Does anyone like Lemonade??? I DO!!!!!!!

When LIFE gives you lemons, what do you do with them? Well, duh!!! Make Lemonade!! Right?

A BIG hug to Jamie for giving me this special award. And "WHY, do you ask is this award so special?" Because...it is very important in this stressful time of our lives (mouths to feed, bills to pay, husbands to keep sane b/c of this crazy market, a wild economy, etc.) to be as positive as possible in our daily lives! And if we aren't positive, who will show our kids that everything will be okay? Who will show them that life is as wonderful as they think it is??? Who will show them how to be silly in a very serious world?? It's our job (and more specifically my job) to be a positive role model for my children and husband every single day we are blessed to be together!

Do I have an amazing husband who supports me while I stay at home with our kids? YES! Do I have 2 adorable children who surprise me each day with their accomplishments and creativity? YES Do I have a supportive & loving family who I am very close to? YES! Do I have the most AWESOME friends in the entire world? YES!

So why would I be anything else other than POSITIVE???

Thank you Jamie for recognizing my effort to stay as positive as possible each & every day. I love you & can't wait to see you soon! You hold such a special place in my heart...a friend forever! :)

So I guess now it is my duty to pass this special award along to other deserving "bloggers".

#1: Sara (www.indyglenns.blogspot.com ) - Really? What can I say about my sister??? For those of you who are lucky enough to have met her, she is an old soul who is as real as you get. She is HONEST, BEAUTIFUL and DEVOTED...when she loves you, she REALLY loves you. She is a very real and positive person. I could go on & on about my little sis...I glow with pride when I talk about her!!!!!

#2: Kristen (www.henrysbigadventures.blogspot.com) - Hmmmm, thinking about how much I miss Kristen makes me a little teary-eyed! I really owe our friendship to a guy named Brandon who first introduced us - thinking we would get along well! Little did he know, we hit it off (sounds like a blind date, huh??) and have been amazing friends ever since!

#3: Bridget (www.thesmithfamily1115.blogspot.com) - This TOUGH girl has been through way too much. But if you take a moment to read her blog, you will find that she is as positive as they come! She is such a great friend...a dear friend that I met even before the start of our freshman year in college at dance team camp. ha! Those were the days...
