This week I received my very first blog award. What made this doubly exciting was that it came from Tristan over at Our Busy Homeschool.
Step 1 You have to thank the person who gave you the award
When I first started homeschooling it was a little overwhelming to say the least. I had a fantastic 'live bodied' mentor in Lucy up the road who made my jump into homeschooling life so much easier. I also found being able to peak in on another Latter Day Saint homeschooling home was fantastic. While finding my feet I 'followed' a lot of Tristan's advice. Investigated a lot of her curriculum choices and found her 'pearls of wisdom' so very helpful. She blog one day about the TOS Homeschool Crew 'try out', so I thought I would give it a go. So here I am sailing along with crew. Anyway, Thank-you Tristan.
Now I have to tell you 7 things about myself
1: I'm a kitchen-appliance-aholic. I love appliances and my friend Kim will testify that I spread that love around. I'm currently in love with my Pressure Cooker which recently multiplied to 2. (large family you know how it is)
2: My side of the bedroom is always messy. My husband & I are like the odd couple (only you older ones will know about that show) and my side is always a mess and his side, which is the half way point down the bed is always perfectly tidy!
3: I love 'kid fun'. I love playing with my kids, games, science stuff, craft, what ever. I love it.
4: I love 'homestorage' stuff. I am a hoarder by nature so the idea of being given the green light to hoard is SO up my ally. Homestorage might be a Mormon term. Click here if you are wondering.
"We encourage members world-wide to prepare for adversity in life by having a basic supply of food and water and some money in savings".
5: I have never read Twilight or Harry Potter. I realize I may be one of the few people on the earth that hasn't but here it is. Tristan may want her award back now.
6: I wear Ugg boots every wear and they should be made legal for church as well because I don't know about your chapel but ours is always freezing.
7: I am madly in love with my husband & kids and am so glad that I will have them for eternity.
Step 3 is to pass this along to blogs I love:
This is the hard part. Of course I would shoot one right back to Our Busy Homeschool. I love these sites all for different reason's.

You're the BEST! Thanks for being so sweet!
Trish from Prepared Not Scared!
Aww, thanks! I'm glad my blog has been helpful. And I love you even if you never read Harry Potter or Twilight. ;-) Just so long as you read something - books are essential to life you know!
Have to say I've never used a pressure cooker, though I'm always up for more appliances!
Thanks for sharing!!
Wish we could combine our Hobart frieds with our Brisbane friends...
love to all

Thank you Donna, you are very kind.
Blessings, Deanna
Congratulations on your award Donna! :-D
I also love kitchen appliances! I too am into food storage!
Don't wear ugg boots but am looking forward to seeing yours! lol
I too love my husband and children!
I too haven't read/seen Harry Potter but....I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I love....twilight. Although in my defence I resisted them for ages and finally gave in about 10 months ago when they read twilight for our ward bookclub. Got hooked then. ~sigh~
Yes to the kitchen appliances! But think how shallow my life was before I met you and was introduced to the wonderful world of electric frypans, and pressure cookers etc. (And you know nothing good can come of me and awards or anything I have to pass on!)
I have never read Twilight or Harry Potter either. You are not alone!
I am a latter day saint and about to homeschool my 5 children and am excited but I need help with curriculum and finding the right homeschooling group for our family.please help.
