I got nominated for the One Lovely Blog award and although it has taken me far longer than it should’ve, I’m finally getting around to following the rules. (But it’s a No Strings Attached Award, so they aren’t really rules.)
The “rules” of this award are:
- Thank the person who nominated you.
- Share 7 things about yourself.
- Nominate 15 bloggers. (If someone does not accept awards, it still stands, even if you cannot fulfill the requirements because this is a no strings attached nomination; only fulfill the award if you have time and are inspired.)
- Notify the nominees.
- Put the logo of the award on your blog.
First, I would like to thank the Academy inevertoldher for nominating me. Over at thegirlz you will find some heart-wrenching and heart-warming pieces, all told in a very unique format. Check them out.
Seven things about me:
- I have a terrible memory. If I don’t write it down, it’s like it never happened.
- I absolutely love to color.
- I write something every day but only post about once a week. Most of what I write is nonsense, but I guess you probably already knew that.
- If I had bunches of money to spend on myself I would buy books, plants, and markers. Lots of them.
- Being a mom is the hardest and best thing I’ve ever done.
- I am married to a musician who is also an artist, has a job, is hilarious, and has a rocking beard. Crazy, right?
- I make lists all the time, but I’m running out of ideas for this one.
Nominations: *This was really hard. I tried to pick blogs with not too many followers. Of course, I love ALL the blogs I follow, but that’s way too many.

Thanks so much! I think it’s time I do a post since I’ve never done one yet I accept the awards. 🙂 and I agree about being a mom. I tell people all the time it’s the hardest and best thing you’ll ever do.

Hey, the memory one is not fair. You used that one on my blog to enter the Doodle Contest!
At least I think you did…My memory isn’t all that good either.

Ha! I forgot. Here’s another one for you then: I hate numbers, math, and any type of accounting, but I am too anal to let anyone else handle it. I do the bookkeeping for myself (self-employed), and my husband’s t-shirt business, and do taxes for my extended family.
