Posted in Awards

I wanted to say Thank you to bubbebobbie from Encouragement Along the Way,  and to proverbsmomof3 from Proverbs22:6 Academy and also to SchoolinRhome  for this sweet award. I don't know if it is allowed but, I give it back to each of you ten times:) For you have definitely made me smile this last week. And God knows I really needed that.

So, here are the " rules " made by the person who created the award:

"The thing that I love most about blogging is that I learn so much about a person just by reading their blog. I have met MANY wonderful people with wonderful stories to tell, and I am grateful every day for each person that I have the pleasure of crossing paths in life with. I wanted to create something special for the top ten people who have inspired me through their blogging; the stories they tell, and the lives that they lead with grace and dignity. I visit their blogs for inspiration and encouragement. Please grab your badge and wear it (with a smile) proudly, and pass it on because you inspire and encourage me, thank you."

Pass it on to those who encourage and inspire you so you can Make them smile!

I want all the readers and all my HSB friends to know that each one of you make me smile:) When you leave comments, I smile. When I read your blogs, I smile. When I read about your homeschooling adventures, I smile. When I see pictures on your blogs of your homeschooling days (the good and not so good), or flowers, of nature, or lapbooks, or your children singing, working, playing, science projects, artwork, it all makes me smile.  Okay, I know I have to narrow it down. It won't be easy but I sure will give it a try. Can I give back to those that gave it???? Okay well here goes,and in no particular order:

HisWillingVessel She inspires me in that she is a hs mom of eight children and has time to blog, smell the rose, take beautiful photo's. She shares recipes and a lot of healthy information. She is a Titus 2 Mentor and in todays society that is hard to find...well except on HSB  I look up to her and respect her advice and appreciate her encouragement.

  SeekingJESUSnTeachingKIDS from Five In a Row  I like that she posts photos of her family and her finds ("So whats in your pockets?), and because she has a great sense of humor and I can tell just by reading her entires. Her comments and her posts make me smile

 sahmto4orMore . Her posts are full of smiles. She shares yummy recipes ( which I need more of), is a great mother, does all kinds of work even while she is pregnant ( like floors, and I'm not talking mopping). Reading about her days lets me know that I CAN do this.

MyChildrenAndMe Debbi has recently made me smile. I have wanted to find out how in the world to make my blog "prettier" like a lot of those I see on here. Well she has offered help and that definitely made me smile:) Also I enjoy her blog.

2peter318 JoAnn has been an encouragement to me from the beginning of my blog days here at HSB. She is quick to reply to an email, always with kind words and also fast at returning a visit to her blog.  

WaitingontheLord Her post are full of laughs. If you have not read "Moleys" you have got to get over there and do so. Each time I even think about it I smile. Sometimes even laugh.

There are so many others ( like those who presented this to me) here at HSB that make me smile. I have been at this all day trying to narrow it to ten and decide just who I would give this to. Have I ever mentioned that I am terrible at decisions?? So I made it to six, nontheless there are so many more. Just know that if you are reading this, it is very likely that, you have made me smile.

Oh yea, if you will, please keep me in your prayers. I have been pretty ill this weekend and will be going to the Dr. tomorrow. Momma can't stay sick too long cause if she does won't nobody here be wearing a "smile".

Be blessed in Christ Jesus,

Stacy
