Our silly old lives recieves the Stylish Blogger Award

I was surprised and very flattered to see that Granny Miller from homesteadgardenandpantry.com nominated Silly old me for the STYLISH BLOGGER AWARD.


Thank you Granny. I'm shocked and so flattered.

The STYLISH BLOGGER AWARD is a fun way to spread link juice across the web and it’s an opportunity for Bloggers to share a few things about themselves that their readers might otherwise never be aware of.
In order for me to accept the award there are two “rules”:

1.) I must divulge seven things about myself
and
2.) I need to pay the Stylish Blogger Award forward to fifteen other blogs.

Some things about me:

1. I don't like animals much. Yes we have many and no I don't want to cuddle them all. I like to cuddle my kids, especially in bed in the morning when they keep me warm.

2. I never wanted to homeschool. It was a condition of going further with my husband in our then courting relationship. He was raised with it and I agreed that it did sound better for the kids. I have not regretted the decision, though it's been very hard sometimes.

3. I don't really like cooking. The hardest part is thinking of what to make, after that it's not so bad.

4. I'm usually late. I wake up late, I get places late and I go to bed VERY late. Maybe when I grow up some day that will change.

5. I think of brilliant ideas while I'm pregnant. Sometimes I can't sleep because I keep getting so many ideas for different things. I started my now business while pregnant with number 4. I like being pregnant too. I actually loose weight and have tons of energy. I call it my diet. I think it's from naturally eating right and eating the things my body needs/craves.
6. Currently my kids are yelling at each other about who should get ice cream first and for whom, etc.

7. My desk is really cluttered.
