I mentioned in a previous post that I am not going to be able to take my solo trip on Mother’s Day weekend this year.  I also mentioned that I believe that there must be a reason that I am not able to go and that I was just waiting to find out what that reason was. 

That reason has presented itself.  I entered my friend Gina in THIS CONTEST and WE WON!!!!

My friend and fellow blogger It’s A Jaime Thing has bestowed upon me this adorable award….

My Award!

How cool is that?!  Now, I get to bestow this award to 10 of my favorite blogs, which I promise to do.  But, it will have to be later today.  I promise to do it!  First, I have to go get my hair done.  My roots are, well….showing.  I’m sure you all understand. 

In the meantime, thank you Jaime!
