Thinking Blogger Award

Well, I was very surprised when Sue told me she nominated me in one of her top five blogs for this award. I started this blog back in December 2006 because I wanted to stay in touch with the families that we traveled with more. It just took off from there and has probably become my addiction when I have free time to be on my computer! ;) I decided that I wanted my blog to express my views on my family, adoption, things in my life, funny things that the kids do, little daily adventures and to try and be encouraging to those blogs I comment on. I have really enjoyed finding the blogs that I have so far, and I love hearing from everyone. When getting this award you are to link to the award site and nominate 5 of your favorite blogs that make you think.........this was hard...there are so many blogs that I just adore and go to on a daily basis........ So here they are in random order..... I'd add you all, if those were the rules! Jazzie and Tahlia Sandra's blog is one I love to read. She is down to earth, has Motherly wisdom and is not afraid to post trials along with happy posts. Families Grow~Watch Ours Verna is one of my travel mates and has also been known as the "Blog Fairy" I love her creativity and her love for making our blogs fun. She is using the donations she receives to go towards her daughter's trip to Israel and after that I believe she will take donations towards her second adoption. Who wouldn't want to help support that???? Pandapalooza Panda Mom's blog is a place I go to for spiritual encouragement. She always has that perfect scripture that hits home and has wonderful links that you can go to for encouragement as well. The Mad Race For Macey Kris has overcome so many obstacles in her life. She is recovering from many trials. She has accomplished GREAT ones!!!! I applaud her for adopting a child from China as a single woman. Her blog makes you think and her photography ability is remarkable. Seventh Diamond Kimberley is on her journey with her first adoption. She is a Mother that has wisdom. Her blog encourages and celebrates the joy of fellow bloggers. She is very artistic and will become a good friend to me during this long wait ahead of us. Now, take the time to stop by their blogs. And for those of you that I have nominated, I hope that you will share your favorite "Thinking Blogs" with us as well!

Side Note: I totally forgot about Panda Mom's post about the blogger issues! I'm so drawn to hers for other reasons that when this little thinking award started going around in bloggerland.....I just thought of her! Please stop by her blog...you'll see why it was so easy for me to choose her! ;) I'm so sorry Panda Mom!

Oh my gosh, thank you so much. Am I supposed to nominate people? Where do I go? What do I do??? I'm new to all of this!

kitchu said...

Sorry... figured it out! Thanks again. I'm off to work but will be thinking of who to nominate. I'm really flattered you thought of me!

Congrats!!!!! How wonderful!!!!

PandaMom said...

Ohhhhh! Thank you so much for your very sweet and kind gesture to me!! I do believe that we would be friends in person if we had the opportunity. I just love your precious family pics and all the fun stories that go along with them. As I am flattered by your nomination, I feel that I have to stand with my original post on the whole award thing and not post it on my site nor nominate anyone else. I think if I posted an award after what I said, it would be kinda hypocritical. Sooooo, with that said, PLEASE know that I appreciate you thinking that my blog has anything noteworthy, but I just can't participate in good conscience with the Thinker Blog links. I know you will understand! ; ) BTW: Great pic of you and your little man!!
