Good morning, friends! I am catching up on my tags today π. Sorry for the delay.
I want to thank Lydia of In His Service and Loving It for nominating me to receive the Versatile Blogger Award. Lydia is kind, abundantly talented, and 17!! She writes wise beyond her years, and I know you will love her. So if you haven’t already met her, head on over and show her some love.
The Award:
βWhen you consider nominating a fellow blogger for the Versatile Blogger Award, consider the quality of the writing, the uniqueness of the subjects covered, the level of love displayed in the words on the virtual page. Or, of course, the quality of the photographs and the level of love displayed in the taking of them.β
Thank you for seeing this in me, Lydia β€οΈ.
The Rules:
Thank the person who nominated you.
Link to the blog of the person who nominated you.
Share 7 facts about yourself.

7 Facts About Me:
- Nothing restores me quite like nature. πΏ
- My 3-year-old and I watch cake videos on Instagram almost every day. π§
- We live about 40 minutes away from either set of grandparents, and we love being close. There is no place like Grandma’s house. β€οΈ
- I can’t garden. I have whatever the opposite is of a green thumb. π₯
- We are getting a dog for Christmas, and the kids don’t know! π€«
- My most-needed type of rest is Sensory rest. I get truly grumpy without it. π΅
- My favorite radio station is KLUV (Christian Rock), and not just on Sunday. I love to listen to how people portray their faith. ποΈ

Congratulations Jenny! Thank you for giving me a shout out, you’re truly an amazing person.
I am a fellow black thumb with gardening too. What kind of dog will you get? So exciting for the kids!
In response to your nomination, seven facts about me are:
1. I love baking cakes, biscuits, cookies etc, but I’m not a sweet tooth.
2. I’ve started a herb and veggie garden for the kids. I’m praying my black thumb turns green.
3. Ever since my car accident, I’ve become a nervous and overly cautious driver.
4. I’m a tidy freak. I like things ordered but not necessarily clean.
5. I love romance as a genre for everything – books, movies…
6. I love volunteering as a teacher’s aide at the neighbourhood community centre for disability and disadvantaged people.
7. At 37 years old, I’m still finding myself.
Just a little bit of info on me. Love getting to know you, Jenny!

Wow, thank you so much for the fun read! How fun to volunteer at your community center β€οΈ. I feel like I am still finding myself too. Perhaps it will be a lifelong journey…
A black thumb! Yes! That’s what it is π. Good luck with your herb and veggie garden. They are so useful when we can swing ’em π. We would love a husky/shepard/collie/healer or mix of any of the above. But whatever we can find.
