My nominees are........
(Seriously?... Only 5? This is gonna be difficult!)

Tutus & Tea Parties (Because Lauren is awesome! I love her blog and                                                      she taught me the term "blog stalking", which made me laugh, because I was already blog stalking her!)

Worst Mom Ever (Because Patricia is really one of the best moms ever, and I love reading her blog!)

The Nerdy Farm Wife (Because Jan is the coolest "nerd" there is! When I grow up, I want to be like her... yes... I know I am older than she is... but still!)

Simply Real Moms (Because Jasmine, Erin, and Marcie work so hard to share awesome advice and ideas for moms everywhere!)

My Merry Messy Life  (Because Sara shares some awesome green living tips and beautiful crochet patterns, among other things!

Now for 7 random things about myself....

1. I love football... particularly the 49ers. During football season, I will plan my Sundays around watching the games! 
2. I have a slight cookie obsession. I love to bake them as much as I love to eat them.
3. I haven't pumped gas in over 22 years. My husband always makes the trip to the gas station. 
4. I have a fascination for old trucks, and I aspire to buy one and learn to fix it up myself.
5. I like a lot of different kinds of music (not rap or hip hop... I said music. lol) I particularly love The Traveling Wilburys!
6. I have some "Mama Bear" in me. I just don't play well with those who don't treat my kids right.
7. I am really, really good at procrastinating. There have been a few Christmases when we didn't do our shopping until a few days before!

Seven Things About Me:

1. I feel very lucky to be able to be a homeschooling, SAHM of 6. I love the lifestyle we chose, and I can't imagine doing it any other way.
2. I like to build things/put things together. Whenever we have furniture that needs assembling or shelves to hang, I get to do it! One of these days, I hope to learn to build an outdoor brick bbq pit.
3. I like listening to music. The Traveling Wilburys is one of my favorite groups. I can listen to their CDs over and over without getting tired of it. (I'm listening to one right now.)
4. I have a sweet tooth. Not a normal sweet tooth... I mean a SWEET TOOTH. 
5. I love to bake. Cookies, cakes, breads, rolls, just about anything.
6. I can't draw. Really. It's bad. My 5 year old draws better than I do.
7. I don't like shoe shopping. If I had to choose comfort or style, comfort will win every time. Well, if I had a special event, I'd go for style, but they would still have to be comfortable... but that would mean the shoe shopping would take longer. *sigh
