Redefining Motherhood

Blog It Forward

So, it’s official.

I’ve been in the blogosphere for a month now and the connections I’ve made with so many bloggy friends have been nothing short of incredible. This experience has been far more rewarding than I could have ever imagined and it is due in part to the amazing women I’ve met along the way.

I am truly honored that my fellow bloggers have recently given me the following awards. It makes me feel that what I write matters, that my voice is being heard somewhere in cyberspace, and that I have made an impact in some small way on the blogosphere. That in itself makes this all worth the ride!

So, I decided to blog these awards forward in one long post. Although there are so many blogs I love and visit daily, I thought I wouldn’t disappoint if I just chose five blogs for each award to pass on. If you’ve been awarded, please be sure to scroll down to see which award you’ve received!

Alright Theta Moms, here we go…


INSPIRATIONAL BLOG AWARD:

Karie from The Five Fish awarded me the Inspirational Blog Award. I’m so flattered because she’s such an inspiration to me! She always writes with true compassion and conviction…she continues to make me want to be a better blogger.

Blog it Forward

ADORABLE BLOG AWARD:

Stacie from Supermommy to the Rescue awarded me TWO awards! The Adorable Blog Award and It’s a Major Award. Stacie’s blog is always a fun read and she’s definitely one of my favorites!

IT’S A MAJOR AWARD:

Again, given to me by Stacie, the rules for It’s a Major Award are:

This award is for anyone who likes to smile and/or laugh, and just generally spreads that along in the blogging world we all travel in.

Here are some blogs that make me laugh and/or smile:

More Than Words
Luscious Deals
Hip Mama’s Place
Hands, House and Heart Full
Kiddies Corner Deals


MEME AWARD:

This award came to me from fellow blogger, Momma Such from Raising My 4 Sons. I had the pleasure of finding her blog recently and I always enjoy my visits there!

Here are the rules for this award:
*Acknowledge the person who gave you the award.
*List 7 Personality Traits about yourself.
*Pass the award on to 7 other blogs that deserve recognition for the personalities that they share with the blogging world.

My 7 Personality Traits:

1. Creative: I love anything creative. As an elementary school teacher for ten years, I’ve learned some great tools of the trade. I try to do fun creative projects with my own kids. I think this is another reason why I love blogging so much…you get to show your creative side!
2. Worrier: I am one of those people who worry… a lot. Sometimes, it’s over the silliest things. I really have to work on that!
3. Friendly: I love to meet new people, which is why this whole blogging thing is so addictive!
4. Intelligent: I am very proud of the fact that I have an Ivy League education. I worked extremely hard for that degree.
5. Funny: Or at least, I think I am! :)
6. Organized: I am ridiculously organized. I love a clean home and an organized life. My kids will probably grow up the same exact way because their momma is a neat freak!
7. Stubborn: Although I don’t like to admit this one, I am. When I want something, especially a certain way, it’s just got to be that way…

Here are the blogs that have earned the Meme Award:

Living Life on Little Sugar Creek
Escape to My Thoughts
Capital Mom
Too Many Hats
Hearts and Hands


I LOVE THIS BLOG AWARD:

Baba from Babas Farm Life graciously gave me this award, so go check her out.

The rules for this award are:
1) Grab the Award and link love the person whom you got the award from.
2) Pass the award to different bloggers whom you think are deserving of this award.
3) Write a post about the award and there you’ll link the person who gave the award to you and those people who you’d like to pass the award.
4) Continue your passion in writing because your hard work will always be appreciated.

I’m passing this award on to:

Coming Clean: Confessions of an Imperfect Parent
Domestically Challenged
Wee Shenanigans
Our Nifty Notebook
Teresa’s Treasures

HUMANE AWARD:

Meg from Meg’s a Mommy awarded me the Humane award. Be sure to check out her blog!

The Humane Award honors bloggers that are kindhearted individuals. They regularly take part in my blog and always leave the sweetest comments. If it wasn’t for them, my site would just be an ordinary blog.

Their blogs are also amazing and are tastefully done on a daily basis. I thank them and look forward to our growing friendships through the blog world.

Link back to the person who gifted you with the award and share the love with other bloggers.

A Woman’s Life Stages
Guessing All the Way….
Simply Blessed
3 Little Ones
My Take on Mommyhood

Once again, thank you for all of the bloggy love and support over this past month! You’ve made my entrance into the blogosphere such an amazing experience! I look forward to building these relationships, making more connections and continuing this journey together.

We are all Theta Moms, redefining the role of motherhood…one mom at a time.

  36. * Visiting from SITS
    Great Blog!
    I do have to ask as a fellow blogger asked before what and how did you generate such a following after one month?

    I'm new to the blogoshere and I am on all these different social networking sites trying to direct traffic back to the blog. What can I do differently?

    I'm on SITS everyday blog hopping and commenting as well. I follow blogs that I truly have an interest in and like. I'm still working on fine tuning my blog so I'm sure there will be changes but, in the mean time…
    What's your secret?

    Reply

  38. Wow! I'm just getting started in the blogging world too and you are definitely inspiring me to want to work hard at it to make some of the wonderful connections that you've made. Congratulations on all of your awards!

    p.s. Following you from MBC Under 100!

  47. Congrats on all your awards, Heather! I'm definitely following you, now.

    BTW, my name is Angela of Mom's Fortress of Solitude. I'm the one who started this whole Blog it Forward movement.

    I just wanted to let you know that the image you have posted as the award is not actually the award. lol

    This is the button to add to your sidebar, letting everyone know you are participating in Blog it Forward and inspiring the world with your thoughts. Feel Free to add it to your sidebar and sign up to participate. :o)

    The Inspirational Blogger Award code is down toward the bottom of the Blog it Forward post.

    Feel free to copy and paste this code in place of the one in your post. It's much prettier. ;o)

    I look forward to reading more of your posts.

    Angela
