The Sunshine Award


Happy sunshiny Friday! I am just so happy because today, one of my favorite mommy-bloggers just passed on a Sunshine Award to me! I first met Toni of Wifely Steps in the Blog Inspired workshop few months ago and since then I was hooked to the coziness of her blog. Yes, that's how I feel every time I visit her page. It's like I am at home, listening to the sound of the rain outside while sipping a cup of hot chocolate. 

Thank you so much for tagging me Toni! :)

  For the Sunshine Award, the blogger must: 
1) Acknowledge the nominating blogger.
2) Share 11 random facts.
3) Answer 11 questions the nominating blogger has created for you.
4) List 11 bloggers to recommend. They should be bloggers you believe deserve some recognition and a little blogging love!
5) Post 11 questions for the bloggers you nominate, answer & let all the bloggers know they've been nominated. You cannot nominate the blogger that nominated you.
Cool, ayt? Now ready? Let's go!
