I’m a Rockin Girl Blogger.

No I’m not conceited. I received this award from blog designer extraordinare Heather Bixler. She also nominated one of my favorites Little Cooks in the Kitchen, who nominated a couple of my other favorites, Mom Loves Being at Home, and The Three Olivos.
I read more blogs than I would like to admit. The number grows weekly. In fact, I have been busy enjoying the weekend and am already behind 100+ posts. This means I will be doing a whole lot of speed reading and very little commenting. I have much I already want to post on and will try to write those today and tomorrow to post throughout the week (I will be on vacation!).
Okay, back to awarding girl bloggers. With the vast amount of excellent blogs I read I have to choose 5 women. I’m trying to remember who all I have already tipped hats to in effort to not repeat myself, I’m disqualifying ones that have already received this award, and I won’t pick blogs I love that don’t post enough (even if I love you, sorry guys)…
5 Rockin Girl Bloggers:
1. Heidi Jo What Do You Know? Apparently, a lot. She posts daily and never fails to make me laugh. She has 4 beautiful children and a great perspective on life. She doesn’t take her self too seriously and you can read it in all her writing. She inspires me to be more light-hearted than I am.
2. Mama Blogga-- She not only provides fun group projects and great writing, but she also is incredibly helpful in the blog world! She has loads of advise on everything from search engine optimizations (SEO) to plugins and code. I appreciate her greatly!
3. Centering the Clay- New to my blog radar Monica Tutak has great perspective. I have enjoyed reading her musings on Life and culture. I know she is yet another one of those people I would love to grab some coffee with if we weren’t 3000 miles apart!
4. Journal of a Nomad- The author of this blog has far from a boring life! And she photo journals it along the way so I get to enjoy it too! Her pictures are wonderful and she always has a thought-provoking quote to go with them. Her life is an incredible adventure.
5. Home Hope & Future- This friend of mine is blogging on her process of adoption of a child from Liberia. She also has great things to say about the Christian Walk along the way. I know from experience that she practices what she preaches. Her heart is pure and sweet and she is the kind of person you feel welcomed by the moment you meet her.
OH YEAH I forgot to mention that if you won you are *supposed* to in turn award 5 other girl bloggers. However I realize your format may not allowed (eg. Journal of a Nomad).

WOW! I can’t believe I’m an “Official Rocking Girl Blogger”?!! My first blogging award!! I’m so honored
I would like to thank… Ok, I’ll spare you all the thanks. Now I’ve got to think of my favs. Thanks MZ! Means a lot coming from you. And yes, we’ll have to sit down for coffee one of these days. I would really like that.
Your Welcome. Do you prefer Coffee bean and tea leaf? or Starbucks?

This is soooooo sexist!
Well, this is a mommy blog. I don’t know too many boy-mommies.

I thought John might weigh in here (no pun intended)
He had something to say when Tieki Rae won the first comment of the week award too
He’s always got a little funny to add. Like a brother don’t you think?

Thank you, MZ!
I was going to nominate you for this award. Well, shoot.
Missy on Mon, 2nd Jul 2007 12:43 pm
Of course, I was hoping to nominate you as well but as always I am a day late and a dollar short! You do rock, by the way! Of course, judging by your next post (about the date with hubby) you don’t rock like you used to!!
Thanks that is sweet. These days, I rock out differnetly

Hey sweet friend, thanks for the award. . .aaw, I never win anything! I’m so proud! It actually comes at a fun time b/c my blog is about to get a lot cuter. . .hopefully. We have an unofficial referral of a little boy and are praying that it will be official by the end of the week. Wait till you see his picture, zabs! Oh, he already makes my heart stop! Love you!

I can’t wait to see the cutie, you are in my prayers.
