I’ve had some wonderful blogging experiences lately! First of all, I was nominated for Homeschool Blog Awards in two categories! I was nominated for Best Encourager Blog and Best Homeschool Methods Blog! With all the wonderful homeschool blogs out there, I’m truly grateful and honored to be a nominee. THANKS TO MY WONDERFUL READERS! You can vote for homeschool blog awards until midnight, November 18.
Also, I was given the Me Encanta Tú Blog Award by Natasa at Leptir. Thanks SO MUCH, Natasa! I always love visiting Natasa’s blog for her wonderful ideas and printables!
I must answer some questions and forward on the award. I love the unique award and am happy to be able to pass it on to some great Montessori/homeschooling/parenting/education blogs!
Here are the questions and my answers:
1. Why did you create the blog?
I felt called to share my education and experiences in Montessori, homeschooling, and natural parenting. I love encouraging other parents and teachers!
2. What kind of blogs do you follow?
I follow all sorts of blogs, but I most commonly follow Montessori, homeschooling, and parenting blogs.
3. Do you have a favorite brand of makeup?
I love glōminerals makeup because it’s natural and healthier for the skin.
4. And a favorite clothing brand?
I think I most often buy clothes at bebe. I especially like bebe’s pant suits and jackets.
5. What makeup products are essential for you?
Mascara, powder, blush, and a neutral-colored lipstick are my makeup essentials.
6. What’s your favorite color?
I have a few favorites, but I think I wear blue (especially the lighter shades) more than any other color.
7. What’s your favorite perfume?
I don’t typically wear regular perfume. There’s an inexpensive body mist from Victoria’s Secret “Garden Secrets” collection I like to wear, though, in Vanilla Lace or Pure Seduction.
8. What’s the film you liked the most?
That’s a tough one. I love both comedies and dramas, but I especially like to laugh. My favorite movie might be L.A. Story with Steve Martin.
9. What countries would you like to go to?
I’ve been lucky to visit many countries because of my kids’ international skating competitions. I’d like to spend more time in some of the European countries. My husband and I fell in love with Italian food and architecture when we were in Turin for the 2010 World Figure Skating Championships. We’d love to visit Rome and Venice, Italy.
Now to pass on my award:
It’s always hard for me to decide which bloggers to award because there are so many blogs I love. Be sure to check out my Awards page for posts with links to wonderful bloggers I’ve awarded in the past. Here’s a mixture of blogs that I discovered recently and blogs I visit regularly. I’m passing on the Me Encanta Tú Blog Award (as alphabetized by my computer) to:
Forever, For Always, No Matter What
And always, I am SO thankful to have you as a reader. To you, I happily pass on:
Congrats! Hope you win! Your blog is VERY helpful and inspiring 🙂
