Okay, I need to make a BIG apology. I am very guilty of delaying in passing out awards, very delayed. Please forgive me. I have been trying to visit as many sites as possible, and reading - as reading is what brought me here and everyone has amazing reviews to share and amazing books to buy.
I will try to get a few awards passed out each week to get them all passed out. If you have already received one of these, I am sorry to pass it on to you again. But, I have to say thank you to all my followers!
So, here we go with a few for now...

Thanks for the award, Melissa! And I agree with you on #3 and #8. When my four year-old laughs, I just love it. And a book in the mail makes almost any day better!

I like anything grilled esp over Kiawe wood- I am not sure of the english word for the wood!
Hey!! We must be cut from the same clothe because we have similar happies (is that a word?). I wish I had a son and hopefully I will be blessed with several in the future but I do feel the same about my daughters when they dance hula. Soon my 5 yo will be playing basketball and I so excited!
You know those parents who are at every game or performance.... ME ME ME!!!
