I'm always so flattered when other bloggers give me awards. When I first started this blog in 2009 I received some blog awards and I never could figure out how to post the pictures back up here...I decided that I would try to learn this morning and VOILA!!
So THANK YOU Hilary! You can follow Hilary over at

The Rules:
Thank the person who gave you the award with a link to their blog.

Now to nominate some other bloggers.
http://leahs-new-ending.blogspot.com- I love Leah's blog. She has lost about 50 lbs, has run a 5K and is just all around inspiring
http://shrinkingaweigh.blogspot.com- Amanda just recently started her blog, so kudos to her! She's about 2 months or so into her journey and I'm glad to be following her along!
http://melissavenableweightloss.blogspot.com/- I'd be surprised if Melissa hasn't already gotten this award a billion times because she and her blog ARE adorable. Melissa is working hard to battle weight AND insulin resistance and she loves and works in theater! (See my number 2) LOVE her blog!
I really get so much inspiration and encouragement from my fellow bloggers. Thank you so much for reading me and commenting. It helps me more than you could ever know!
You beat me to the punch :) I was just about to let you know! hehe..
ReplyDeleteWhere is PA have you lived?? I like the Amish-man story too!
ReplyDeleteIn Lancaster (in the downtown area)
ReplyDeleteJodie thanks for the award..You're so sweet!! I'll try and get to it before Friday.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I lived in Lancaster for fours years as a little girl. Loved all my memories of it. :) Small world....
Love it! I have never heard of blog awards! I love the blog community/support! How fun!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit Paris! I've seen pictures of people's vacations before but I'm sure pictures don't even do it justice. Maybe someday I'll get there. I'm with you on the fruits - fresh pineapple rocks. Love your dogs name :-) This post was great - I like to 'get to know' the bloggers I follow on a more personal level so things like this always give me that little glimpse into their 'personal lives' :-)
