Wow, so I really have to think... I think those are some big shoes to fill, and I am not quite sure I meet the requirements... So, I started blogging for a few reasons. First, I wanted have an outlet that was mine. Each of my days are filled taking care of everyone and somehow it seemed that I had lost sense of myself... I wanted something that was all mine, so Playing House was born. I also decided to blog because each day is filled with memories that I cherish and I want to remember them forever... Blogging provides me a space to do just that. One day, I will be able to look back at these special years... My blog is my personal outlet. It gives me a place to yell, laugh, cry, and share my life and my experiences. If I somehow touch one person with my words then I have more than exceeded all expectations........

I have been thinking and I want to give this award Rae Ann because she ALWAYS makes me laugh! Check her out. She is too funny! I am also giving this award to La Mom - an American mom in Paris I recently stumbled across this blog and I LOVE it. I look forward to reading her posts because they remind me of the chic lit books I love to get lost in...

Really I tag all of you in my blog roll, because I enjoy reading each of your blogs... I look forward to each new post!
