My First Award

I've been presented with my first ever Blog Award by the very talented Regina! I am super excited about it  as this was a goal I had set for this year and thanks to Regina is happened very quickly. The start of the year was not off to a great start and THANKS to Regina it's getting better already.  



I have to tell you 8 things about myself to accept this award and then present it to other bloggers that I find inspiration from. Here are the 8 things that you may or may not want to know: 

1 - I have many food allergies - mostly fruits. 

2- Turned 50 in December

3- Can't or won't write longhand - depends which way you look at it. I've been printing in block letters since grade 10 and even that can be hard to read.

4- On most days you can hear music in my house, LOUD!

5- To my husband's horror I like to play Barbie with Frankii, my almost 4 year old Golden Retriever x Pyranees.  We've been having a lot of snow days lately and it makes for very entertaining days! And no, I don't dress him up when we go out. This is purely for my own enjoyment although he does wear a scarf on a daily basis. My husband put his foot down at a green neon wig.  He never lets me have any fun! :)

6- Frankii (yup, it's spelt with two i's) came to us by way of an ad in a grocery store when he was 3 months old.

7- L-O-V-E cheese, any kind. My absolute favorite is from a dairy in St. Albert, Ontario. 

8- When I'm in a car as a passenger for any length of time I fall asleep. I'm a very quiet traveler.
The eight bloggers (in alphabetical order by first name) I present this award to are:
