Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your applause, you are too kind. Please take your seats.
First of all, I am truly honored of this prestigious award being bestowed upon me. I cannot thank you enough Thrifty Crafty Girl , you are a very special person. You were the first to make my day, that very memorable day when you became the very first to follow my little blog. You took the time and helped me out with my inadequate blogger skills and took the time to walk me through the steps. For that I am forever thankful.
Secondly, I'd like to thank my hard working husband for allowing me to be a stay at home mom and enjoy this time with our kids before our little ones start their school years. This year has been the best ever.
I would also like to thank....**Insert speech cutoff music and handsome looking model escorting me off the stage.**

Here are my awesome seven random facts about myself.
1) I am a shopaholic. If I could, I'd be out there shopping EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. No joke. I think I may have a problem...total joke. I have learned to control myself....somewhat.
2) I don't like paying full price for anything, unless its groceries and necessities...I suck at using coupons. (Doesn't make sense, I know.) I shop thrift stores, clearance racks, yard sales and Craigslist for everything else.
3) I LOVE SHOES!! I currently have approximately 63 pairs (see, total shopaholic...but I never paid full price. ha-ha!). I am down from 88 pairs, I had to purge when we moved last year. I will share that with you some day.

4) I am bilingual. Sí, hablo español! I speak Spanish fluently. My husband speaks three languages...that smarty pants.
5) I love chocolate. We always have chocolate in our home. If I crave it and don't have a candy bar handy, I will melt milk chocolate morsels and drizzle it on almonds or any fruit we have in the kitchen just to get my fix. We often make chocolate covered strawberries in our home. I can whip those babies up in less than 10 minutes.
6) I used to not like football, my husband loved it, so I learned about it so we could have something else in common and now I LOVE it! I even have my own Fantasy Football Team now. I've come a looong way.
7) I am a HUGE Green Bay Packers fan (don't judge me). I am that crazy fan decked out in team gear with green extensions in her hair, face painted and yelling at the top of her lungs. We watch EVERY game and go to as many games as we can. (This is not me but I'm not guaranteeing that I will not evolve into that.)
8) I am not blogging as often as I'd like. My two little ones start school
in the fall and I want to enjoy as much time with them as I can. It's a
privilege to be able to stay at home with them. One is going into
Pre-K and the other is going into Kindergarten. I will be having a
breakdown when that time comes.
Yes, I know I was only supposed to have 7 but I couldn't resist sharing my awesome self with you. ha ha!

I know it said to 15 blogs (I apologize to you other 10 bloggers) but it's the day before my birthday and I have to clean my house before any unexpected guests drop by.
I've got clean laundry on my kitchen table to fold, floors to clean and I need to make our house guest-worthy. Although, I'm really craving a nap right now.
