thanks Judy!!

Thanks to my blogging friend, Judy, at benmakesten for sending me this great blogging award! Judy's blog has been an encouragement to me. She's shared a lot of GREAT homeschooling advice! She's an incredible mom who not only has a young one at home but she is also a grandmother... amazing!!

Now, as a recipient of the Beautiful Blogger award I must do 3 things.

1) Add a link and a note of thanks to the person giving me the award.

2) Pass the award on to 15 bloggers whose blogs I have recently discovered that I love

3) Share 7 things about myself

First of all, here are seven things about me, in no particular order...

1) I can not not read! I read all of the time. It's the source of great jokes by my dearly beloved.

2) I am blessed to be married to my absolute BEST FRIEND!

3) I have BA degree that I have never used.

4) I have lived in the same house for more than 15 years.

5) I would LOVE to have chickens and farm fresh eggs some day.

6) I would love to live in the UP of Michigan.

7) I am not old enough to be turning 41 soon...

I don't think I have visited 15 blogs lately. So, I'm posting the links to my favorite blogs and bestowing this award on the bloggers.
