I was thrilled to receive a sweet comment from Cindy

Cindy is the author of an amazing kindergarten blog called:

Each time I visit her blog, I feel as though I am walking right through her classroom!  I love how she shows her week in pictures!  She shares amazing ideas and materials. If you haven't checked out her blog, I recommend you do so!  

Thank you Cindy!  It is such an honor to receive this from you!

I wanted to take the time to honor two specific authors who continue to make me smile almost every time I post something by leaving sweet, encouraging comments!

Thank you to

All of the comments and feedback you provide are so important and I thank each of you! 

I love checking my comments to find things from a simple "Thank You" to more detailed comments.  They all mean so much.

A Scare and Versatile Blogger

Well this post is long overdue.  I was hoping to complete it last night, but unfortunately my German Shorthaired Pointer started to bloat so I was busy trying to keep her calm and get her to sleep. This came on suddenly (as it usually does, we were just sitting on the couch snuggling after my little one went to bed and she started the symptoms). Although she has undergone surgery and her stomach is tacked, it does not completely eliminate the gases from entering her stomach. It scares me each and every time it happens, but I am happy to say she is doing fine and is snuggling with me again now!

Here is a picture of my Saydie.

Anyhoo the point of this post is I really want to take the time to thank two wonderful authors who honored me with the Versatile Blogger Award!
