I have been awarded The Sunshine Award (Times Four)!!!!!

I am completely and utterly thankful from the bottom of my heart to the four fabulous bloggers that have nominated little 'ol me for the Sunshine Award! The Bloggers that have awarded The Sunshine Award to me are: Sarah from My Imperfect Kitchen, Debi from Recipes For My Boys, Nel Marie from The PaperCup Kitchen and Stephanie from It's Not Just About The Recipe! The Sunshine Award is an award given by bloggers to other bloggers. Recipients of the Sunshine Award are: “Bloggers who positively and creatively inspire others in the blog world.” I love to hear that I am thought of as inspiring to other bloggers!
Sarah from My Imperfect Kitchen

Sarah is a wonderful writer and incredible Food Blogger. Living in California, she has a conscious way about eating and food blogging. She loves to cook anything, but her favorite is creating desserts. I am lucky to have Sarah as my Foodie friend!



Debi from Recipes For My Boys

Debi is one of my BFF's, Best Foodie Friend's! Debi is an incredible mother of three precious boys. She makes family friendly recipes that her sons are so lucky to try and love! She is a huge animal lover and has a kind and gentle heart. She loves the same groovy music as I do and has a fabulous sense of humor, she makes me laugh on a daily basis!


Nel  from The Paper Cup Kitchen

Nel is one of the first bloggers that I met when starting my food blog, always loving and supportive. Nel refers to her Food Blog as, " Everything related to things in and around the house of a busy Mama", and she is one busy Mama! She and her hubs have two gorgeous children and are currently living in the UK. She started The Paper Cup Kitchen while living in Moscow, this was a wonderful outlet for Nel since she didn't know many people then. She has made so many Foodie Friends through PCK. Her true love, besides her hubs, is cake baking and decorating. It took her a while to figure this out, but it was worth the wait, because Nel is a very talented baker and decorator!




Stephanie from It's Not Just About A Recipe


Stephanie writes a very enjoyable and informative food blog. Stephanie enjoys cooking and baking and is not afraid of taking on a challenging, "Do It Yourself Project". Stephanie prefers homeschooling her three children, one of which is still at home. In her blog, she comes through as an incredible teacher and as a talented and creative writer. Stephanie is actually taking a very needed vacation break from the food world, but you will see her again in August when she will have so much to teach us.

Please go visit my friends and fabulous foodie's, you will be so happy you dd!
