I got this one, which I have seen all over the bloggy world and been pining for someone to give to ME... And Noah's Mommy from Project Mommyhood has bestowed it upon me at long last!! Thank you, thank you! :)

So what I'm gonna do is combine these awards and give them to five blogs that I think fit both! It's hard for me to pick, but here goes with some of my faves:

Mama Dawg at Two Dogs Running

Kyla at The Journey

Caleb at The Daily Focal Point

Devin at Chasing Moments Photography

Stephanie at A Year Of Crockpotting

Finally, Hip Mama's Place is having an awesome Christmas Giveaway. So you should go and check it out. You won't be sorry, trust me!

Tail End of Bloggy Giveaway Week!!

Sooo, I just found out it's bloggy giveaway week! I'm so excited to be entering a few of these... I would have done a giveaway myself had I know about it sooner! I guess next quarter I'll just have to pay more attention :P Since I didn't catch this early enough to host a giveaway, I'm trying not to be selfish and enter too many, but it's hard not to be greedy with so many GREAT offers!

Anyway, here are some of my favorite giveaways so far- mind you, I'll be editing this as I go because there are TONS of giveaways this time (I mean, like over 900 so far) so I'm still working my way down the list as much as I can before the giveaways end!
