I’ve recently received the ‘Stylish Blogger Award’ from some great gals…so I finally decided to quit being a stick-in-the-mud and participate! Thank you Courtney, from A Thoughtful Place, Michaela, from Michaela Noelle, Allison from Live Love Small, Kendra from House of Ficek, and Rachie at A Chi Chis Affair, for thinking of me…and thinking I’m stylish!
(For a ‘Style’ award, I think the button could use a little style itself. Just sayin.’ Am I going to get my award revoked for being critical?!?)
So here’s the deal….I’m to follow these little rules:
-
Link back to the people who awarded you.
-
Share 7 things about yourself.
-
Award 15 great bloggers, and notify them.
All fairly painless, except for the sharing part! Ugh, but here goes:
-
I was raised as an only child (explains a lot, right?!), but I actually have 2 half-sisters and a half-brother, 2 step-brothers and a step-sister. Sounds very ‘Deliverance’.
-
Despite appearances, I do need some help in the blond department now that I’m ‘maturing.’ And Mr. Sugarplum actually does my color! Yep, every 6-8 weeks he whips my roots back into shape for me.
-
Speaking of Mr. Sugarplum, he used to be a professional musician (hence why we lived in Nashville). But this list is about me, so….he proposed to me on-stage during their concert…in Niagara Falls, Canada…on New Year’s Eve…in front of 50,000 people! It was the first time in my life I was speechless. (I eventually squeaked out a ‘yes.’)
-
I find it impossible to not spin and twirl anytime I’m in socks on a tile floor. And sometimes a little running split-leap if there’s enough room.
-
I’m told I do a pretty mean ‘Robot’ on the dance floor. You can challenge me at da’ club if you want.
-
I cry every Fourth of July when they play the stupid Lee Greenwood song, ‘Proud to be an American.’ Also at any commercials that show families reuniting.
-
I am beyond blessed to have the best (not to mention funny!) family and friends. They bring endless joy to my life and I feel grateful every day for them.
Now for the 15 Bloggers to whom I pass the Award…this part was really hard as I love a lot of blogs! But since you know I’m smitten with all the blogs featured in my Best of the Best Series, I thought I’d show you some additional ones I adore just as much:
And if you’re not sick of me yet…head over to my lover Megan’s blog, Honey We’re Home. She’s running a very motivating and inspirational series about Home Organization. She must have run out of friends, because she asked me to participate…and today I’m sharing my method for controlling Toy Madness!
Ah thanks so much for thinking of me and I agree, you are very stylish my dear! xo
Cassie you are so sweet! I am still in shock. Thank you for thinking of me. Thank you, thank you! I hope you have a great day!

Heck yes, you are stylish! Thank you so much for sharing the love, I am flattered!
I love the 7 things about you. It's really sad we're all so far away. I mean, you'd be the life of any party/get-together we had swirling in your socks and all! (:
You're the best. Happy Wednesday, friend!
