Wonderful Mom Award!

I have met so many lovely bloggy friends here... and I treasure them all. I consider them my "neighbors" because I share my life with them, just as I would my own physical neighbors. So, when I get an award from one of them, it's just like getting a big hug. Today, I got an award from my neighbor, Freeul. Thank you, my friend. I'm honored and appreciate it so much. I'm sending you a huge hug.

This award originally was started by "Wibeche" from Norway.

"This is an award for being a wonderful Mom. You do fantastic work. Be proud of your accomplishments."

I in turn, would like to pass this lovely award on to some of my favorite neighbors. Since I can't pass it back to you Freeul, I'll get you on the next one!

Here we go.....

To my bloggy Moms/Friends/Neighbors:

Diane @ Dianes Addled Ramblings

Doot @ A Nut in a Nutshell

Sandra @ An Italian Mama Gone Crazy

Jennifer @ Rundpinne

Diane @ Good Mourning, Glory!

Deb @ Dirty Socks and Pizza

Melanie @ The Smith Family

And please know, this award is for every one of you beautiful and caring Mom's out there in my bloggy neighborhood. This list could go on and on..... so if you're here, and you're a Mom? This award is also for you (even if you're not specifically listed) because.... YOU are a wonderful MOM!

Premios Dardo!

One of my absolutely very FAVORITE people, Diane at Diane's addled ramblings gave me a wonderful award. This award "acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his or her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values every day". Isn't that just a wonderful thing to say? Those "things" are what I strive for everyday, and to be recognized for them is so touching. So, thank you... It means a lot. She also said "Denise has an open mind and an open heart... she's someone you just know you'd love to live next door to"! Oh boy, now that's a big one. Think about your neighbors? Sometimes you just get great ones, and then... there are the "others". The ones you check out your window for, before making a break for your mailbox, or car so they can't catch you. I sure don't ever want to be "that" neighbor! So here I ask for some help from my "actual" neighbor.... Melanie? What do you think....? What is it we always say; neighbors by fate, sisters by choice? That pretty much sums it up. We have great neighbors and a great neighborhood (but we do have the 1 neighbor you have to hide from). I talk to a lot of friends who don't have any relationship with their neighbors, so I'm thrilled to be able to consider a neighbor a great friend. We have a blast!

So, move on in Diane; we'll make room! You'd make a wonderful neighbor and we'd love to have you! ; )

This award has made my day. I've got a great big bloggy smile on my face and it CANNOT be removed!

I won an award? Really? Me?

Queenie Jeannie just gave me the coolest award; and "I big red puffy heart your blog award"! I can't believe it; I'm SOOO excited! This is my first award and from such a great person!!! WHOA!
I just love her blog. I just adore her! She is the best! I'm not even kissing up because she already gave me the award....so there! Anyway, to my friend.... Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I'll cherish it always!
