One Lovely Blog Award: A Special Treat

It’s been a busy week, so I’m a little late getting this posted. Sorry for not being more prompt!

I logged in to check my comments/spam queue, and I found a wonderful surprise amongst all the unwanted ads: I have been given an award for School’s Out! Beth Davis (PlusSizeMommy) also writes here at Blogalogues, and she has been kind enough to give me this award to let me know that she has been enjoying what I write. For a blogger, for any kind of writer, this is one of the best rewards of writing. To know that others are reading what I share, and that they are enjoying or learning or growing as a result, this is a tremendous feeling.

You can find Beth’s post, nominating several other worthy bloggers, on her personal blog here. Also, please check out her HodgePodge blog here at Blogalogues.

Thanks so much for thinking of me, Beth! It really brightened my day.

Here are the rules of the “One Lovely Blog” award:
Accept the award
Post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link.
Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

My nominees for the “One Lovely Blog” award are a fantastic group of people who inform, entertain and sometimes even urge their readers into action. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do:

   Oh, Ruby, I’m so glad you found me, because now I’ve found you. I really appreciate the acknowledgement; I take a lot of pride in my blog, both because I want to spread awareness about kids with special needs and because, well, Max is yummy. Thanks again!
