Passing out Awards and Big Ol' Thanks!!
Did you know I belong to a lot of anonymous clubs?
Like the Addicted to Jeans Anonymous club.
Or the I don’t answer my cell phone 98% of the time anonymous club.
Hell I created the I don’t have time to bathe my children everyday anonymous club.
There are a ton of these clubs I belong too because being anonymous has its advantages. But I have been a shitty bloggy friend and that is not a club I want to belong too.
The shitty blogging anonymous club recruiter has been following me around for weeks now though. They make me not read blogs or comment daily like I used to be able too. They even have held me hostage when I try to comment back on posts made on my old blog. I was/am a fan of responding to everyone that has visited me by sending them a personal email back. But truth be told, 24 hours in a day has been feeling a little cramped lately. I promise I am reading and I am thankful for everyone that leaves comments on my blog!! Thank you.. thank you. Thank you!!
Okay, so what is my point? Well I have received some AWESOME bloggy awards that I have not acknowledge (because I suck at time management) and want to take some time out today to thank those that thought of my little blog. And then of course pass some bloggy love out. Because who can't use a little Tuesday afternoon smile?
My first HUGE overdue THANK YOU is to Pink Lemonade of Life. She awarded me the very cool Pink Lemonade Perfection Award. How awesome is that? Thank you !!! Make sure you stop by and say hello!
Second, we all know Ashley at Boss Sanders right? Ashley is simply Super Mom. She makes clothes, she plants a huge garden while being attacked by spiders, and she offers the best homemade remedies. Well she passed out the You Make My Day bling. THANKS ASHLEY!! The rules with this award are to pass it along to ten other blogs that make your day. That was super easy; here are ten blogs that make my day, everyday:
Mimzie’s Musings
OhMommy
IfMomSaysOk
The Brat Pack
The Bun is Out of The Oven
From the Land of Monkey’s and Princesses
A Whole Lot Of Nothing
Maria Finds
Secrets of a Black Heart
Nissa Niceties
Then I received an award from Kristen over at Loving Our Simple Life. First I have to give a shout out to OhMommy for introducing me to Kristen. While reading an OhMommy post she asked her readers to stop by Kristen’s blog. Since then I have been hooked. I found a virtual BFF in Kristen. If she lived closer I would be at her house all the time. AND her kids and my kids are around the same age. BONUS. But it is more than that, she is a woman of courage, and strength and love and I was honored that she gave me the Bloggy Best Friend award. Thank you so much Kristen!!
In keeping the BFF theme, I want to pass this award along to Angie over at Keep Believing. Words really cannot describe how much I adore this blog and Angie. Angie is funny, witty, and has a heart larger than the state of Texas. Her strength and devotion to her family is truly beautiful. Recently Angie found out that her husband of 11 years was diagnosed with brain cancer, for a second time. If you get a chance, please stop by and say hello, maybe send some hugs.
And before I go, I wanted to say that I am thankful for every single one of my readers. I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to see what is going on in my part of the blogosphere. I truly appreciate each and everyone of you that leave comments.. and even those who just lurk!! (Cherie, I know your out there!! ) Big Hugs to you all!!
Kim

What a great blog list. Some I know, some I have yet to explore -- so thanks for the new ideas. And don't stress about emailing everyone back for every comment. That is a lovely gesture, but not necessary. Just do what you can, y'know? Otherwise, it's not a fun community, just another chore. And who needs another chore?
love you and yr blog gal!!!
You SOOOOOOOOOOOOO deserve those awards because you are awesome and what a wonderful welcome back to the world of internet! I love coming back from being 'banned' by TWC's stupidity and having an award from my darling Kimmylynn! You make my day, my week, my month! Thank you punkin!!!
Oh my... I'm all verklempt over here. Thank you so much, you just made my day.
Really, a personal e-mail is wonderful, but not necessary for me either. Just stop by and say 'hi' when you get the chance. ;)
Oh, so YOU were that other mom in the "Don't Have Time to Bathe Children Everyday" Club??? Ha! So am I! Congrats, cool blogs deserve cool awards. Hope all of you are feeling better too.
Ahh, you deserve it, babe!
Wow, that was one hell of an intro (although I believe I am undeserving...) , but thank YOU!!! So so much!!
MWAH!
You so deserve all of the awards!
And if we lived closer, I would have to come to your house to learn how you did your crafty Easter treats! And, chit chat about how we are surviving the two kids, photography, etc, etc.
Have an awesome day!
I belong to all of those clubs, too, Kim! You're so brave for owning up to them! But you are definitely not a shitty bloggy friend. You are amazing- work full time, make time for your boys, blog and all the other things you do. I heart you, Supermommy!
Thanks for the award, too! xoxo
Aw, you're too sweet. Thank you!!
I noticed that you weren't around as much lately. I just figured you were trying to slowly phase me out. But like any good stalker, that's not possible. I'm outside your house in your bushes right now! Do you see? I'm waving!
You are like the sweeeetest ever! Thank you! Thank You! i will cherish this award =) Teehee

I'm ever EVER so grateful for these beautiful wods from you. I am so appreciative for your friendship. I mean that.
I am starting my own anonymous club - it's-too-damn-beautiful-outside-and-i'm-not-enough-of-a-person-to-comment-on-every-blog-everyday club. I'm not. I have taken 3 days off reading - two of which were over the weekend when many do not blog anyway - my reader is up to 168. I have a few I don't even subscribe to that I still check. I am reading, too. Maybe not EVERYDAY, but almost and I am only gonnna comment on about 10-15 a day, I think. I just can't get the time management and blogging figured out.
KEEP BELIEVING
Aww, thanks girl! You make my day too!
You know I love you and your blog! I am glad to hear it was the chili and not the eggplant LOL!!!!!
I am your silent stalker!!!
I will visit and send hugs to Angie. I'm throwing in a few prayers for good measure too.
congratulations on all the awards!!
hope all is well!!
xoxo
Awwww..... this is the BEST part of blogging. THE community!
I puffy heart you!
Congrats on your new blog bling! Well deserved!
That is a lot of bloggy love. And I read most of them and share your appreciation!
"Or the I don’t answer my cell phone 98% of the time anonymous club." yeah, me too. I have no idea why I even have one. UGH!
Oh, and I'm so all about Angie's "it's-too-damn-beautiful-outside-and-i'm-not-enough-of-a-person-to-comment-on-every-blog-everyday club." sign me up!!!
That's what I get for being a bad bloggy friend - I didn't even show up to the awards ceremony.
:*(
Thanks for letting me know I'm awesome, even though I already knew that.
And you're awesomer.
I've been in that shitty blogger club for awhile...but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things!
Hey sweets, sorry I have not been by in ages!! Congrats on the awards, very much deserved and congrats to the recipients...you all rock the party that rocks the party :)
I'm in quite a few blogger anonymous groups myself. sweet post.
Awww, thanks! :)
