Go check out her new "do."  She just recently donated TWO big ponytails to Locks of Love

Now, I've always taught my kids to live out the motto "With Privilege Comes Responsibility."  Heaven forbid I don't practice what I've preached!!  So with the privilege of receiving this award I'll pass it onto the following recipients. 

Here's a blog I've read off and on, but I'm always encouraged to see what homemaking adventures this lady is up to.  She also takes beautiful photos of her garden.  Her name is Rachelle and when I visited her blog today, I saw she had some incredibly wonderful news.  Go check it out. 

Another faithful blogger who I enjoy reading is Michelle over at School of Thankful Hearts I found her by clicking "Random Blog" and discovered she also lived in my state at one time.   I found her around the time of our Alaskan cruise, and was drawn to the fact that she and her husband run a Christian Camp in Alaska.  We also share a love of the same authors.  Michelle considers her life to be electic, and I can so relate. 

The next recipient of the Blog Friend Forever award goes to Rebeca at Carried on the Wind I always find her adventures exciting and she didn't let me down recently with her entry on shopping in Mexico.  Whew~

Deb at Deb on the Run is the only blogger I've met on Homeschoolblogger, then actually met in person.  Our daugthers sing in an acapella group together.  In fact they have a concert coming up at the Austrailian Embassy very soon.  Deb's contempletive blog entries have been a great introduction to application of Christian Orthodoxy in a homeschooling family.   She's always encouraged me to write more often here on my blog.  Oh, and one other thing, I don't think I've ever known anyone who reads more than Deb, and she has SIX kids. 

Another must read for me is Lisa's The Homestead Way of Life  I'm a surburan homesteader wannabe.  Reading Lisa's newsletter, which is a great publication, btw, always inspires me to make the most of my little piece of land the Lord's blessed us with.  I submitted recipes to her newsletter this fall when my garden was overflowing and creativity was a must.
