blogging award

I was recently (I use that term loosely as the award was given to me almost TWO WEEKS ago!) awarded the Versatile Blogger award. This is my second time to get this award and I am thrilled. So fun to be thought of and mentioned by another blogger.

Thanks so much Dinosaurs and Octopuses for giving me this award!

So, the rules of the award are

• Thank the person that nominated you with a link back to them.
• Tell everyone seven things about yourself.
• Pass this award on to 15 newly discovered blogs and let them know that they've received an award!

Seven things about me....hmmmm....

1. I am a little kid's choir director at my church.

2. I am addicted to hot tea. And not just any tea but the tea that I can only get from a store that is half way across the country where my sister-in-law lives. My husband orders it in bulk and buys it for me for gifts! So not green of me!

3. I play Freecell on my computer way too much.

4. In January I start my one year term as the Chair of the Board of Directors for the WI Association for Environmental Education and I am TERRIFIED!

5. I love Christmas decorations! So much so that I had my sister throw my a christmas themed wedding shower and everyone had to buy me christmas decorations for our house!!

6. I still dream about what I want to be when I grow up, like an actress or a broadway star!

7. I am hoping to plan a LONG camping trip for my family to the black hills in South Dakota this spring!

Now to pass the award along!

1. Wildlife Fun 4 Kids
2. Growing Roots for a Better Tomorrow - this isn't actually a new blog to me but I feel like I recently re-discovered it, so I think that counts!
3. No One Has More Fun Than The Adams'! 
4. Sun Hats and Wellie Boots
5. Make Early Learning Fun!
6. Happy Little Messes
7. Taming the Goblin
8. Rainy Day Mum

I Loved this list! :) thanks for including me :)

Good Luck on your Chair job Wisconsin is lucky to have you and your passion for kids in nature.

Thanks! I am honored that so many of these amazing moms and educators have stopped by my little piece of the blogging world and that I have gotten to connect with them over topics such as environmental education for little ones and outdoor play!

[Joyce @Dinosaurs And Octopuses]

I really enjoyed reading your list! I wanted to click "like" on your Freecell one. Lol. Good luck on your Chair position. I'm sure you'll be fabulous. :) And I can't wait to hear more about your camping trip! That sounds like a lot of fun! Now I'm off to visit the blogs you mentioned that I was previously unaware of. Thanks for sharing some of your favorites!

What a great list of blogs!!!! We had a fantastic time when we were in the black hills a few years ago. Dane thought it was fantastic to have a traffic jam because the buffalo decided to stand in the middle of the road. It was fantastic! We loved Custer State Park, and had a great time exploring the area.

Thanks for the award! I feel very honoured! I was lucky enough to recieve this a month ago too. I feel so guilty that I haven't done it yet but life is so busy with a preschooler and twins!

I will try to do this though. I'm sure everyone would love to hear about the time I was bitten by a koala!

Oh, and I like you even more now that I know more about you!

[penny @ Wildlife Fun 4 Kids]

Off to check out the list!

Congratulations on your award! Freecell? Should I be getting into that or is it way too addictive?

[Jill @ a mom with a lesson plan]

Okay... just starting to "get into" tea. What's your fav called??? Thank you for including me;)

[Mama Pea Pod]

Awww, thanks for including us, Abbie! What a great list of blogs you've compiled!

[Rebekah@GoldenGleam]

Thank you so much for including my blog on your list. =) I just noticed this because we were on a family road trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas. I am excited to check out some of the "new to me" blogs on your list.
