Smile Award

Tiffanie over at http://blessedwithsweetpeas.blogspot.com/ posted that I deserve the Smile Award. Although I haven't been smiling much lately the fact that someone actually thinks I deserve any kind of award did make me smile and has given a little lift to my otherwise very distressing day. Thank you so much Tiff!!!

I wish I could award the smile award to Tiffanie because she is honestly one of the most supportive, thoughtful and kind people I have ever "met" online or in real life! However, I suppose I'm supposed to choose other people. I am not very good at linking things so if I don't actually link anything like I'm supposed to please excuse me.

Everyone I picked to get a smile award meets all of the characteristics. I wish I had more time to expand but I will quickly say one or two things about each mommy~
