Finally Someone Thinks I'm Stylish

I would like to extend a huge thank-you to Mama's Gotta Go who thinks my blog is Stylish and Awarded me the Stylish Blogger Award.  Yesterday was a great day, two awards in one day I feel so special.  I must say though it's a good think Mama's Gotta Go never met me while I was in College or she might have revoked this award (no one ever told me head to toe fleece is not stylish).  Please stop by Mama's Gotta Go and say Hi she too has a super stylish blog.



So in the tradition of passing this award on, I am passing this award to some blogs that I find to be very stylish and to which I really enjoy reading.  First off you should pass off the award to 10 or so blogs that you enjoy and link back to them as well as the person sending you the award.  Finally your readers 7 random things about yourself. Enjoy!

7 Random Things About Me:

1. Both my boys were late, they just did not want to come out.  Tavish on his own 9 days after his due date and Callen was ejected via pitocin 6 days after his due date.  I apparently make a comfy home.
2. I called Callen "Mr. Chicken Legs" because he had super long skinny legs just after he was born
3. I knew that I wanted to name my son Tavish when I was in high school, I'm just glad that Kyle went along with it

5. I miss the mountains and not the mountains around here don't count
6. I like snow but don't like the cold (and 32 degrees is not cold), I like to ski both downhill and cross-country and you can't do that without snow
7. I'm addicted to baby carriers - I'm not super bad but it could get that way if I'm not careful
