How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I had a list. . .

in Uncategorized on 08/18/09

I am a great list maker. Lists keep me sane.
Got a deadline coming up? Make a list.
Feeling overwhelmed? Make a list.
Have a big decision to make? Make a list.
Been given a bunch of wonderful blog awards all at one? Make a list.

Trouble is I lost that last one. eek.

I am so sorry! I am a bad bloggy friend.

In no particular order and with huge hugs I would like to gratefully acknowledge:

Heather over at Theta Mom for awarding me the Inspirational Blog Award. She is so so sweet and I truly enjoy reading her blog. If you have not read Heather yet you need to jump on over there and tell her I said Hi!

Courtney over at The Kirkland Family for generously passing along the Honest Scrap award. Courtney is as Honest as they come and I adore reading about her day to day giggles and organizational challenges:)

The Mamas, Amy and Lady Di, over there at Daily Doses of Mama Drama for once again crowning me the Queen of Awesome. A true compliment coming from these two wise and witty women. Must read these two every day!

…and last but not least

From I hate Michigan!(Love that)atIf I Could Only Find the Words
Has awarded me the Superior Scribbler Award

Here are the rules: (and the one I will pay forward today b/c it’s the only one I did not lose the list for…um did I mention I’m having some blonde moments lately)

1. Each Superior Scribbler (SS) must pass the award on to 5 most-deserving bloggy buds.
2. Each SS must link to the author and name of blog from whom he/she has received the award
3. Each SS must display the award on his/her blog and link to this post which fully explains the award.4. Each blogger who wind must visit this post and add their name to the Mr. Linky list at the Scholastic-Scribe’s blog so we can keep track of all who wins this prestigious award!
5. Each SS must post these rules on their blog.

My 5 choices for this little baby will be:

Frugal Mom Knows Best
Green-Eyed Momster
Secret Mom Thoughts
Shabby Chics
Stacie’s Madness

If I missed passing along an award I’m truly sorry!
Mwah!

      Congratulations even though you got this award a while ago but I will say you do make great lists.

      I’m a major list maker as well. My lists and my calendar are my “bible”. I’d be lost without them.

      Congrats on all the awards as well.

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
