I got an award! Otherwise known as a great reason for link love

My blogging pal Hilary over at Five Winds Family gave me a nice blogging award – the Sisterhood Award. Ah sisterhood and blogs – it doesn’t get much better than that.  Plus, really this gives me a chance to do a little link love. Yay.

The rules of the Sisterhood Award are…
1. Add the sisterhood logo to your blog or post.
2. Nominate at least 5 blogs which show great Attitude and/or Gratitude.
3. Link to your nominees in your post.
4. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received your award.

And my favorite blogging sister are …

Peggy from The Kitty Blog (among others). Shocking that I picked Peggy, I know, but I just can’t help myself. Not only is Peggy an amazing blogger who puts loads of extra thought and care into all her posts (I’m talking lots o’ research and questions folks) but she’s a great friend who like the random in life as much as me.

Linette from Mother Earth’s Garden (yes, among other blogs as well). You know why I’m picking Linette – ONE reason. I don’t think I’ve ever (EVER) heard this sister complain – honestly, not once. Do you realize how rare this trait is in a blogger?! She’s always upbeat, a great blogger, and so utterly nice. I should follow her example more.

Marye from Marriage Actually – here’s the thing, I don’t follow Marriage Actually all that much. I prefer many of Marye’s other blogs over this one. Not because Marriage Actually is a bad blog, but because for the last year, I’ve been a little frownish on couples in general. That said, because it’s Marye, I do pop over from time to time, and her writing at this particular blog is strikingly honest, generous, funny, and so real it sort of gets you in the gut.  Marye’s like that in general, but over there, she really puts it all out there, and that’s really something.

Sarah! Sarah is my actual sister – you know the kind by blood She’s not a hard core blogger, but she does have attitude, and her posts always make me laugh. Actually, some of her posts make me think too, but in my opinion Sarah is at her writing best when being funny.

Oh man, I got nothing. I’m drawing a blank on my 5th. I adore a lot of girl bloggers, so it’s hard. I’m opting out of 5. Sorry folks.

BUT how about a bonus sister: Technically, I likely would have nominated Hil, had she not got to me first, so you could head over there and read one of her posts too – I like her last post Small Weddings because it’s so darn sweet.
