Thinking Thursdays: Best Blog Award

Just yesterday, Denesa of the Parent Times blog contacted me to let me know that she was presenting me with this "Best Blog Award", and I must say it was a pleasant surprise!  Thanks Denesa, I've enjoyed reading your blog too! :)

So anyway, the rules for accepting the award are as follows:
1. To accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his/her blog link.
2. Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you have recently discovered and think are great!  Remember to contact the bloggers you've awarded to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

So of course, I'm off to spread the love, and these are the blogs I think are simply fantastic (in alphabetical order):

Becoming Mom: Ariana's mother to little Jasper and her photography skills are wow!  You should see the photos she takes of children and families...

Chez Larsson: This is the blog I go to if I need inspiration for organizing my home and dabbling in DIY, cos Benita simply rocks at keeping her home extremely organized and neat!

Childhood 101: Christie's blog won Asia-Pacific Blog Awards' Best Parenting Blog award this year.  Enough said!

Design Mom: 5 kids, with another on the way... Gabrielle blogs about design and motherhood!

Growing Up Creative: Tali, mother of two, shares various creative things you could do at home, and I can't wait to have time to do some of those things!

Let's Explore: Amy's blog is a treasure trove of stuff you could do with your kids...

Maya*made: Maya's blog is chok-full of craft projects.  My fingers are always itching to do those projects when I visit her blog!

Our Everyday Things: Leonny blogs about life with her two kids, shares lots of tips, and takes really great photographs!

SouleMama: Amanda's mother to 4 children and manages to write books, craft and blog while homeschooling her kids. I'm impressed, and hooked on reading her posts, and her photos always make me feel happy!

The Light Garden: I've always looked forward to Verity's "Making Mondays" posts where she blogs about crafts, many of which are done with her son, Yashar.  She also blogs about living in Istanbul, Turkey...

(I've just realised that I've been using alot of exclamation marks ! in this post.  Sorry, am just too excited to share about my favourite blogs I guess... Happy reading!)
