So I’m a bit surprised and very honored that one of my favorite bloggers, Abbie of Farmer’s Daughter, gave me the Sunshine Award. This award is supposed to be passed along to 12 bloggers who brighten your day when you stop by and visit them. Being that my last year has been a mix of good vibes and hard moments, I’m feeling pretty good that someone considers my blog, where I speak my heart out, to be uplifting. Anyway, I turn to other bloggers too when I need a boost, a little ray of sunshine to make me think, make me smile, or inspire me to try something new. I am passing on the Sunshine Award to the following 12 bloggers:
Erin of bluebirdbaby
Valerie of Frugal Family Fun Blog
Nicole of GardenMama
Beth of I Should Be Folding Laundry
Stacy of Mama-Om
Cyndi of Collecting Leaves
Ruth of Musings of An Everyday Woman
Aisling of Quiet Country House
Wendy of Mother Rising
sunnymama of sunnydaytodaymama
Robin of woowoomama
Regina of Creative Kismet
Thank you ladies for the sunshine, the inspiration, and for simply being there. You’re awesome!

Wendy, you always seem to know the right words to add. Thank you for the quote. I’ll have to file that one away, :-)
Thank you so much Jessica! I am honored :)

Your blog has always brightened my day! Even when you’re having your toughest moments, I appreciate your honesty about being a parent. It’s refreshing! Plus the great photos of your kids make me daydream :)

Of course! I can’t wait to return to your Sunday Stroll feature once I get gardening again. Annabelle and I have started a little bit of an indoor garden. So far 2 plants; I consider these cheap, natural ways to clean the air in our winter home, :-)
Congratulations on your award and thank you so much for choosing my blog as one of those to pass it on to! You have a lovely blog that definitely brightens my day and I just love your beautiful photography. Some of the blogs you’ve chosen I know and they are fantastic (will be checking out the others!) so I am very honoured to be among them. I wondered though if you would mind changing my name in this list to my blog name (sunnymama) as I hope to keep my blog anonymous until sunnyboy is older. Don’t worry if it’s too late to change it but I hope you don’t mind me asking anyway. I did try to email but couldn’t get your feedback page to work. Thanks again for the award and for the sunshine you spread through your blog! :)

Absolutely! My e-mail is listed on the “feedback” page, which I’ll now change to “contact.” I am so sorry about this. I’ll remember for next time, :-)

Thank you :) Your contact page doesn’t work for me still though. I just get a 404 message. Not sure if it’s just me that it’s not working for so thought I’d let you know. Thanks again for the award. I’m so pleased to receive it and will pass it on as soon as I can. :)
Dear Jessica,
Thank you for sharing this love with me, I appreciate your friendship and enjoy visiting you in this space. I am proud of you for the journey you have taken and am excited to see more of your beautiful photography! Warmest wishes xo
