Smile…

You bloggers are a fascinating lot, you know that? Especially the peeps blogging about life, loves, pursuits and insights. Sometimes I’m still thinking of someone or their story (or children’s story) days after they’ve posted. All in all, I am so very grateful to YOU –the bloggers who are willing to open up their lives and share their wisdom. You make me smile…. (And Rebekah, you made me smile too! THANKS.)

And thanks especially to these chicks:

Mamalogues– Dana is sassy and makes the best faces when she’s telling a story. And now she’s got her very own Saturday tv gig on a local station. Can’t wait to watch. 

Slackermommy– Kristie’s just as funny in person as she is in her blog. She’s just as sweet and compassionate too! And trust me, she has some serious aerobicizing skillz!

WhyMommy — is an inspiring woman. Even in just one post, you can sense her kindness, gentleness and strength. Methinks that’s exactly why she’s got so many people cheering her on.

A bun’s life- This lady new to the blogosphere. And the fact that she lives within minutes of Slackermommy and myself? Makes me smile. Hope to meet her soon!

Eva Las Vegas-  Kristin has recently changed her blog’s name to “Its all fun and games…” So glad she’s back from her annual summer vacay ’cause she wasn’t blogging and I was going through withdrawals!

Life’s Little Adventures - Alissa has an amazing eye. She’s a wonderful photographer. Take one look at her blog. Especially when she’s got photos of her boys posted… You can’t help but smile.

Mama Loves– This woman was a blast to hang out with at BlogHer. She’s fun. She’s sassy. And she has three boys. So she’s got some really funny stories.

Oh the Joys– Met Jess at BlogHer. And LOVE the fact that for her 40th birthday? Her hubby indulged her in one of her fantasies. You’ll have to visit her to see. But it involves a park ranger hat and uniform.

Scribbit– I stopped by Michelle’s blog awhile back because in her avatar photo, she looks exactly like one of my dearest friends. But I keep coming back because she’s got great stories and yummy recipes. Good food makes everyone smile, yes?

Crazy Bloggin’ Canuck Met Amber at BlogHer and have been coveting her gorgeous hair ever since. She has this amazing energy and infectious enthusiasm. If I could talk to Amber anytime I felt tired, I’d never need coffee.

 To these ten ladies — go forth and spread the smiles…

    I’m not sure which is more exciting, this sweet award from you or being included with so many blogs that I really love–all but two I recognize and LOVE. Now I’m off to see those other two, if they’re as great as Amber, Jess, Kristin, Kristie, etc. then I’m in for a good time :)

    Oh, and LOVE the new look if I hadn’t told you already.

    Before we met the picture with the bunny ears always made me smile. Now that we’ve broken late night diner food together, the image of that beautiful, kind face makes me smile.

    Thanks my friend. The feeling is completely mutual.

    You are so sweet. Just don’t pause my faces on Tivo otherwise it looks like I’m mid-stroke.

    Love the new look. Fall rules.

    Thank you so much! I love being included with such a wonderful bunch of bloggers! I’m out of town with no internet access for the entire weekend, so I’ll be sure to spread the love when I return!
