Check out my guest post!

My friend Heather recently asked me to guest post for her blog. She wanted me to do so because she was going to be welcoming home her husband from his first deployment. I was more than happy to help her out.

Her blog is He Wears Combat Boots, I Wear Stilettos and I highly recommend it! She is a personal friend of mine and she is one of the sweetest people I know. She blogs about everything from her 30 day challenge, to her obsession with Army Wives :), and from her passion about current events that affect her life and the lives of many, to her playlist of songs for deployment.

So here is my guest post. It's full of drama and intrigue! Oh who am I kidding, it's just full of drama. Drama I can expand on if you're interested! Go check it out! :D Tell me what you think here! And tell Heather what you think there! She is such a beautiful sweetheart and I'm so glad she and her hubs and their little girl are back together again. Check out their super sweet reunion pic and tell me you can resist visting her blog. You can't! It's impossible! ;)

You all are too kind! I'm blushing!

ThePunkRockMom has been honored again! So much bloggy love- I can't stand it!

Ok, I lied. I can stand it. I'm basking in it's lovey warm glow at this very moment. :D

First up, the amazingly awesome Kiranda from Welcome to Mommyhood has given me the following awards and I just can't thank her enough for thinking of me. She has an awesomely hilarious blog- she keeps me rolling on the floor daily with tales from her mommy-hood. Some of my favorites being when she blogs about her gorgeous and coolest-son-ever Austin, her many days-of-truths, and her random adventures  that let me know that she is a woman and mommy after my own heart. <3 

She blogs with honesty and humor and I have, on more than one occasion I believe, told her how much I flipping just love her face. That alone should get you moving over to her blog! So get over there. Do it for your own good. :D

So here are the awards she so graciously gave me:

 

So the duties, as Kiranda so excellently puts it, for each award is to thank the person that gave you the award [check], list 7 things about you that you haven't revealed to the bloggy-verse as of yet [check], and pass them on to the bloggers that deserve them [check]!

So here are my facts and some bloggy love to my awesome followers!

1. The last awesome book I read was Stephen King's Under the Dome. If you have not read this yet, I highly recommend it. It's awesome. Very. 
2. We just noticed there are fresh black berries growing behind our house and all up and down our street. So I am currently learning to make all things black berry. Jelly, jam, ice cream, etc. Who wants to come over? :D
3. I love to sew, paint, make crafts, etc, but I am SO lazy at actually doing them. It almost takes an act of God to actually get me over to my craft space sometimes. 
4. The Just Dance video game for the Wii is my new favorite work out. It actually has 'Lump' from The Presidents of the United States of America as one of the songs! SWEET.
5. Blimps freak me out.
6. Flying kites freaks me out.
7. When I was little, I used to tell people my name was Elizabeth because I hated my name. I'm ok with it now. :)

The Blogger Buddy Award goes to the following blogs for rocking my socks daily (in no particular order):

1. Just Thinkin'- In Pictures

2. Falafel and the Bee

3. Outside the Lines

4. Pix Plus

5. The Dreaming Press

The Chupacabra Award for Excellence goes to the following bloggers who keep me obsessed with their hilariosity, amazing posts and random exploits (in no particular order):

1. The Fertile Infertile/ Dragondreamer's Lair

2. RMONTALBAN

3. Awkward Sex and the City

4. Alabaster Cow

5. Chelsea's Psycho Babble

The Beautiful Blogger Award goes to the following blogs who amaze me constantly with their beautiful lives and sweet spirits (in no particular order):

1. They Call Me Mama

2. Atelier Caroline

3. Bugaboo, Mini, Mr, and Me

4. Surviving Motherhood

5. Life at the Zoo

And finally, I have been given the Blog with Substance Award from the gorgeous Caroline from Atelier Caroline!

 She has an amazing blog and I wish that I had her creativity (I mean, she's going to craft all month, and she's not even gonna buy new supplies till September! Talk about creative! I can't wait to see what she makes!)!  Every time I visit her blog, I'm drooling over her creations. Like this. And this. And this. Don't forget this (Yeah, she bakes too!  Flipping YUM!)! Ok, I have to stop now because I could go on till doomsday. 

But seriously, if you love handmade stuff, like to craft, and/ or are looking for some amazing inspiration, get your rear in gear and visit Caroline today! You'll be whipping up some awesome wares in no time. :D

So because of all that, I am truly honored to have had this award given to me by such an awesome blogger and crafter-after-my-own-heart. And the rules are the same for this award, thanks to the giver, some facts about yourself (7 seems like the going number) and pass it on to those lovely bloggers who fill their blogs with substance. :)

I'd like to give this award to the following bloggers (in no particular order):

1. If Life was like a Cupcake

2. Welcome to Mommyhood

3. Spermination Station

4. Hollywood Chic

5. Scrap Addict 4 Sure

All of these bloggy award recipients definitely deserve every award and more, and I hope you will all visit their blogs soon. They all rock!

A double honor for TPRM and I am tickled pink!

I have been bestowed another great honor to the power of 2!

The amazing Lolo from Crazy About My Baybah has given me not one, but two awards, and I am so thrilled and humbled. There are so many bloggers that deserve these awards, and I just adore her for choosing me. She is delightful and if you haven't been over there to check out her site, do yourself a favor and get on over there! For more about her blog, see my review of it in the post preceding this one. :)

Here are the two awards I humbly accept and am exceedingly grateful to receive:

First up is the Blogger Buddy Award!

The Blogger Buddy Award is for your blogger buddies!  Share 7 things about yourself, and then pass it on to 5 of your Blogger Buddies! 

So here are 7 things about me I have as of yet not disclosed to the bloggy world:

1. I am obsessed with Arizona green tea. It is pure addiction.

2. My favorite band is Blink 182 and have been for around 15 years.

3. I have never broken a bone. *I hear by cast jinx protection around this fact! lol!*

4. I never learned how to do the splits.

5. I cannot paint my nails worth a flip. A boy could do better and has done better.

6. I want to become a Roller Derby girl. I'm so psyched at the thought!

7. When I was little, I used to think food had feelings and if you didn't eat all of your dinner, the left over food would be sad. Like it didn't get to fulfill its one purpose in life. I was a weird kid. ;)

The 5 blogger buddies I wish to bestow this great honor upon are in no particular order:

1. Really? I'm a Mom?

2. He Wears Combat Boots, I Wear Stilettos

3. Really? Are You Serious?

4. It is Tuesday, right?

5. Absolut Anna

The next award I received is the I Heart Your Blog Award!

The I Heart Your Blog Award was made to give to bloggers that give you inspiration and support!  Pass this one on to anyone that gives you inspiration and/ or support!

The bloggers that give me tons of inspiration with their stories and their pictures and who definitely deserve this award are in no particular order:

1. irocksowhat
2. In the House with Wild Things
3. Not Always Picture Perfect
4. 100 Pursuits Prior to Passing
5. Ramblings and Photos

Love all of you guys! You all rock my world! And of course, you all deserve each award, but I wanted to spread around the love!
