Blogging Awards

Apparently there is some wonderment going around as too what IS Motherhood For Dummies name!? I have seen a bit of people posting that they don't know it or coming up with nicknames like M for D. I have even been called Michelle a few times, which is my sister over at Scribbit. But my favorite is MFD... which I think sounds kind of cool... makes me feel smart, like I have some kind of Master's degree from some fancy pansy school. So, for all of you out there wondering.... pondering... up at night tossing and turning... okay, maybe none of those, but for people who are curious... I go by Melissa :) So, hello to you all... my name is Melissa :)

Also I have received two fun awards.

I got "You Rock" award from a sweetie named Wendi over at Because Wendi Said So, so I guess I rock... because she said so :) She always seems to have something sweet and fun to say about her life. Always sharing bits and pieces with all of us. Thanks Wendi

I received this award from from Amanda at Lifelong Playdate. If that title alone doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what will. She constantly has fun picture of her beautiful family, especially her GORGEOUS little girl, which always seems to be having some good old fun (especially with Glade plug-ins)

However, in receiving this award there are some rules. You must.....
1. Chose 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community, no matter what language.
2. Each award has to have the name of the author and a link to his/her blog to be visited by everyone.
3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name of and link to the blog that presented her/him with the award.
4. The award winner and one who has given the prize has to show the link of Arte Y Pico blog so everyone will know the origin of this award.
5. To show these rules.

So I would like to pass this award too..

1. Mrs. Mogul at Mrs. Mogul. She has such a fun wit to her, always great stories, helps feed my pop culture need, and can laugh at anything!

2. Tranny Head from Law School Sucks And So Do Lawyers. Her attitude will crack you up, with either stories about the odds things that have happened to her (like Mommy and Me music class) or her hysterical view on things.

3. Jennifer from If You're Happy And You Know It. I just recently discovered Jennifer and what can I say?... She has already impacted me because she is just as sweet as can be. She is someone that really makes me love blogging! Plus, it is always fun to read what her son think about nose hairs and boogies.

4. Heidi from Viking Conquest. I'm sure she has many awards, but still... I want this one to go to her. Her and her family were living in Norway for almost a year, with posts and stories all about their amazing travels and adventures. Now she is currently trying to re-entry their Canadian lifestyle, still filling their lives with fun and entertaining situations :)

5. Andria from Hot Sommers Mama. One of my friends that I grew up with here, in Alaska. She is one of the happiest, bubbliest, sweetest people you could ever meet. And just by looking at the pictures on her blog, you can tell her darling boys are the same! She is a lifelong Alaskan who has moved down to Yuma, Arizona; where the heat rivals death valley. So, if you are looking for some cute stories, sweet pictures, or some yummy recipes give her a click :)
