Our once decorated and sweet looking Christmas tree is officially bare of all candy canes (we have a tradition of hanging candy canes on our Christmas tree). The presents are now long gone and in the hands of their (hopefully) happy owners. The many bags of wasted wrapping paper sit dormantly, waiting to be be shredded and made useful again as alternative packaging peanuts. Meanwhile, my floors are littered with a million pieces of tiny new lego pieces and my kids busily make noises with all their new-found Christmas toys while I cover my ears and check incessantly for lost legos in my poor, over-used vacuum cleaner. These are the signs that Christmas has been a joy for everyone! Since it’s all over, I can sigh a breath of relief and officially come back to pounding away at my computer and reading the millions of wonderful blogs out there. As I finally dusted my keyboard and logged into my blog this evening, I was pleasantly surprised to see a blog award from Ruby at Growing Up Blackxican (a really wonderful blog by the way). I admit that I am truly honored *blushing* to have received this award and am grateful to Ruby for thinking of me.
After receiving the award, I must continue the rules of the award which are:
- Put the Lemonade logo on your blog or within your post.
- Nominate at least 10 blogs with great attitude or gratitude.
- Link to the nominees within your post.
- Let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
- Share the love and link to the person from whom you received this award.
This was really hard as there are so many great blogs out there, but I’d like to share my award with (in no particular order):









yay for awards!!! ur very welcome keep blogging i’ll keep reading and commenting
