Woo hoo! I won the Sweet Mom Award! Awwww, what a blessing — especially after my last post confession!
My dear friend Tardevil at Confessions of a 40-something Mama Queen just gave me this awesome award! For someone who prayed for years to be a Mommy, this is such a treat!
According to Tardevil: This award was originally passed on by “Wibeche” from ourdreams-wr and she is located in Norway. We’re passing around an international award! I don’t read Norwegian, but I’ve been told that it means:
“This is an award for being a wonderful Mom
You do fantastic work
Be proud of your accomplishments!”
Since most of my precious bloggy friends have EARNED this award, I want to present it to each of you! Thank you Tardevil! Enjoy this beautiful award my friends.
Hi! Congrats on the award. Being appreciated for our work as moms is wonderful, isn’t it?
I read over at Momstheword that you painted and cleaned your utility room. Good for you, especially the painting part. I hate painting, LOL! But it sure is nice when something is organized. Right now, I’m working on a corner of my kitchen, where I keep cutting boards and paper products. It’s sort of the ‘lost’ part of the kitchen, LOL! I’ll get it cleaned up today, and who knows what I will find.
Congrats on your award. I never seem that one before. Beth, I am starting a new blog and by all means stop and let me know what you think. Have a Blessed Day.
Congrats, you totally deserve it! love your blog!
Congrats on your new award!!!!!
You deserve it!
Beth, you so deserve this award!
We too often beat ourselves up for not being good enough as mothers. Kids learn that it is part of life not being perfect, especially parents. But more so, they learn and copy us how we cope with life’s challenges, that even though we might trip over some emotional landmines and live wires, they see that we press into God for answers, help, love and forgiveness …. rather than alcohol and drugs .. or even violence.
I think that is the biggest lesson we can give our kids: how to abandon ourselves into the grace and mercy of God and then move on to higher levels in Him and life.
Well done!
You deserve it, Beth! It doesn’t matter how you get there! ;O)
Beth – how sweet! What a wonderful award!
I think you are a great Mom for being so honest and transparent when so many Christians want the world to see something they are not on the inside! Being a white washed tomb is so unattractive! You are anything but – which makes me enjoy getting to know you that much MORE!
Love and hugs,
Jill
Congratulations on the award. I had to go back and read yesterday’s post and now thank you for your honesty. We are all just human after all. I don’t know what’s going on, maybe cabin fever, but I woke up feeling great yesterday, but have to mention my better half was not. Made for an uneasy day. Winter is a difficult time of year when you can’t get outside because of the cold. I mostly kept my mouth shut because there seemed to be no way to express what I wanted to say that did not make my husband more upset. Things are fine today:)
Congratulations, Beth!
You are very deserving of this award. It is obvious the love you have for little Sarah!
I haven’t seen this one floating around before…very fitting, my friend.
((hugs))

Hi Beth, I saw your blog at Southern Whimsey and wanted to come visit, since I see we are both from NC. I’m on the coast on the NC/SC border. You have a great blog! ~Rhonda 🙂
