Thanks for Another Award

I adore fellow bloggers like Jess from Balancing the Dream that read my blog and find it award worthy. It makes what I do feel very worth while besides the fact that I'm having a blast blabbing daily about things I love and feel passionate about.

Here are 7 more things you don't know about me:
1. I was born in Austin, Tx
2. The first time I went to IKEA I couldn't get out fast enough. Hated it. Boy has that changed!
3. Thrifty is my middle name.
4. Quacamole is what I crave. I can eat it by the spoonful.
5. My toe nails are painted plum right now because I'm so over summer and ready for fall!
6. Starbucks is a ripoff in my opinion, but I still go there. I'm too lazy to make my own coffee drinks at home.
7. I need a vacay to Fiji!

I'm passing on this award to these awesome blogs so go check them out:

1. A Sense of Design

2. BDG Style
3. Cove and Grey 
4. Delightful Order
5. Desire to Decorate
6. Just a Touch of Gray

Award

Thanks so much to Hollie from I'm Busy Procrastinating for passing on One Lovely Blog Award to me.

Visit her blog and see why she has one lovely blog herself! Her kitchen is pretty darn close to my dream kitchen. White subway tile and Carrara Marble....ahh!!!

Part of this award is to tell you 7 quick things about myself that I'm sure you want to know. You will sleep better tonight I'm sure knowing these things. So, here goes...

1. My husband and I went to Jamaica for our honeymoon and experienced zip lines for the first time. Amazing and scary at the same time!

2. I bought way too much at the Nordstrom Annv. sale this year. I'm still waiting for things to arrive.

3. The UPS man comes to my home almost everyday! Small shopping addiction at my home? I think not!

4. I love me a good, cold, cherry/grape snow cone say, everyday!! ( At least in the summer)

5. I crave ice cream in the winter. Don't ask me why because I don't know. Normal people crave a hot latte.

6. I'm obsessed with lamps! There are about 20 in my home. Let there be light!

7. I love my followers that read my blog frequently and tell their friends and their friends to follow along. :)

Now, enough about me. I'm passing this award on to 15 other blogs that I read daily and find to be quite awesome!

Award

  

A million thanks to Emily at The Fine House for passing on this award to me. Now, as an award recipient, one rule is that I have to tell you 10 things about myself, then pass on the award to 10 deserving bloggers. Boy, that's hard to pick just 10 because there are so many amazing blogs that I read daily. So first, here goes 10 things about myself....

1. I taught 1st and 2nd grade for 7 years before I decided to be a SAHM to my precious Baby A who turns 1 next week!!

2. I am addicted to TJ Maxx and Home Goods! Duh! Who wouldn't be? It's so bad that I know their shipment schedules and their employees recognize me when I come into the store. I think they should award me as a top shopper with a permanent discount!

3. I once took up golf until my husband and I stopped speaking to one another on the course and started riding in separate carts. Now, my clubs are collecting dust in the attic. Plus, it's just way too hot to play golf in Texas!! Now, he golfs and I blog! Blogging is way cooler on many levels! Also, where we golfed doesn't even look like the pic below or I would have stuck with it. 


4. I LOVE music and singing (in private). If you pull up next to me at the stop light you will look at me and laugh because it will appear that I'm either talking to myself or jamming out. It just plain makes me happy! 

5. I can't stop watching Bravo TV! Housewives, Bethenny, Pregnant in Heels, and many more.... Oh, how I love these!

  

6. I heart Dr.Pepper even though I know it's bad for me and I should drink water instead. 

7. My favorite food is guacamole. Basically, I could eat mexican food at every meal, but if I did then my butt would be HUGE! 

8.  My closet is full of cardigans!! And I am completely slightly obsessed with J Crew where I have purchased my many stylish cardis. Right now I am on a cardi break though because it's a million degrees here in Dallas and way too hot for them. See you in the fall cardis! 

9. I have the cutest boxer ever! Her name is Lily or AKA Big Sister. She was my Christmas present from Randy 5 years ago, the week before we got engaged. We left her with my parents while we went to New York City for Christmas ( and to get engaged) and I sobbed like a baby when I left her. I felt sure that she thought she was being abandoned again. Poor little Lou and cry baby mom. 

10. I really wish I was on the beach right about now with my toes in the sand......

That's all you get on me. Now on to the 10 very deserving and creative bloggers that I am passing on this award to. Here they are in no particular order. (That's my disclosure)

1. Name 5 Things

2. Honey We're Home

3. A Thoughtful Place

4. A La Mode

5. Cardigan Junkie

6. All Things Bright and Beautiful

7. Dwellings by Devore

8. The Way We Are
