Blog Award

very-inspiring-blogger-award

A very humbling thank you to Emma Duncan at MotherEm for nominating me for the Very Inspirational Blogger Award. (I must admit I have been very slack in publishing this since my nomination 14 April 2013) This award does its rounds on blogging sites and it found me! (Big cheesy Grin) It’s a great way to highlight new blogs, or blogs other bloggers like to read. (Make sense?)

The rules for this award nominations are:
1. Thank and link back to the blogger who has nominated you, (Check)
2. Post the award logo to your blog. (Check)
3. Nominate and link to 15 other very inspiring bloggers. (Check)
4. Notify them; and tell 7 things about yourself. (TO DO!)

I know some of my nominations will have already been nominated, but I feel it important that they get mentioned as they have been my saving grace and sanity some days. So my 15 nominations are as follows (in no particular order) I only managed 10 – But they are 10 pretty awesome blogs.

1) Postpartum Progress
2) Farewell Stranger
3) Learned-Happiness
4) MotherWho
5) Sula1968
6) Journey Into The Spectrum
7) Motherhood Unadorned
8) The Clothes Line IE
9) My Thoughts On A Page
10) Mamas Comfort Camp

Spagetti For Breakfast

When Asked what she wanted for breakfast last Friday, Miss S declared, Pagetti.

And so Pagetti she got.

Yes as I have mentioned before in Let them eat cake, life is to precious to sweat the small things like meal time battles. Anyway her amazing mom (aka ME) is a huge advocate in spagetti for breakfast.

It was a great moment to share pagetti for breakfast with my mini me.

Yes I am “that kind of mom”. I give in. I pick my battles, and I am trying day to day to not sweat the small stuff and enjoy every moment and heartbeat I am blessed with.

Update: PS – Spagetti was leftovers and not made from scratch - NO WAY I AM THAT COOL or ACCOMODATING :)
