As a new blog I am very honored to say that I have been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Sarah of Mommin in the real world. Sarah lives in Kanas with her husband and two children. As a child, one of the things Sarah wanted to be was a writer. After many attempts at writing as an adult she thought, “Hey, what about blogging?” She toyed with the idea for a long time and after much consideration from there “Mommin in the real world” was born. There she shares her creativity, share her experiences as a new parent, and also connects with and teaches others. I encourage you to drop by and pay her a visit.
About the Versatile Blogger Award
The Versatile Blogger Award (VBA) is given to other bloggers for their contributions to blogging. According to the VBA’s web page, “When you consider nominating a fellow blogger for the Versatile Blogger Award, consider the quality of the writing, the uniqueness of the subjects covered, the level of love displayed in the words on the virtual page. Or, of course, the quality of the photographs and the level of love displayed in the taking of them. Honor those bloggers who bring something special to your life whether every day or only now and then.” You can read more about the award at VBA.

I started to blog as a way to tell my story. More for myself and as a memoir for my boys. I never expected the opportunities I have been presented with and the people I have connected with.
Congratulations! Keep up the good work going. Best wishes 🙂
