My 1st Blogger Award — Just Call Me Mrs. Versatile!

versatile-blogger-award

 

Rebekah of Surviving Toddlerhood nominated me for The Versatile Blogger award. Thanks, Rebekah! I feel super honored!

At first glance, Rebekah and I are so very different. She’s a SAHM who baby wears and cloth diapers and homeschools. I’m a stroller-pushing, Pampers & Huggies using, “Have a great day at school, Honey!”, working momma in the throes of launching my dream career. But, as I browse her blog, I realize under the surface, we are two women who love God, our husbands, and our children. Oh, and don’t forget blogging! Some of my favorite articles from her are:

Can you tell I’m hoping to VBAC? Yep. That’s the hope.

I’ve never been to Michigan, but I hope to cross paths with Rebekah one day! She seems like one cool and devoted mother & wife! I’d be interested to know what she likes to do for herself/by herself (or with her girlfriends!). Do tell, Rebekah!

So, these blog awards have rules (or so I’ve been told). Each one has similar rules, but they are all a little different. Here are the rules for this award:

  1. Thank the blogger that nominated you and link back to their site.
  2. Tell seven random facts about yourself.
  3. Pay it forward to thirteen versatile bloggers. (Whoa! This is a lot.)

Random Facts: 

  1. I am (still) Michael Jackson’s #1 fan. (Don’t try to challenge this. Just let me have the title.)
  2. I love trying new things.
  3. I’m really competitive while playing Taboo.
  4. I love to sing.
  5. I loath shallow relationships.
  6. I’d be a better wife and mother if I had a king-size bed, steaming hot shower, and more storage space.
  7. Iced cold sweet tea in a mason jar makes my soul happy.

To be honest, I don’t get to read other’s blogs very often because I’m so busy maintaining and growing my own! And, I didn’t want to nominate someone who gets 500,000 views per day! I wanted to put on a blogger that may not be well known, but most definitely should be. With the exception of my #1 nominee, just finding my nominees took me about 3 days. THREE DAYS!!! But, I was so excited about this award and following the rules that I searched until I had a list of blogs that I could get lost in. When you look up and realize, “Oh man! I need to start dinner!” that’s a dog-gone good blog!

I’m confident that you will love these blogs just as much as I do! And, without further ado, here are my nominees!

Nominees (in no particular order): 

  1. Think & Grow Chick
  2. The Alisha Nicole
  3. My Everyday Power
  4. Brooklyn Active Mama
  5. Toned and Fit
  6. Be Free Project
  7. Into Mind
  8. Daree’s Insights
  9. I Quit My Job And Moved To Guam
  10. Creativity Arise
  11. Not Your Dirty Underwear
  12. Fit With Fallon
  13. Today I Will Be Fit

 

Let me know which blogs you’ll be adding to your feed! I know there are more than a couple on here that you’re sure to love!

Rebekah, I can’t thank you enough for my first blogger award! Eeeeeeek!!!

 

God bless, everyone!

  1. I would love to meet you someday in person!! 🙂
    When my girlfriends and I go out we like to talk the night away. We usually go to dinner, walk around a mall and then go get coffee and talk until midnight. On the in betweens of those nights out we have coffee playdates every once in a while. 🙂
    A VBAC is totally possible for you Brandi!! I would love to talk to you more about a VBAC and your options. 🙂
    I will get through these blogs as fast as I can. I can’t wait to meet all of these bloggers!

    • I’d love to “talk the night away”. Reminds me of my college years.

      I know the c-section cut will determine my chances of delivering vaginally and I don’t remember what the doctor said, so…we’ll see.

      I’m interested to know which blog(ger) you’re going to really love (if any)!

      Talk soon!
