A 'BELOVED' Blog Award!!!

WHAT?! Who got another what?! Wait. STOP. You? I? We? OMG!

Islanders, YES, you are reading correctly. Jenny, from The NY Melrose Family, thought enough about the island to give us another awesome award. I tell ya, Christmas cookies and birthday presents need to be shipped all the way to NY to show my gratitude. Isn't it amazing the people and opportunities God puts in your life when you do what you love?

I do not blog because I have to. I blog because I want to...

THANK YOU, my sweet islanders for your frequent visits, unwavering support and the NERVE to make this boring mama feel special... I recognize that you don't visit because you HAVE to...

This island motivates me to do and, more importantly, to DOCUMENT what I do. These past few weeks, I've been blogging more often and NOT because I've changed my routine but because I've decided to jot down our family's little projects. Jenny's decision to pass along an AWARD is an added REWARD and I am grateful for every.single.one.

Have you checked out Jenny's blog? You should.

'Nuff said.

Now what is the Liebster Blog Award? Liebster is German and means 'dearest' or 'beloved', but it can also mean 'favorite'. The idea behind the Liebster Award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers. If you are selected, you need to:

Choose FIVE up and coming blogs to award the Liebster to (they must have less than 200 followers)

Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
Post the award on your blog.
List the bloggers you are giving this award to with links to their sites.
Best of all, have fun and share the love!

So, first, if you find yourself visiting the island often, have you considered becoming a follower?

I hope you decide to become an OFFICIAL islander BUT, if not,
