One more thanks goes out this morning.  This time to Willow at Apron Strings and Angst.  Willow chose ME for an award - the "Sharing the Love Award", no less.  I'm so honored.  Today is a banner day for me with the recognition I received from MomDot (see post below) and this wonderful award!  Thank you, Willow.

Memoirsofamommy.com says The rules of this award are: SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with all those blogs out there that you love. All the people who make you smile. All those that make you laugh. All those that make your day. All those that leave uplifting comments on your blog. **All I ask, is that you include a link to this post with the award and ask your recipient to do the same**

Choosing blogs to pass the love onto was hard.  I love so many.  But here are my choices, those blogs and bloggers that have had an impact on me or to whom I feel a connection.

Walking Through - Nadia is so eloquent; she writes absolutely beautiful posts.  And her insight always puts things in perspective for me!

Magic and Mayhem - Alicia's blog is new to me, but I feel like I've met a kindred spirit.  She adds an intelligent spin to her posts that I love.

We Make Three - Myra writes some of the most heartfelt posts and was one of the first people to welcome me to the blogging world.  She's just wonderful.

One-Woman Show - Of course, I can't forget Susan.  She's my writing buddy, the first blogger friend I met in person.  And she's funny; her posts are so relatable!

ParentsCanada.com -  Lisa is a freelance writer who has been very generous in offering me advice.  Her site is packed full of great content and useful information for parents.

Ann Again...and Again - Doesn't everyone love Ann?  She's so friendly and honest in her posts.  She's also a hoot - she cracks me up!

There they are - the blogs I'm sharing the love with .  Go check them out, and tell them Mary sent you!

Check this out!  MomDot, an awesome online forum for moms that features bloggers and boutiques, noticed me in their Around the Town Blog Shoutout.  That's where they feature posts from around the blogosphere on their site.  And they picked one of mine!  It's the one about being a redhead.  They featured a bunch of other fun and interesting posts from other bloggers, too.  I feel great about being featured because starting my blog has brought so much into my life,  and this is another sign that I'm on the right track.  Thanks, MomDot!  And, thank you, to everyone who's stopped by regularly and left comments.  Connecting with others has truly helped me to begin working through my life transitions and to continue pursuing my goals.
