Beautiful Blog Award

So my BFF, Genny, nominated me for a Beautiful Blogger Award.

Here it is:


I really don't think my blog is anything to write home about. There are SO many fantastic blogs out there. I wish I had the time to make mine more eye catching and fascinating, BUT... it is what it is. Maybe she just thinks I'm a beautiful person? haha!

To be honest, I really don't enjoying blogging like I used to. It's more work than fun. I think I just do it for my journaling of the kids, and for my grandparents. They love it and read it daily. So... Gramma Enlow, and Grandma and Grandpa Olha... I DO IT FOR YOU!

Moving on...

With accepting this beautiful blog award I am supposed to post 7 random facts about me. This is a hard one. I have so many more facts I'd like to share, but I think I may bore you. I'll will try my best to keep it at seven!

1. I'm rarely in bed before midnight. Once the the kids are asleep, I clean, do dishes, laundry, if Jason's home I go out shopping quite frequently (I love this alone time with no children!), and I watch all my recorded shows. By the time I'm finished it's usually midnight. Then up at 6:00 am with kids. But I'm rarely tired. Glad for that, I guess.

2. I have a love/hate relationship with the grocery store. I hate grocery shopping, but I love getting out of the house alone to do it!

3. If I am home alone at night while brushing my teeth, I always think someone may be behind me. So I wave my arms and kick my leg out behind me to make sure no one is there.

4. I can't stand chipped nail polish! On toes and finger nails! Not even one little chip!

5. I seriously thought I would be better off dead the day I found out I was having twins. Really, I'm not joking. I was devastated. (Don't worry, I THINK I've recovered).

I mean, who wouldn't be afraid of this?



6. I love making my bed! I can't stand walking into my room and seeing the bed not made. And I cannot go to sleep in a mess of sheets. It is always made right when I wake up... unless Jason is still in it.


7. I love watches! I buy them frequently. Well, not so frequent now that I have 3 children that require a lot of STUFF, but I love them. I wear a watch every single day. And BIG ones. I usually buy men's watches.



8. I'm adding one more since I went upstairs and took the picture of my bed. I noticed this:


Since having kids, it takes me about a week to unpack a suitcase from any trip. This is my suitcase since returning home from Las Vegas on Saturday night. It was only a 1-night trip. But it will probably remain sitting here like this until the weekend.

So there you have. A few facts about me. Thank you Genny for giving me this award! You're the best!

Hi Kelly,
Great post... I also loved number 3. I think you have a darling blog. Your kids are so so cute and you have such a great sense of humor. Keep up the blogging... we blog stalkers would be sad if you didn't :)

Yeah...I like reading about your life, too. It's not just for the grandparents. We all benefit.

I cannot comprehend how you stay up 'til midnight so regularly. I am so exhausted by the time my kids go to bed. I frequently fall asleep on the couch.

I like the way watches look, too. I'd love a collection. Do you have any you can send my way?

I wish I were more like you on the bed thing. I hate the way it looks unmade, so I just stay out of my room.

PS...I have the same luggage.

Okay, now I feel horrible that I hate making my bed, almost everyone commented on my post that they love it :( I do love crisp clean sheets, I just have to decided what is most important that day and it's normally downstairs!
I was laughing about the teeth brushing, ha!

Genn said...

Congratulations on this beautiful award! It is because your blog is beautiful and so are you! :)

Okay, for number 3... don't you mean when you are washing your face? Because I know that about you. But while you are brushing your teeth? :)

Midnight every night? Really? I usually am in bed about 10:30. Sometimes 11, but midnight just seems so late.

I hate the way my bed looks unmade too. It starts my day off feeling messy if I don't make it.

Cute picture of the twins!

Your bed looks pretty.

Love that watch!

I am the same way coming home and unpacking now that we have kids.

Can't wait til Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was seriously DYING laughing when I read #3. Who are you? :) I too HAVE TO HAVE my bed made. Even if I just washed the sheets and I'm making the bed just to go to sleep in a matter of minutes.
