Its a link fest...

So I about peed in my pants when I realized that I was awarded 3 awards yesterday! THREE!!!

I just still cant believe it! I jumped on my table and did a dance cyote ugly style! Not really but I totally wanted to!

Anyways, Im about to list them all so this post will include A TON of links and I really strongly encourage you to check each and every one of them out because they are ALL worth it. Would I lie to you? I think not....

The first one comes from my blogging mentor. If it wasnt for her, I probably wouldnt be blogging. I love her...




and you should too! Stop by and check her out!

Stop by and show her some love too!





For this award I must tell you 10 things that make me happy and ill pick 10 sites that make me happy!

Things that make me happy are as follows:


1. My girls! The single most important thing in my life!

2. My husband...I love him sooooo much!

3. Massages...my husband gives good ones which is part of the reason he's #2.

4. Laughing...I love a good laugh :)

5. My family and friends....

-My sister....I love her....I wish she didnt live in Nashville and lived closer to me!
-My in-laws...Im am so blessed with great ones...I have 2 brothers in-law and 1 sister in- law, all of which I adore!
- My friends....Im making some great friends here in Pittsburgh but my closest ones live far
away, boooo...Im starting a campaign to get them all to move here!

6. My dog, Mr T. I guess just dogs in general. I think they are hilarious and they all make me
happy.

7.Days to myself.

8. vacuming...is that weird?

9. my church...I dont think ive ever actually looked forward to going to church before I started going to my current one.

10.working out...I havent been doing it lately and I think ive gained like 10 lbs. It does make me a happier person though.

and one last thing: COFFEE!


Blogs that make me happy are as follows:

1. Nikki....shes my bloggy bff/sister/same person....its weird but we are the same.
2. Rachel....shes got great taste, shes funny, shes beautiful, and I think shes just the bees knees.

3. Laura Jane....just looking at her blog makes me happy.

4. Carrie....shes new but I already love her blog.

5. Messy Mommy....I just love her blog! Its so cute and she dances like its going out of style!

6. Maria....I found her when I first started blogging and she is an AMAZING writer!

7. H.....Also found her when I started blogging and loved her ever since.

8. Stacia...Her blog is pretty

9. Katie....shes new so Im showing my support!

10. Jennifer.....shes new too! And she sells sentsy..I love sentsy



Then I got the Honest Scrap award from








and







These two blogs are my favs...I actually get excited when they have new posts and I cant wait to read what they have to say! I dont think I could say enough about them as far as how great I think the two of them are!

For this award I have to tell you ten honest things about myself that nobody knows, hence the honest award, and then pick 10 honest blogs.



Honest things are:

1. Im tired ALL the F'in time...I dont know why and I have gone to the dr for it to no avail.

2. Im a really happy person but I have times where I just randomly fall into deep depressions, it started after the birth of daughter #1.

3. I laugh at a lot of stuff that no one else thinks is funny.

4. I NEVER thought I would be a stay-at-home mom, I was always very career focused until #1

5. I do not get along with my mom, my grandma is my mother figure and best friend.

6. I gained 70 lbs with both my girls and lost it both times! Now my fat ass is gaining weight again....time to get off the computer I guess.

7. Ive never smoked in my life but after my second daughter I was craving cigs...EWWWW

8. My husband and I want to go to ireland someday.
9. I have to dye my hair now because my sister, who does hair, found grey hairs. Nnnooooooo!

10. My favorite thing to do it sit on my deck with a glass of wine and listen to bob marley.

Honest blogs, not to mention GREAT blogs! These blogs also make me happy!


2. Daisygirl @ adailyscoopofchaos

3. Pamela @ 2 much testerone

Of course I get into the awards thing, girlfriend!! I just hate having to choose other blogs to award! :-( But I am honored, my dear, and I love your blog!

Meant to be Mom said...

Thanks for the mention Jessica! Great post!!!!!

Nikki said...

You made my day again and I almost made me shed a few tears because I was having a pretty crabby morning!!
I'm pretty sure we could have been separated at birth.
Sitting out on the deck with a glass of wine and Bob Marley would be my ideal evening!! I wish we lived close so we could hang together!!!
And I sometimes get into little bouts of depression...for no reason really...I just feel sad! And then I get mad at myself because I shouldn't feel that way! Probably just being tired and stressed!
You deserve these....I can't wait to read your posts and look forward to it everyday...so could you get on top of posting everyday please!!
You bloggy BFF/Sister/Other half!!
~Nikki
