Very Inspiring Blogger Award

I am so happy! Thank you; thank you; thank you so much http://faithrises.com/ for nominating me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. How lovely to know that you find it an inspiration; makes every post more meaningful.

Your blog brings not only a smile to my face but makes me think  – and I would not classify myself as particularly religious. Really enjoy your blog.

Award Guidelines:

1)      Display the award logo on your blog.

2)      Link back to the person who nominated you.

3)      State 7 things about yourself.

4)      Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award and link to them.

5)      Notify those bloggers of the nomination and the award’s requirements.

So – 7 things about me!

1. I am a “cup half full” person – will always find the positive in every situation eventually
2. When I enjoy a good book there is almost nothing that can get me away from…escapism!
3. Running always gets me smiling – if ever I am in a bad mood I go run it off
4. I love my three children and husband more than anything in the world
5. I find cooking and baking both therapeutic and relaxing and use it as a great de-stressor tool
6. I refuse to iron…it is probably the one thing I really avoid in life! Cannot stand it and always burn myself 🙂
7. I am very clumsy – if there is something to walk into, fall over etc…that’s me….
