sunshine award nominations

It’s taken me a bit longer than I had hoped, but I am super excited to share the Sunshine Award with 10 amazing bloggers. I had so much fun visiting the bloggers that visited me for my SITS day. The comments were great and put me on cloud nine all week!

Even though I only picked 10 to highlight, I want you to know that I think you are all extremely talented and wonderful. So without further ado, thanks to these wonderful bloggers for inspiring me this week.

• Never a Dull Date – I LOVE the idea behind this blog. My husband and I often struggle with coming up with date ideas so I am really looking forward to what Ashley and Adam have up their sleeves.
• Airing My Dirty Laundry One Sock at a Time – Don’t you just love that title?! Plus, she got a great sense of humor in her writing too.
• Incredibly Fierce – A girl after my own heart with a desire to lead a minimalist lifestyle, Tiffany’s all about adventure. In her words it’s all about “living boldly [and] following your dreams.” Well said!
• Bronx 2 Boulder – A local blogger in Boulder. Melanie writes about her life as a SAHM and her family’s transition to a new lifestyle outside of the big city.
• Parenting is a Big Deal – Not one, but two local Boulder girls! Maybe I should set up a coffee date? This cute blog was started when she became a mom and learned that being a parent really is a big deal.
• kreyv – Beautiful blog full of design inspiration. My eyes are in heaven looking at all of the fabulous stuff Jaime shares on kreyv (or “to crave” – yep, pretty perfect name).
• Decoy Betty – Deidre is an American writing about her life in Australia. She has a great writing style and pulled me in with one of her recent posts about popcorn. What can I say, I love popcorn too although I’ve never had it with Brewer’s yeast. Maybe I should give it a try.
• Love, Life, Surf – Christine is a down-to-earth mom of two from Brooklyn. She blogs about her life and her recent discovery of surfing. I loved her June challenge of having a green smoothy everyday. Sounds like a great way to modify my juice fast into everyday life.
• Michelle Mossey – Reading Michelle’s most recent post had me both horrified and laughing out loud (thankfully I was home alone so no one thought I was crazy). Check it out. I don’t have any children yet so I have not been through childbirth, but yikes(!) I can totally see why she wanted to axe kick her doctor in the face.
• Itsy Bitsy Brianna – Brianna reached out to me when she came across our DIY couch. Turns out it was just what she was looking for. She and her dad recently completed a project similar to our couch and it’s beautiful! I am amazed at her work and am humbled and honored that I could help her with her beautiful living space. You rocked it!

I would love for you to continue this and share the nomination with 10 other bloggers. It will make their day and everyone loves that!
