Bloggy Blessings!
Posted by Andrea“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” I Thessalonians 5:18
Today, BJ over at A Blessed Homemaker, surprised me with an award! Thank you BJ. I’m so happy that you’re enjoying your visits here at Embracing Him. This award was a such a pleasant surprise. It’s raining here and your award brightened my day! What a bloggy blessing!
Now that I’ve received the award, BJ has instructed me to list 5 things I am addicted to and then pass the award onto five other fabulous female bloggers.
My addictions:
- My family: God has certainly showered His finest blessings upon me! I have a fantastic husband (who deserves to hear more words of appreciation from his wife) and two darling daughters who mean the world to me! They make my life worth living to the fullest.
- Lip balm: I’m hooked. I have tiny tubes and little lip pots stashed in a variety of locations.
- eBay: I’ve been blessed with bargains galore through eBay, but our wonderful mailman, George, has not been blessed by my addiction. Just yesterday, he sweetly reprimanded me forcing him to lug such cumbersome boxes to my porch on a regular basis!
- Cooking: I love to eat so it’s probably good that I’m addicted to cooking. Cooking is one way I show love to my friends and family, so it’s perfectly acceptable for me to continue fueling my addiction by via cookbooks, food magazines, recipe websites, and food blogs.
- Charm bracelets: What can I say? I’m a girly girl! I love the jingling, jangling, and tinkling of these bracelets and I love that the charms represent many of the things that are important to me.
- Kathy over at Bona Vita: If you’re looking to make your home a wonderfully welcoming place for family and friends you must visit Kathy. She’s a homeschooling mother of nine (yes, NINE!) and still finds time to write encouraging posts full of inspiration and awesome photography. I found her blog earlier this year and have been hooked ever since! I so wish I lived near her!
- Amydeanne over at The 160 Acre Woods: Amydeanne always has terrific book recommendations. She’s an avid reader and she always posts reviews of the most fascinating books. In addition, her Word Filled Wednesday meme is a great place to find Christian encouragement.
- Jules over at The Roost: Whenever I visit Jules, I always laugh. Her posts are hysterical! She and her family have such fun adventures. I especially enjoy reading about her adorable grandson, Mr. Wonderful!
- e-Mom over at Chrysalis: When I began reading blogs, Chrysalis was one of the first I found. I continue to visit Chrysalis because e-Mom’s posts provide me with thought provoking topics, valuable information regarding Christian marriage, and some humor as well. When I decided to join her Marriage Monday meme, e-Mom happily welcomed me and even gave me the opportunity to serve as Marriage Monday hostess.
- Jenny over at Life Is Not a Cereal: I found Jenny’s blog while looking for early childhood activities for my Sweet Pea. Her heartfelt blog is full of Christian inspiration, recipes, and homemaking tips. If you’re a homeschooling little ones, I highly recommend visiting her other blog, Little Acorns Treehouse.
When you have a moment, do stop by and say hello to these wonderful women. I’m sure you’ll want to embrace their blogs too. When you get there, make yourself at home and stay a while. Oh, and don’t forget to let them know that Andrea sent you over!
