I am so excited to have been nominated for a Sunshine award by the oh-so-sweet Lori DiNardi! The Sunshine Award is given to a blogger that brings a ray of sunshine to their readers’ lives. I am so hopeful that I can do that for each and every one of you, and I thank you all for sticking with me and posting all of the lovely comments you make – they bring a ray of sunshine to my day! Here are some questions that go along with the Sunshine Award nomination.

My Passion: My family and cooking….and sharing stories and thoughts from both here on my blog :)

Found this great post on the Hip Paris Blog. It talks about why French women are different from us, and I plan on trying to be more French!

I’ve decided to have a Blog Feature once a month that focuses on one of my favorite blogs. Lingered Upon is one of those blogs. The author, Alice, takes the most beautiful photos, and uses film photography! I love film….I only wish that I had a dark room nearby! The photo above is from her store on etsy.com, Small Realities.
I hope that this new series of posts will help to expand your blog reading list! There are some absolutely wonderful and beautiful blogs out there, and I hope you visit them!
