Many thanks to Marty39 at A Stroll Thru Life and Tasha at Biology Gal for giving me these awards. I never expected anyone to actually read my blog when I decided to give it a try, and am thrilled when you do and love when you leave a comment. If you have not visited these two sweet ladies blogs, I hope that you will.

























The goals of these awards are :

To be passed on to new blogs or friends that you've discovered.

1)As a dedication for those who love blogging and love to encourage friendships through blogging.
2)To seek the reasons why we all love blogging.
3)Put the award in one post as soon as you receive it.
4)Don't forget to mention the person who gives you the award.
5)Answer the awards question by writing the reason why you love blogging.
6)Tag and distribute the award to as many people as you like.
7)Don't forget to notify the award receivers and put their links in your post.

The reasons I love blogging is:

I love sharing tips on every imaginable subject; cleaning, shopping, gardening, to name a few. I love reading and trying your favorite recipes. I love that bloggers really care about our pets, our families and each other. We share our favorite books , TV shows and vacation locations.

I would like to pass these awards on to my new friends who have warmed my heart, inspire me with their talents and start my day with a smile;

Nikki @ Blah, Blah, Blah, Blog
Linda @ Lindanjake
Jill @Life at Killeny Glenn
Betsy @ My Five Men
Patty @ Old Lady Lincoln
Stevy @ The Rest is Still Unwritten

I hope you all have a good evening!
