Oh I am so excited to be nominated my first ever blog
award. Joyful Mud Puddles has been
nominated for the Real Neat Blog Award.
I’d like to extend a huge thank you to Unschooling Mamma andPoppy for the nomination. I jut
love reading everything on their blog and have had the honour of writing a
guest post for them before too.
Rules/instructions:
- Put the award logo on your blog.
- Answer 7 questions asked by the person who nominated you.
- Thank the people who nominated you, linking to their blogs.
- Nominate any number of bloggers you like, linking to their blogs.
- Let them know you nominated them (by commenting on their blog etc.)
Now here are the blogs I am nominating for the Real Neat
Blog Award:
Answers to the questions I was asked:
Can I just say these questions are tough! It took me a long time to think up good
answers to these.
1
What is the one thing you would like for your
child/children to take from their childhood? Well I’m hoping they will take
away a lot of wonderful things from their childhood. If I could just pick one thing it would be curiosity. I know if they are allowed/encouraged
to be curious they will never stop learning. They will do amazing things in life because they are
motivated to keep going. I try my
best to say yes as often as I can and to help direct them to explore answers to
their questions.
2 If there was a playlist for your life what would
be the number one song? I am
totally not up on music these days.
I’d like to think it would be the song “10,000 Reasons" by Mat Redman
3 Why did you start blogging? Originally it was to remember all the
fun things I do with my children.
I don’t have time for scrapbooking and never look back at our digital
photos. I had stopped for a year
when my old blog got too full. My
father-in-law asked me to start blogging again so he could keep up on what we
are doing. So overall my blog is a
chronicle of our thoughts and journey as a family. I also try to encourage/inspire others who read it.
4 If you could be remembered for one thing what
would it be? I would like to be
remembered for my faith. I am
certainly not a famous evangelist or anything, but in my own life I will always
remember my grandmother for the strong faith she had. I'd like my life to be an example and reflection of what I believe.
5 What is your favourite movie? I think that I’ll
go with Shawshank Redemption. It is
one of those movie that I can watch over and see something new in it.
6 Name one thing that makes you smile? Watching my boys playing outside thoroughly
enjoying being kids, knowing that I am totally doing what I strongly believe to
be best for them at this stage on our lives! Every parent makes their own personal decision as to how to
raise their kids in a way that they feel is best. Right now I know that my boys belong outside in the dirt
rather than sitting behind a school desk.
7 What has been your biggest challenge as a
parent? Oh I have lots of challenges. This parenting thing is not always
easy. I think my biggest challenge
is not actually related to my kids specifically because I know we’ll get
through those issues as time goes on.
My biggest challenge is opening myself up to new ways of parenting, and
changing myself to be a better parent to my kids.
Okay so now here are the questions I have for the bloggers
I’ve nominated.
- What is a hobby or interest that you have?
- What is your favourite flower and why?
- If you could talk to your younger self, what advice would you give or would you liked to have received?
- What is the one thing you would like for your child/children to take from their childhood?
- Where is a place that you find peace (describe your happy place)?
- What do you hope to accomplish with your blog, and what do you want your readers to take away from your blog?
- What would you do if money were no object (say you won the lottery)?
I can't wait to read your responses!!
