I'd like to thank the academy...

Angelina at Homegrown Naturally passed an award on to me yesterday and I am so grateful. Blogs take a lot of effort and time, and sometimes it is difficult to ascertain whether or not people are liking what you choose to write about. When I started this blog I wanted to share the little things we do (recipes, money saving, mindful living) to make my life joyous in the hopes that others will find information and inspiration. It is nice to know that my writing is noticed with such lovely kudos. Thanks Angelina!




Here are the Award Rules, if you find yourself the recipient of this award.
I hope you will pass it along!

•Thank the blogger who awarded it to you.
•Sum up your blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using ten (10) words.
•Pass it on to 10 other blogs which you feel have real substance.

So, to fulfill my obligations...

Thank you Angelina for such a nice award. I appreciate that you thought of me and my little blog.

My blogging philosophy: Mindfully connecting present to the past while treading Earth lightly.

Here are the people (and their blogs) that brighten up my day:

Kari at Moo Said The Mama is a terrific, intelligent, academically minded homemaker. She is constantly challenging me.

Sue at Living the Good Life is down to earth, a real Mother Hen for me. I love it!

Simple Mama at Homemade Serenity is chalked full of inspiring ideas. I love stopping over at her blog.

Sweet Locus Farm is a farm in my neck of the woods (Ontario) and love reading about life on her farm, the day to day activities and all the lovely projects she does.

Dixie at Eat At Dixie's is eco-conscious lady who share her adventures, feelings and philosophies in a very down to earth way.

Wendy at Butterflies and Breezes has created a lovely home-centred female-empowered blog that I recently discovered.

Slow Living essentials is another recent addition to my daily visits and already I am enjoying it immensely.

Powell River Books is a nice slice of blog-o-sphere where Margy lives with her husband on a floating cabin in British Columbia.

Simple Natural Homestead is a terrific blog with lots of thought provoking content on holistic living, raw food and living a better life.

Sarah at The Napping House is full of fun, kid friendly ideas. I love the slice of life her blog brings to my daily readings.

Julie at Towards Sustainability is another kindred spirit with lots of good simply living posts.

That was hard, hard to narrow down. All the blogs I follow are excellent, if I didn't feel so I wouldn't follow them.
