Well gee thanks!

If you've been spending time in the blogosphere, you might have noticed that the Stylish Blogger Award has been popping up on a lot of blogs lately. If you haven't been spending any time in the blogosphere, well, the Stylish Blogger Award is making its rounds. Essentially, the award is a chain-letter sort of deals which allows other bloggers to give some kudos to some of their favorite blogs.

Yesterday I catching up on the blogs I follow and was tickled pink to find that I'd been awarded the Stylish Blogger Award over at Narragansett No. 7. I was going to go all Midwestern and say something to the effect of "What? This little blog? Oh gosh, well it was nothing." Instead, I'll just say thanks so much for the shout-out! I'm glad you're enjoying the posts.And by the by, if you haven't stumbled upon Narragansett No. 7 yet, it's a fun mix of posts about life with three small children and some interesting fictional posts as well. Definitely worth checking out.

The award comes with some strict rules:
