An Award & A Birthday

Happy Friday Loves!!

I hope your{hearts}are happy and full today.

I have a very special nomination happening on the blog today 

If any of you checked in last Friday you probably know that Dusty

over at Girls Love Fried Pickles nominated me for the Liebster Award.

 I was soooooo excited!! I felt so accomplished, even if it is a silly blog!

I put a lot of time and energy into my blog in hopes that it reflects exactly who I am

So since it means so much to me to know that at least a few others love my blog as much as I do it's only appropriate that I nominate 5 other amazingly talented ladies with super awesome up at coming blogs as well.

The RULES:

*choose up and coming blogs with less than 200 followers

 *mention them on my blog

  *let them know by sending them a message that they have been nominated

Let me just say choosing just five has been a struggle 

I love all the blogs I follow and try my best to read all of them daily, if time permits of course

DRUM ROLL PLEASE

...

Put your hands together for

Holly @ here's to the meantime

Her posts are always right on point to what I seem to be thinking for the day, but of course she puts it into words better then I can. Thank you Holly for such inspiration and truth. I love your blog

Whitney @ Writing on a Whim

Let me just tell you...This girl LOVES Disney!! She has such a sweet spirit and you can feel it when you read her blog. Her dog is beyond adorable too! I can say I know Whitney personally and although we have only hung out a few times, she is the most down to earth awesome person.

Cassie@ Live.Laugh.Love 

I have been reading her blog for a while now and she is so honest and real that I know a lot of people can relate to her. She even has a cute little shop!. Check her out

Brittany@ Aviation of Love

Being a girlfriend of a man in the AF I can relate to her as I read about the life of her and the hubby's adventures in the military. And the funny thing her hubby's name is Shane...of course I have a Shayne, but it's still cute.

Megan@ Absolute Mommy

Yep, you guessed it, she's a mommy and a real fire cracker at that!! I just love the funny things she says about her kids. She is also a women of my own heart, an awesome craft queen!!! She has some fun ideas. 

THANKS FOR BEING SO AWESOME LADIES!!!

I had fun
