Awards Day... kindof.

Maybe not on T.V.
But here on Sweet Tea in Sicily, it's Awards Day!

The wonderful Miss Donna at Lip Gloss & Flip Flops nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award! Thanks so much, Donna! I started this blog as a class project and continued it for fun (bored stay at home wifey)... never thinking that it would grow the way it has! I never in my life imagined that people would actually enjoy reading about my adventures and rambling stories. Once again, thank you Donna for nominating me for this award :)

So here are the rules of the VBA:
1. Nominate 15 fellow bloggers.
2. Inform the bloggers of their nominations.
3. Share 7 random facts about yourself.
4. Thank the blogger who nominated you.
5. Add the VBA Button to your post.


Here are my nominees:
But because I'm being rebellious (what can I say... I am my father's daughter) I'm choosing my TOP 5 FAVORITE blogs that I can't get enough of right now and giving you some info. on them so that you can go check out some AMAZING ladies' blogs! :) :) 
(you should REALLY check them out)

This lovely lady is one of my bloggy bffs. She is absolutely hilarious and fills her blog full of her life. She's as honest as they come and will tell you exactly what it's like to be funny, smart, and blonde. I suggest you head on over and check her out... you wont be disappointed.

2. Jenn @ Bliss to Bean
The amazing Jenn is another one of my favorite bloggy friends. When we're not tweeting about vino, I'm stalking her blog for her AMAZING recipes. Jenn is absolutely beautiful with a heart of gold and an amazing knack for fashion and cooking. If you are into any of that, please go check out her blog immediately. You'll love it!

This is a new read for me but I've already "blog-stalked" her so hard, I feel like we're bloggy-soulmates... haha! Literally, both of our 2011's were very alike! If you are a reader of my blog and enjoy it, then I REALLY think you'll love Moo and her blog! Check her & her Snookums out... they're adorable and also living a crazy adventurous Military life!

Another pretty Military wifey... and also another very new read for me! I absolutely love her writing style and her story. I've fallen in love with her blog and reading all her HILARIOUS posts. If you enjoy reading funny stories, she's your gal. And she has the cutest little brothers to keep her company (and to keep her laughing) while her hubby is away! 

5. Anna @ Owls & Lace
If I didn't love owls and lace before, this girl could totally change my mind... could she GET any cuter? Seriously. She blogs about anything from crafting to her job to daily life as a 20 year old college student... and I basically can't get enough! Go check her out... you can thank me later. 

7 Random Facts about Me:

1. I can't ever find clothes that fit me. I love to shop but I tend to come home empty handed because of my height/size. Boo!

2. I hate the feeling of being controlled. My life, my rules ;)

3. I already get really freaked out/excited about the idea of having a baby... and it's not happening anytime soon if I have anything to do with it!

4. I'm extremely nosey.... EXTREMELY. hehe

5. I worry a lot... but since getting married I try to let things roll off my back. And I've been doing much better with this :) Much more carefree and less anxious!

6. I am my father's daughter... You're thinking DUH! But I mean, I get most of my likes/dislikes from him... I love Jack&Cokes, Toyotas, target shooting, video games, riding with the windows down, wearing my hats backwards, and I think I'm a Princess... all because of my dear ole Dad! :)

7. I am the queen of procrastination and last minute essays... I do my best work under pressure!


Okie dokie, ladies... there ya have it! My Top 5 Blogs... Go check 'em out and show 'em some love! Oh and tell them that I sent you :)

Ciao Bellas!
xoxo

  1. Congrats on the award, lady!! That's awesome :) Well deserved, too!!

    V says that I'm the nosey old lady next door...hahah...I always see who is doing what in our little part of the world ;)

    I can never find anything to wear, either. I HATE IT. I'm tall and fairly petite. So finding pants is a NIGHTMARE.

    Happy weekend :)

  3. Thank you so much! Funny that you wrote that we're bloggy bffs, cause I already have my sponsor post typed and ready to post and I wrote THE same thing about you! ha ha. BBFs (blogger best friends) ha ha
    I worry all the time--I even used to have ulcers because of that. haha
    I didn't think it was possible that there was someone more nosey than I am.
    BBF soulmates, I tell you! ha ha
