I don’t know where the time has gone lately. And if you’re like me, you probably wish you had more of it — especially this time of the year! I have been consumed with several big projects at work, my family and everything that goes along with being a mom and wife, passionately baking up a storm and wholeheartedly enjoying the craziness of the holidays! But that being said, I would like to take a moment to recognize two amazing bloggers who generously passed along some awards to me.
A big grateful thank you to Elamb from Food Daydreaming for the Blog of the Year 2013 Award. I really enjoy reading this bloggers intriguing recipes and one day I hope to try her Sweet Potato and Goat’s Cheese Pizza. This is a delicious sounding combination and in my book, pizza is one of those perfect foods to daydream about! I was also able to add my second star to the Blog of the Year 2013 Award, thanks to the always generous Jhuls from The Not So Creative Cook. Jhuls is passionate about food, photography and books and her blog echos her love of these. Her Crazy for Coconut Pie sounds so yummy — it’s definitely on my list to make for my coconut-loving husband! If you have not done so already, be sure to check out their unique and fun food blogs!
As well, a big double thank you goes to Jhuls from The Not So Creative Cook for the Versatile Blogger Award, I really appreciate your kindness in giving me this award and for being so supportive to my blog. Again, Jhuls has a wonderful and creative blog, and reading her stories and recipes always puts a smile on my face.
Here are a few of my favorite blogs that I have awarded both the Blog of the Year 2013 Award and the Versatile Blogger Award:

Thank you so much for the kind words and for the mention. I am glad you enjoy reading my stories. 😀 I agree with you about ‘more time’. As they say – so much to do, so little time. No matter how hard you stretch or arrange your schedule in good order, time keeps leaving you with so much work to do. (Sigh!) Anyway, a BIG congratulations and have a prosperous and blessed new year! xx
