You can imagine my surprise! How great is this? Recognition from peers is a beautiful thing that inspires, encourages, and affirms we are heading in the right direction! Now it’s my turn to shine a light on others. Please take time to explore the blogs below; if you do, I guarantee you’ll walk away knowing a little bit more about the world, others and yourself.
Rules to this award are:
1. Thank the Super Sweet Blogger who nominated you
Mind On the Loose is an amazing woman who inspires us with stories reflecting the history and traditions of her family, her hopes and passions, and a litany of on-going and revolving projects. Her curiosity about the ever-changing science of electronics is quite impressive to a technologically-challenged admirer such as myself. Mind On the Loose provides a welcoming community setting for anyone looking for a place to share. I hope you visit her soon.
This is the first time I have been nominated for a blogging award, and it’s name fits so well, not because I’m sweet, but because Sweet is my maiden name! So, many,many thanks to Sabrina, whose mind is on the loose, for including me in this award. I’m so happy we’re friends, but we most likely would never have even met if it were not for WordPress!
2. Answer five super sweet questions: The 5 sweet Questions are:
- Cookies or Cake? Cookies! (mostly)
- Chocolate or Vanilla? Chocolate!
- Favorite Sweet Treat? Italian Cream Cake! (Neither chocolate nor cookie, whoops!)
- When do you crave Sweet Things the most? 3:00 (PM and AM!)
- Sweet Nick Name? ittyMac, a combo of maternal and paternal grannie’s nick names: IttyBitty and MissMac.
3. Include the Super Sweet Blogging award image in your blog post (See above)
4. Nominate a baker’s dozen (12) other bloggers
Here, we go! I’m following Sabrina’s example of giving you an idea of what sort of content you’ll find in the blogs I’ve nominated to share this amazing sweet prize!
The Empathy Queen – is a sincere, sometimes heart wretching journey through life and all that means. Pure, straight up honesty and amazing candor expressed humorously, punctuated, when least expected, by a precise and smooth sense of irony.
Humoring the Goddess – Back from a blogging hiatus, this funny, relevant blogger takes a swing at aging in a fast forward world continually changing. This blog is a wild, fun ride you won’t regret taking!
Meganhasocd, The War in my Brain – A tug-a-war some days, a sail boat ride across a placid lake on others, The War in my Brain delivers a hard message softly, and with humor that always leaves me thinking; which, I believe, is exactly Megan’s intention.
Foreignly – Enlivening Dreams – is written by a student sharing his “ideas about various subjects ranging from humanities to science, but mainly on personal development…” I think this is a very interesting blog, and being able to communicate with a young person on the other side of the planet is just too cool.
South of Where – is a blog I have only recently explored. I found it while reading a response comment on an unrelated blog. It was stumbling into treasure, for me. At first, I thought I could see my own life in her words, but later I realized it is the author’s perspective that makes hers special to me.
Kmosullivan – is an advocate for women and setting socio-economic, cultural and community bars higher. I’m drawn to the author’s use of humor and current events, and always enjoy the personal stories Kelly shares.
Writings of a Mrs – is the journey we follow as a woman works through the process of achieving her dream to make writing a profession. Family photographs, poetry and personal musings bring us along for the ride!
Forgiving Dreams – thoughts on life and living the dream – covers a myriad of subject matter ranging from current events to spiritual musings. This blog is where living a Sustainable Green Lifestyle intersects, nicely, I might add, with the fast paced challenges and changes of Corporate World.
World’s Worst Moms – Well, if the blog name was actually intended to represent the truth, I’d have to be the first one to say, “I want one of those!” Humorous, serious, relevant.
Cranky Caregiver – Grandma says – cracks me up! If I could take life on like Grandma does, I’d have a lot more pep in my step! Funny, fun and accurate.
–Jenny Kissed Me – JeGlatter This blog takes me into the space in my head that poets share with both the splendor and the abysses that are part of celebrating and surviving a deeply introspective life. Her words are so fluid, it feels like I’m swimming. She is great, not good.
Second Half Woman – follows the journey of a single woman exploring the second half of her life and sharing with gorgeous photography, poetry and personal musings along the way.
5. Notify your nominees on their blog
There; all done! Thanks again, Mind on the Loose!
ittymac 
good luck
It’s flattering to be recognized by peers.
Thank you sweet pea!
Continued success.
Jennifer
You are welcome.
I am so flattered by the heartfelt comments. Ittymac your review is so engaging, I want to read it too! A lovely review and most meaningful during this time. My mother wrote articles and documented family journeys and generations. She gave us the gift of words and an appreciation of the written form. If I have created something enjoyable and helpful, in any way, then I am so blessed to have inherited her ability to bring the written form to life. It was a very sweet thing to do and your nomination and support is greatly appreciated.
Yay!!!
Thank you for your kind words of description. I’ll have to try that Italian dessert. I’ll be sure to check out these other blogs as well….the Internet has so many that you almost need to have some recommended by bloggers you already like to give you a clue on where to go. I enjoy your blog and look forward to reading more from ya 🙂
Thank you so much. This is my first award, and the recognition from peers is priceless.
Thanks girlfriend! I’m not exactly how far I fall into the “sweet” category but I did make cupcakes for school last week, and they left me with 10 pounds of sugar, so I might be able to come up with something…
xo
That qualifies!
Thank you my friend. You are most awesome.
Takes one awesome chick to recognize another!
You certainly deserve the award. You have always been so supportive of my blog and I must apologize for not being as gracious a guest and leaving more comments here. I vow to do better. Thank you for the honor–you’ve put me in with great company. I will do my best to live up to your words…and I’ll do my best to be sarcastic and funny. At the very least I’ll point and mock those who need it most. 😉 Thanks again.
You’re a friend. And a damned impressive writer.
Wow. My first award. It feels…good! Make that great! Thanks Ittymac! (I’d better go write an acceptence speech for any future such happenings) 😉
Good idea! I may follow suit!
Hey, thank you, I love that title! 🙂 You have been a great help in this journey and I hope we can continue this friendship! 🙂
Me too. I believe in your work.
