I was thrilled to see that Debra, over at Writing With Debra had awarded me this award. I had to head right on over and leave her a comment thanking her.  Just wanted to say another big thank you here.
Thanks Debra!

A Bloggy Award

I love being able to blog about what we do with our schooling, to share ideas with bloggy moms out there, and to find new ideas.  I was so pleased to see I had been given this award: The Versatile Bloggers Award.  When I received this today I remembered I also received the same award a week or so ago.  I appreciate being given this award by both ladies, Elle Belle's Bows and The Work Plan.  I just didn't have time to post about it when I got it previously.  I don't want people to think I am ungrateful, so I decided I would post this before heading off to bed.  Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for thinking of me ladies.  Here are the rules for accepting this award:
Rule number 1:
              Thank the person who gave you the award.

Again, thank you Elle Belle's Bows and thank you The Work Plan.  I have been a follower of Elle Belle's Bows for a little while now, I would recommend you check out her blog, especially if you have little girls and love to do their hair, her bows are adorable.  I only now have found The Work Plan blog and I am very thankful that she thought of me.  I love finding new blogs that follow the Montessori Method, even though we haven't been very diligent in our Montessori lately.  Hoping to rectify that now that the baby is giving me some time to work with the children.  Oh, blessed naps!  Anyhow, thank you ladies.  I hope others will find your blogs as cool as I do.


Rule number 2:
              Share seven things about yourself.

To tell you the truth, this is one of the reasons I was procrastinating on accepting this award.  I just didn't have the time to sit down and come up with 7 things I felt I should share.  Let's see what I can come up with:
1) My least favorite chore is folding the laundry, I feel as long as the clothes are clean, if I can't get to folding  them every one will survive.  I am trying to fold laundry more faithfully though.
2) I didn't learn how to drive until I was 21 years old.  I grew up in NYC so I didn't need to drive, we had public transportation.  So when my now ex moved us out to the country I was soooo dependent on him until I decided to go back to school and needed to have  license to get there.
3) I have a really hard time communicating with people because I can never find the right thing to say, words are always on the tip of my tongue, or fingers as the case may be, but always seem so far out of reach.
4)I have really tiny toes. There, now the world knows so I don't have to hide them anymore.
5)I love reading so much that putting down a book was traumatic (okay that was a little exaggeration) And I used to be able to read while walking to school (and this was while living in the city).
6) I am deathly afraid of heights and more specifically stairs, as I fell down the steps to the concrete basement floor when I was quite young.
7) My favorite thing to do with the children is crafts, but I prefer things that help them develop their creativity.  I never liked those craft kits where things need to be just so.  Though I do believe there is a place for follow the direction activities. When kids come home from daycare/preschool with those kinds of crafts you know who did most of the work.


Rule number 3:
                   Pass the award onto 15 bloggers whom you have just recently discovered and who you think are fantastic!

1)  Cathy at The Attached Mama
2) Terra at Monkey See, Monkey Do
3) Forgiven Gentile
4) Rebecca at Growing Up Our Style
5) Courtney at Women Living Well
6) The Adventures of Bear
7) Living With Fairies
8) Jessica at Our Family For His Glory
9) Almost Unschoolers
10) Fiona at Deep blue Sapphire
11) Charlene at Adventures-In-Mommy-Land
12)Joyful Learner
13) Katrina at Callapidder Days
14) Audrey at The Daily Wyatt
15) Julie at Just Playin' Around


Rule number 4:
             Contact the bloggers you picked and let them know about the award.



I follow so many blogs and adore visiting all of you ladies.  But the rules stated I needed to pick recently discovered blogs.  I hope all my other bloggy friends will take the time to check out the blogs I have picked and find something new, don't forget to comment and follow, I know I love reading comments.

An Easter Basket To Share

easterbasket

For each one that is completed and linked up to their site Hershey’s is giving $10 to the Children’s Miracle Network, but it has to be done by tomorrow.


So, here’s the rules:
This basket didn't cost a thing but it's worth 10.00 to the Children's Miracle Network! Here's how it works:
Hershey's is partnering with bloggers to donate $5,000 to the Children's Miracle Network! They are hosting a blog hop and for each blog entry, Hershey's will donate $10 to the Children's Miracle Network.
Hershey’s Better Basket Blog Hop Rules
1. Copy and paste these rules to your blog post.
2. Create a blog post giving a virtual Easter Basket to another blogger — you can give as many Virtual Baskets as you want!
3. Link back to the person who gave you an Easter Basket.
4. Let each person you are giving a Virtual Basket know you have given them a Basket.
5. Leave your link at Better Basket info in the comment section. You can also find the official rules of this betterbasket blog hop and more information about Better Basket with Hershey’s there.
6. Hershey’s is donating $10 per blog participating in the Better Basket Blog Hop to Children’s Miracle Network (up to a total of $5000 by blog posts written by April 4, 2010).
7. Please note that only one blog post per blog url will count towards the donation.

I received this basket from Ticia over at Adventures in Mommydom. I am not sure who has received this, though I will be giving it to a few people I can think of. However, if you read my blog and have not received this basket from any other blogger, go ahead and help yourself to the basket, making sure to follow the above rules. I hope you agree with me that this is a great cause.

That is everyone I have time to give this to for now. I enjoy each one of your blogs. Not that if I didn't send you this I don't enjoy your blog! But the girls really want to go on our walk and I can't list everyone's blog I read. So please don't forget, if your blog isn't there you can still link up and help support this great cause.

Wow, A Blog Award!

I am truly honored to have been nominated to receive a blog award. I love being able to blog about what my girls and I do. And I am so glad that people can find my ideas useful. This was why I wanted to blog in the first place. God has given me a gift for teaching my children, for being able to come up with projects to do. I feel I should be sharing these talents. And this award just means that others are seeing these ideas and finding them of use. So I just wanted to thank Counting Coconuts for thinking of me.

And now I see it is my turn to pass the love along.
