I Received a Blog Popz

Cat at 3 Kids N Us was so great. She gave me a Favorite Blog Popz.  I’m so excited over this!  To be on anyone’s list of favorites, I’m so excited.  Thanks Cat!  So much!!

So what is a Blog Popz?  According to Cool Baby Kid, 

A virtual version of the lollipops you gave in school to friends and admirers, each color represents a different theme. 

How do you give and get them?

Get popz from authorized candy stores, receive them from fellow bloggers, and register your pop entering to win fantastic prizes for distributing and receiving the most popz!

Isn’t this a neat thing?  So I’m off to figure out just how I can give out a couple of these nifty little treats. 

Top 50 Mom Blogs

I was right. Here it is 10:00 and I don’t even feel the slightest tired. I really don’t mind this schedule. I’ve always been a night owl, but it makes going back to work sooo hard, and with less than a week before school is back in session, I will be exhausted that first week.  Since I feel like I’m going to be up for a while, I decided that I’d peruse the MomDot list of the Top 50 Mom Blogs.  Even though I feel like I surf a good number of blogs, I was amazed at how many of the sites on this list, I have never heard of. If you like to read Mom Blogs and want to make some new friends, I highly encourage you to check out this awesome list.  I’m listing the top 50 here, but if you’d like to know more about them before clicking, head over to MomDot where Trisha wrote a great writeup describing each blog.

Sharing the Love

I’ve seen this type of thing on other blogs, but never been able to take advantage of it.  Today though I can say that I’ve won my first blogging award – The Share the Love Award!!  April at That Crazy Mom nominated me for this award that was originally created by Crystal at Memoirs of a Mommy Blog. It has been passed from one blogger to another set as we honor the blogs we love. Crystal said,

The rules of this award are: SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with all those blogs out there that you love. All the people who make you smile. All those that make you laugh. All those that make your day. All those that leave uplifting comments on your blog. **All I ask, is that you include a link to this post with the award and ask your recipient to do the same** ….I have finally created a custom blog award!! I have wanted to do this for a long time but never came up with something that “fit”. I didn’t want just anything. It had to be something that meant something to me. And what could mean more than Sharing the Love by giving you pieces of my heart?? So I created this award in Honor Of The Donor That Saved Noah’s Life. I share this award with those of you whose love and friendship have enriched my life and made my world a better place.

I hope by passing this award around the blogging world we can all help raise awareness of the need for Organ Donation.

So without any further adieu, a few of my favorite blogs:

• Penny For My Thoughts
• The Blonde Diaries
• Janet’s BookNook
• SS Mommy

Go check them out! And congratulations ladies for creating blogs that I love to browse. You are doing an amazing job on each of your blogs.
