Homeschool Blog Awards

There are many wonderful blogs listed in this year’s Homeschool Blog Awards. I am honored to be in the Best Artistic Content category.

I am grateful to those who nominated me, and appreciate all my readers. You challenge me to think, compose, and endure. Knowing we are in this home school adventure together is such an encouragement. May our children grow strong in character and love for the preservation of liberty and the glory of God.

A Nice Blog Award

Mandi gave me the coveted, flowery shoe award. She thinks I’m really nice. Early in the morning my kids might not agree with her.

As a nerd teacher, I investigated the origins of this award. It turns out that anyone can create a badge. Now, why didn’t I think of that? Probably because Adobe Photoshop is still on my learn-to-use list. Once I master it, I’ll let you know what I design. Are you patient? It might take a year or two or three. Anyway, these words accompanied the first slipper:

This award will be awarded to those that are just nice people, good blog friends and those that inspire good feelings and inspiration! Those that care about others that are there to lend support or those that are just a positive influence in our blogging world!

How thoughtful and sweet! I am proud to be part of such a wonderful group.

Wearing the fancy shoe reminds me of a verse in Romans 10:15. “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things.” I am honored to bestow this award upon some bloggers with beautiful feet.

Jen, Aduladi’, Shirley, DJ, April, Lindafay, and Renae may you continue to inspire as you walk with feet shod in peace.

A Prestigious Award

The Blogger Reflection Award was given to me by the marvelous Dana of Principled Discovery at her recent blogger banquet. My acceptance speech was given just outside the ceremony in the comment box. It was preceded by the powerfully pensive Thinking Blogger Awards and followed by thunderous applause for the Rockin’ Girl Blogger Awards. So many wonderful websites were honored. Honestly I am humbled to be included.

Now I am blessed to bestow this award on a few worthy bloggers who are invited to proudly display their medallion and pass it on to other reflective writers.

• I will begin with the first blog I ever read. PrincipledMom, Anna Marie, encouraged me for two years with her gracious words before I was inspired to begin Life Nurturing Education.
• Mandi at Under His Construction has great insights. Of course, individuals from Idaho are very gifted so it is to be expected.
• Reading Honey from the Hive by Melissa always gives me something to ponder.
• It is a joy to visit Rebecca at Little-Homeschool-on-the-Prairie. She first invited me over to reminisce about the life of Rich Mullins. I was thankful for the tissues.
• Deidra has just changed the look and focus of her blog, Loving Him 4 Ever. She has my attention as she seeks wisdom for her life and lessons.

Thank you celebrating with me. I look forward to discovering many more deserving blogs as the festivities continue. Enjoy the afterglow and don’t worry about the paparazzi. They won’t even recognize you all dressed up.

Update: I hope that you can still recognize me. I decided to change my theme because I like this sidebar better plus there is a home tab so you will never get lost in my blog. Thanks for the new options, Andrea!
