I have had the great honor of receiving this fabulous little award *twice* in the past couple of days (one from <a href=\"http:\/\/mamarazilife.blogspot.com\/2008\/05\/you-made-my-day.html\">KT<\/a> and one from <a href=\"http:\/\/totallybananas.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/04\/friends-in-my-computer\/\">Shanna<\/a>, who both totally made my day with their posts.)  I am positively giddy, and determined to have the same effect on someone else now.<\/p>\n<p>So, here are the three blogs on which I wish to bestow this lovely badge of honor:<\/p>\n<p>Amy @ <a href=\"http:\/\/momoftwoprincesses.blogspot.com\/\">Mom of Two Princesses<\/a>.  Amy makes my day several times a week with her faithful comment love.  Reading blogs can quickly become a very time-consuming activity, but Amy always seems to make time to send me out sweet little encouragements.   Naturally, I feel a connection with her girly household, and I always enjoy catching up on the happenings of her two sweet girls, Emily and Olivia, but I probably don&#8217;t tell her that enough!  Thank you so much!<\/p>\n<p>Amanda @ <a href=\"http:\/\/ohamanda.com\/\">Oh Amanda<\/a>.  As far as I&#8217;m concerned, Amanda is the superstar of the blogosphere, so I decided after much swithering that I didn&#8217;t even care that someone else had already given her this award.  I&#8217;m giving it to her again.  She was one of the original bloggers from way back before the Doodlemama bloggy explosion of 2008.  I daresay she had a hand in inspiring it.  She certainly inspires me.  Amanda loves the Lord and is a fantastic mom.  Not to mention her blog is a blast!  She makes us do crazy things like <a href=\"http:\/\/ohamanda.com\/?p=561\">kiss our computers<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/ohamanda.com\/?p=652\">swap babies<\/a> (not really, don&#8217;t panic!).  Her creativity and superb writing style give me something to strive for in my blogging.  Thanks, friend!<\/p>\n<p>Trevor @ <a href=\"http:\/\/theyoungpages.com\/trevsblog\/\">TheYoungPages<\/a>.  Yeah.  He&#8217;s my husband.  Is that cheesy?  His blog really does make my day, though, when he posts.  He seems to have lost his <em>joie de blog<\/em> a little bit lately, but when he finds it again, he will make me smile and smile.  I learn a lot about him from his blog that just doesn&#8217;t seem to come up in day to day conversation.  This blogging thing has really been a blessing to our marriage, and helped us learn more about what makes the other tick.   Thanks so much for sticking at it, sweetie.  I <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">love<\/span> respect you.  (More on that little inside joke to follow, at some point.)<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it.  Three people who make my day.  There are so many more, but these three are especially close to my heart, and I want them to know how much they are appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is so much love swirling around in cyberspace right now, can you feel it?
