I’ve Been Nominated for a Versatile Blogger Award

Dear Dumplin,

Sometimes I forget that anyone actually reads my blog. I write to you, and put my thoughts out to the world, and go on about my day. I take you to school, I work, I cook, and clean. I spend time with your Dad. So when Carla over at PoppedBlackWomanBlog.com nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award, I was stunned! I like what Carla is doing on her piece of web property. “Popped” stands for positively optimistic and powerful. Every woman needs a little more of that in their lives.  I love her quirky personality and her unapologetic authenticity.

So, as recipient of this nomination, I must do a few things.

1. Thank the person that nominated you.  BUT OF COURSE!  Thank you Carla.  Thank you for reminding me that following my own bliss is worthwhile.  I enjoy writing this blog and am glad you like it too.
2. Link to Carla’s blog. —–>>>> Go check out PoppedBlackWoman.com.  It’s kind of awesome!
3. Select 15 blog/bloggers that you feel have fantabulous blogs–whether you’ve recently discovered them or you follow them regularly.
   • My Brown Baby
   • Baby Shopaholic
   • 400 Square Feet and Counting
   • Merlot and Motherhood
   • Queen of My World

   • Chaton’s World
   • 4 Hats and Frugal
   • Mama Knows It All
   • Moms N Charge
   • All The Many Layers
   • Sophistishe
4. Nominate those 15 awesome bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award
5. Lastly, tell the person who nominated you, and everyone else, 7 things about yourself.
   • I loathe watermelon.  I can’t even stand the smell of it.  My husband hates it too!
   • I love to read.  A quiet night with a good book and a cup of coffee is heavenly to me.
   • I’m introverted although not shy.  I’m an INFJ to be exact.
   • I’m an Aries.
   • I love to eat.
   • I keep a small circle of friends.  I think it’s an introvert thing.
   • My brother and I are ten years apart so my mom says it was like having 2 only children.

And thank you my Dumplin.  Thank you for putting a fire under me that had dimmed before.

Love,

Mama
