Walking by the Way

Over the Top!

I don’t usually take the time to accept the blog awards; my blogging is so sporadic and inconsistent that I’m usually on sabbatical when I receive one. 

But, I received this one TWICE, so I’m posting it.  I actually like the little list that goes with it (odd for me)!

33. One place that I go over and over? crazy
34. One person who emails me regularly? Kohl’s
35. Favorite place to eat? Moe’s!

Now, I am to pass the award on to some over-the-top bloggers who should copy the list (answering each question with one word) and pass the fun on to even more over-the-top bloggers. 

1. Jocelyn @ No Textbooks Required
I always leave her blog inspired; it’s freeing to remember that learning happens in so many different ways; she also takes fantastic pictures!

2. Jodi @ My Two Small Boys
Jodi is my real life friend.  I love looking through all her lapbook pictures!  She recently posted a really fun outdoor activity that I have on my to-do list. 

3. Michele @ My Blessings from Above
Michele will help you save money and share her adventures with her two boys who are adopted from Korea.   You should definitely check her blog out!  

4.  Leslie @ Joyful Mother of Six Children
I have laughed and cried with Leslie over the course of reading her blog as she has been met with challenge after challenge.  This woman loves her family and loves the Lord; she is one of my heroes.

5.  The Activity Mom
She has been a reader of my blog, so I followed some comments over to her blog and I found new ideas to use with Simon.  If you have a preschooler, go check her out!

6.  Candace @ His Mercy is New
She encourages me as she shares her life in a very real way.  She also posts gobs of homeschooling plans that I love to devour late at night with a big cup of tea.  

Also, I want to give a  big thanks to Heather and Tristan  who gave me the Over the Top award; check out their blogs as well. 

Not to turn this post in to a commercial, but while you are checking out some of these new-to-you blogs, don’t forget to find your favorite blogs and nominate them for the Homeschool Blog Awards!    I’m sure my bloggy friends mentioned in this post about wouldn’t mind a nomination or two!  

I must be really nice! ~LOL~

I’ve been nominated for the nice blog award…not once, not twice, not even three times, but FOUR times! Thank you gracious ladies for bestowing such an honor on me; it was very nice of you!
