Blog of the Year 2012 Award-Fourth Star

A couple of weeks ago, Kelly Ann (aka NYMUSE88) of What’s Your Story? nominated me for the Blog of the Year Award 2012. I was too sick to accept it immediately, but I am still extremely grateful for the nod! It was my fourth star, which is exactly four more than I expected to receive. Since it is nearly February 2013, I’ve decided to abstain from nominating any more blogs for the award. I’ll settle for yelling my thanks and appreciation across the gaping chasm known as the Internet. I love all of the blogs I follow, comment on, and like. You all deserve hearty congratulations for being so awesome. Happy 2013!

One More Star to Cap the Year

Nicole of NMNPHX has nominated us for the Blog of the Year 2012 Award. It is our third star, which is three more than we anticipated receiving. What a wonderful way to end the year. Thank you, thank you! Pssst. You should really pay her blog a visit. It’s okay if you want to go now; I’ll wait. It was worth it, wasn’t it?

I am getting these nominations in just under the wire. It’s already Hogmanay and the clock is ticking away, so I am limiting myself to just two blogs. I recently started reading both of them, and couldn’t be happier that I discovered them. They are:

Vyvacious, serving up hilarity and food, with a tasty, tasty side of Batman.

Romancing the Bee, which makes urban beekeeping compelling. Bonus: lots of honey-licious recipes.

Enjoy!

Jennifer at Quirk’n It has nominated us for the Blog of the Year Award. It is our second star, which feels like an embarrassment of riches showering down upon our heads. Her photography blog is Amazing-with-a-capital-A, which is why it is one of my favourites. She is also the only other blogger I have ever met in real life, and she is as great in person as she comes across on the computer screen. Continue reading
