I feel very undeserving of an award given that I have been a terribly absent blogger of late !!! But of course I accept it wholeheartedly :) I was finally catching up on comments and posts from my fellow bloggers and saw that the lovely Moerks had nominated me....how fabulous and kind !!! such a nice surprise (sorry I'm soooo late in noticing).
By the looks of things I need to list 10 things that make me happy, so here goes....
1. My Daughter and all her new little expressions and tricks (currently she has learnt to use my lipgloss to paint her toenails and I have no idea how given I never ever paint my toenails) :)
2. My husband, he is my wonderful :)
3. All the rest of my family, never a dull moment (seriously if I had a permanent video camera and no concern for privacy we could have made millions on reality tv!! pure entertainment)
4. My friends - so loyal and so lovely.
5. The surgeons, anaethetists and nurses at Waikato hospital for keeping my Dad around for the last 20 years (and many more to come), such angels!
6. Mint icecream.
7. The big bang theory (TV programme that I strangely happen to adore).
8. A clean kitchen.
9. Going out for Sunday breakfast.
10. And the rarest of the rare................................... a sleep in :)
Thanks again to the Moerks! I would definitely pass this award onto you if you had not already given it to me :) I'm not sure there are many blogs I follow that are left to pass this on to as I am so terribly late in getting organised !!! here are some of my fave bloggers and if you have already received the award just ignore it but please know I appreciate you all....
Rachael at A Room For Everyone
Kerri at Driftwood Interiors
Kerry at A Tranquil Townhouse
Karyn at Hope Island Home and Living
Mrs C at Building the Dream in Ireland
I have also noticed I have a few new followers, so I would love the opportunity to visit the blogs of my new followers and I'll be sure to pass this award on further very shortly :)
I have to ask that you bear with my sporadic posts for a few more weeks as I have a tonne on my plate. I'm looking forward to a bit of calm in a few weeks so I can blog till my heart is content, and catch up with everyone. I have such a backlog of ideas at the moment, just no time !!
:)
Hi Olivia, thanks so much for the award...it was very kind of you to think of me and in such good company. Hope things calm down for you soon :)
ReplyDeleteHI Olivia - I'm a fellow Kiwi blogger - an Australian in Auckland really so almost a kiwi... Rachael at A Room for Everyone pointed me in your direction a while ago - we must have started blogging at about the same time... hope all calms down in your life! x
ReplyDeleteOf course you are very deserving of this award. Sporadic or not your posts are always a delight.Happy to have been able to pass it on.
ReplyDeleteOlivia , thankyou for the award , it gives me a little thrill to be mentioned on your blog , I always enjoy your posts & have missed them. But it is totally understandable & I hope your life returns to harmony real soon.
