My first bloggy award!

Rachel over at Reservation for Six gave me a bloggy award this week and I am "over the moon" about receiving it. Rachel has become my blog buddy recently and if you haven't checked out her site, you should, especially this post showing her 4 kids as happy elves.

So the rules are as follows in order to accept the award, I need to:

• Put the logo on my blog.
• Add a link to the person who awarded me. (see above)
• Nominate 10 outstanding blogs that I follow. (The trouble with this is Rachel follows the same blogs as me and has nominated half of the ones I would have.)
• Add links to those blogs. (See below.)
• Leave a message to those nominees on their blog.

So, without further ado, I nominate the following blogs for a Butterfly Award:

• Crotchety Old Man Yells At Cars - Hilarious humor and so are the people who leave comments
• Any Mommy out there - Real life living with 3 kids and told so well
• Nanny Goats in Panties - Very funny writer - this was the first post I read and now I am hooked
• The Muse - An inspiring poet - you have to read this poem its my favorite
• Say Cheese - I came across this blog by accident and love her photography work in NY
• I need a Martini mom - The hilarious events of a kindergarten teacher with teenagers
• Bernthis - Her funny life in LA
• Slightly Cracked - Her life in Poland
• Write on Yo - I loved this post - it is so free
• Lost and Found in India - An Aussie living in India with a fantastic sense of humour.

This isn't part of the award rules but I double Rachel's award to Marinka from Motherhood in NYC.

Thanks again Rachel and if you are not nominated above its because Rachel nominated you.
