I'm on Fire!

My friend Heather has sent me a blog award! Don't you just love these things? I do. They're like a hug from the internet.


Heather recently moved her blog from Wordpress to Blogger and has seen her space grow tremendously. She's an inspirational young mother and I encourage everyone to visit her page!

The rules of the award state that the recipient must list seven things about themselves and then pass the award to 10 other deserving bloggers!

I know I've done similar posts before so I'll try to come up with a list of seven things I have yet to share here. Some will be serious...ish...and some won't be. Enjoy. :)

1. Many of you know that I am a HUGE Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan (because I'm a giant nerd at heart). What you don't know is that I sat with my kids today to watch the very first non-animated TMNT movie. About half way through the movie I realized that the film came out in 1990...21 years ago!! I was utterly shocked by the fact that I was watching a movie with my own kids that I had watched when I was only 7 years old.

2. I have good reason for not folding laundry. It's because I care so deeply for the comfort of my cat.

3. This is my 236th post and I have been blogging since November of last year.

4. I let my kids run around naked in the backyard sometimes. It's hot. Whatever.

5. I earned my M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education while my twins were 5-18 months old. It was hard, but absolutely worth it.

6. I've been considering changing the name of this blog...but that's so much work. I don't know. What do you think?

7. I'm really happy for a good friend of mine who just found out that she is expecting again! I won't say who she is because she has not yet chosen to share it with everyone at this point. And I happen to know just how crappy it feels when someone else decides to share that kind of news for you when you are not quite ready for the world to know. So, I send my congratulations to my friend and I look forward to seeing when she does choose to share online! :)

Now for 10 other bloggers that are on fire right now...

1. Life with Twins and a Drama Queen
2. Just Another Mom of Twins
3. hands on: as we grow
4. Rockin' Momma
5. Time Out for Mom
6. Teach Preschool
7. Two Moms to Be
8. Twintrospectives
9. Multiple Mayhem Mamma
10. Mama Mama Quite Contrary

Go stalk check out these ladies. You won't regret it.

  1. Haha - thanks for sending me some "stalkers" new friends:) I love the title of your blog but it all depends on what your goal for the blog is. The title should reflect the message you want to share - at least that's what folks say:) But hey - in blog world, we get to make up the rules!! Thanks for this very thoughtful award:)

  2. You are cracking me up with TMNT! My brothers were total fans, so I got a good taste of it too!

    Loving the kitty excuse!! Ha! Totally works for me! ;-)

    A lot of posts in a very short time!

    Nothing wrong with your sweet babies letting it all hang out in their own back yard! :):)

    Why are you wanting to change it?? I think it works very nicely! Can't imagine it anything else.

    Why did you have to leave us hanging?!?! :):)

    Congrats on your award!! Super cool! Very true...your blog is always fire!!

  4. After reading number 2, I am considering bringing the cats back in the house. I have some laundry I don't want to fold, and that's the cutest excuse I have seen in a long time.

  5. First, don't you just love Andrea? She is so encouraging :)

    Then, I don't think you should change your blog name.

    And third, you SERIOUSLY rock - how on earth did you manage the M.Ed while they were so little? Were you sleeping at any time? :)

  8. Congrats on the award...and many thanks for passing it on to me!! Although, I agree that you are most deserving for doing anything greater than brushing your teeth while attending young twins!
