Nominated! For Real?

Amber and I were so stunned and excited this morning to discover that our new blog 2 Teaching Mommies was nominated for the Homeschool Blog Awards!  We were even more flabbergasted to learn that we had been nominated in more than one category.  It truly is such an encouragement to us to be recognized. 

If you get a chance head on over and vote for your favorites and find some new ones to follow.  Oh, and we won’t mind if you want to support 2 Teaching Mommies.

Encouraging Followers

I am a blogger because I want to connect to others, who share similarities with me, who are traveling this road of Christian, wife, mother, teacher, etc.  I am a blogger because I love being able to connect to others who don't live near me and learn from them.  I am a blogger because I love collaborating and interacting with others, something I always had while I was a teacher.  For me, I enjoy being a blogger because of you, my readers.  I blog because of you.  I enjoy hearing from you after you read a post.  I soak in your ideas and learn from your lessons as a fellow traveler on these roads of life.  Your encouragement sometimes is just what I need to get through the day or the spark that sets a plan in motion.

I want to give a special thanks to these readers for their special recognition.

Theresa at All About Aidian passed the Lemonade Stand Award to me for being a blogger who shows great attitude and gratitude.  It definitly brought a smile to my face to read her kind words, especially, since I am working on being grateful in all circumstances.


I also received the Sunshine Award from Angela at Confessions of A Non-Domestic Housewife for being a blogger who positivity and creativity inspires others in the blog world. I was flabbergasted and glad that my little blog has given anyone some inspiration.

In short, if it wasn't for you readers...there wouldn't be A Mommy Talks.  So, as I am sure you all would agree...one Must Have for all bloggers are encouraging followers.  I truly appreciate you all for connecting with me in this blogging world.

An Award, For Me?

Shocked! Amazed! What? Who me? Utterly speechless! Those were the reactions I had when I received this award from Cindy at 5 Silly Frogs. I have been seeing these so called "blogger awards" posted on many individual blogs, but I wasn't jealous. Most of those blogs had been around for awhile, so I surely wasn't expecting to receive such a thing, being the newbie that I am. Then yesterday, out of the blue, one of my fellow bloggers pass it on to me. So, I would like to send a BIG! HUGE! GIGANTIC! (yes all three) THANK YOU to Cindy for reading my blog. If you like reading my blog, then you will enjoy Cindy's as well. Both of us are former school teachers, now turned SAHMs with little tots. So go check her out at 5 Silly Frogs.
