It has been an interesting few days around here of trying decide about our move back to NC. I was hoping the move wouldn’t be this fast as we had plans for May, but it is what it is… and we can always make new plans.

This is the last few months before my daughter starts kindy in August, and I am going to make it special for her so she will have memories of a lifetime. I cannot believe she has grown so fast. She definitely has my heart wrapped around her heart. It warms my heart as well to see her micmic me. She loves to put make-up on as I do, and yesterday she wanted me to straighten her hair like I do mine. Just take a look at my beautiful daughter. This is definitely what I dreamed of being a mom and is what life is all about with my daughter’s.

Last night while I was doing some work for clients here in my office, she surprised me once again with the love she has for her sister with this drawing. Is it not the cutest? I will hold onto this image forever.

Just to show you what kind of heart Madisyn has for her sister Lyndsee… yesterday we were out running errands and the humidity and heat was some kind of crazy down here in Florida yesterday. We were getting out of the van and Madisyn saw Lyndsee having problems breathing and she was sweating. While I was tending to Lyndsee, Madisyn immediately ran into the house, grabbed a washcloth, wet it and ran to Lyndsee to put it on her forehead and head. I have never told her to do this, and I just starting getting tears in my eyes when I seen what Madisyn had done.

This is what life is all about and it tells me I must be doing something right as a mom .

While I have your attention as well…I have been reading Amy’s blog for just a bit, but it is definitely one of my fun daily reads. She also is a NC gal too Pretty cool huh? Anyways she presented me with an award this week and it just made my day and put a huge smile across my face. It is the “I Love Your Blog To Pieces”

Thank you for the honor Amy and I’m so glad I have you as a reader here. Now I would like to present this award to four more people who I enjoy their blog very much so and so glad to have you a part of my daily reads.

Well aren't you just self-centered Jen? HA! Just joking. I have been given two awards over the last couple weeks and it has really touched me ALOT.  You know going through this journey of motherhood is so awesome but it makes it even better if you have fellow mommies to take that journey with you.

My bestest bud Nell Taliercio over at CasualFridayEveryday.com gave me the Rocking Blogger Award.

We first met back in 2003 and then lost touch and crossed paths back in early 2005 again and have became such great best buds. We have been there for each other and just last night when I was having a bad night, Nell was there once again to give me positive words. I appreciate her and adore our friendship greatly! So thank you very much for honoring me Nell with this award.

Now another mommy blogger that I have got to know really good over past month is Val over at Purple Valley. This wonderful mommy does beautiful work with photography. I can't wait till she comes to Disney so she can do a photoshoot of my girlies . She has awarded me the Nice Award:

Nice makes the world so much happier and it warms my heart knowing all of us mommy bloggers are doing just that! You rock and are nice too VAL . Definitely a positive influence on the blogging world
