Life is Grand AWARD!!

Thank you to Dexter's Super Savvy Mommy for sending me this award. I have to admit this was pretty good timing. You know those weeks where you feel your about to scream your head off? Well I have been having one of those, and one thing I have learned to help me through these weeks is by looking at everything I am grateful for. This helps me balance things out in life and helps me to realize that there are always more important things out their then the little tiffs that come up. So I am excited to except this reward and share with you "Why Life is Grand".

Here are my Top 5 Reasons:

1. Life is Grand because I have a husband whom I can trust to always be supportive of me and our children. He is Perfect for me.
2. Life is Grand because I have two children who constantly remind me they are my top priority ;) They have also helped me grow so much as an individual and a person.
3. Life is Grand because I have this fun blog that I totally enjoy doing and has led me to meet so many wonderful bloggers and companies. Love it, Love it!
4. Life is Grand because I am learning how to conquer my fears and it makes me feel like I can conquer the world. Ok... Maybe I don't feel like I can conquer the world but it does make me feel great!
5. Life is Grand because I have so many good and supportive people around me. This includes my family and friends. I love them all.

Here are the 5 bloggers that I am passing this on to (in no particular order)
1. Sandy from "TALES FROM A SHOP*A*HOLIC MOMMY"
2. The MUd Bug
3. Yaya from Yaya Stuff
4. Ann from Ann Again and Again
5. Heather form Bebe and Alice

I got my first award.... A Scrap Award.

Thrift and Chic Mom has generously bestowed up me the Honest Scrap Award

What is an Honest Scrap Award? In the words of Vivian Zabel at Brain Cells and Bubble Wrap:

"Scrap means left overs, fragments, discarded material. Many times truth and honesty is discarded material, considered fragments and left over. So, we need to tell it like it is, and let the scraps fall where they will."
Honorees are to first list 10 honest things about ourselves - and make it interesting, even if we have to dig deep! Second, we are to pass the award on to 7 bloggers we feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

So here we go 10 honest things about me:

1. Don't get me laughing too hard, I tend to leak....
2. I use to think it was so cool I could jump off the ground while lying on my back. (Hard to explain over typing)
3. When I was young, VERY young (like Jr. High), I loved to make jewelry out of safty pins and light bulbs. I have moved up a few levels with my jewelry now!
4. Also when I was young and in Jr. high, again, my mom use to pay me to NOT wear my homemade jewelry and my combat boots. The offer always went up when I attempted to wear these things to church.
5. I hate ferrets. One attacked me and my friend back in HS.
6. I gained even more weight after I had my first baby. Very scary. I am now 20 lbs less than my heaviest stage in life, but I got a little ways to go!
7. I am a little obsessed with make-up. (OK A LOT!)
8. I tend to get moody on vacations. Don't ask why, I realize it's a vacation.
9. After seeing Coyote Ugly several times me and my friends would go to this club and dance on the bar table. (we thought we were so cool!) I am sure we looked ridiculous and were probably showing off. What we did as kids right?
10. I honestly think I got extremely lucky to marry the man I did. I am a much harder person to live with then he. And you should have seen the other guys I dated before him, minus a few normals.

Well now you know 10 random things about me and I am happy to bestow this award on the following fabulous bloggers:

Kristin at An Ordinary Life!
Sweet Life in the Valley!
Brandi at All About Us
Sandier Pastiers
Ann at Ann Again and Again
