Cherry on Top Blog Award!

So I won this award on December 8th, and again yesterday, December 14th. It is so refreshing to know people like my blog enough to give it an award. It is very surprising to me how people actually like my rantings and ravings about what should have been and what could have been. It truly make me feel that Serenity and I are loved.

The award yesterday came from my dear friend and someone I see as a sister, Antoinette "An" Evola. She calls Serenity her niece, as do I wither her daughter, the beautiful Princess Alyssa. NOT Angel Alyssa, Princess Alyssa. Alyssa truly deserves the name "Princess", because she IS a princess. ♥ Click for "Butterfly Kisses for Alyssa Marie"

The award on December 8th came from Emily Hughes, Jack's mama. Jack Everett Hughes is a gorgeous baby boy, born prematurely weighing in at 1lb 3oz and 11 inches long. ♥ Click for "Searching for Jack"

I would like to thank you ladies for thinking of me when you passed this award on. I am honored.
So I guess it is my turn to give a few honorable mentions.



The rules of this award are:
1. Link back to the person who gave it to you
2. Pass it on to five (or more) other blogs
3. Leave them a comment telling them about the award

I don't read very many blogs, so this is a little tough for me.. But here they are.

I'm not sure if this is against the rules, but I would like to RE-award this to..
  • Mrs Antoinette Evola at Butterfly Kisses to Alyssa Marie- I absolutely love what I have read of your blog. It is amazing. You are so passionate for you love for Alyssa, and Adrian and that is one of the many things I can relate to you on. We can laugh, and cry, scream or whatever else we need to, and never have to feel judged by one an other. Also, I love that every time I visit your blog "A Whole New World" from the Disney movie Aladdin is playing. It really takes me back, and I never realized how much I love that song and that movie and how much I miss being a kid, until the first time I went to your blog and heard that song playing. I think of you and Princess Alyssa every time I see something with butterflies on it or every time a Disney movie comes out of the vault, I REALLY want to buy them for you.. but then I think- you probably already have it. ;) I love you and My niece Alyssa, and I love your blog. ♥ 

The next one goes to.. 
  • Mrs Stacey Bogle at A Mother's Grieving Heart- You are quite possibly one of my best friends, and as much as you don't believe I do, I DO READ YOUR BLOG. Lol. I just can't comment sometimes out of lack of words. I love reading about Jaleel, Michaela, and Nick. You are the only person I know who can remember a poem off the top of her head. Not only do I love your blog, but I love the wonderful work that you have done through PAC (Parent's Against Co-Sleeping). You and Jaleel are saving lives.  I wish I could turn Serenity's death into something positive, like you have with Jaleel. No matter what Jason says.. You are kind of funny, I guess. LOL. No but seriously, we always have a good time when we talk. I really am glad I have the honor of being your friend. ♥
Last but certainly not least..
  • Mrs Katherine Eagerton at Ember's Ashes- We just recently met, and come to find out we live closer than most angel mom's do! Ember was born July 7th, 2010, at UAB (Birmingham).. and Serenity was born July 11th, 2010, at Citizen's BMC Talladega, and died at Trinity Medical Center (Birmingham). Katherine just recently started her blog "Ember's Ashes" in honor of her daughter, Ember Laura-Ellen Eagerton. We are closer than anyone I've ever met in our grief period, and I think we kind of "get" each other because of it. Thank you Katherine for reaching out to me. Maybe one day we can meet in person, and I look forward to seeing more of your blogs! ♥
Thank you ladies for being such a big part of my life, and having WONDERFUL blogs! I love you all! :)

Disney movies are my sanity, but the song from Aladdin has a whole story behind it. I even blogged about the words to that song having a different meaning to me. Its like I imagine Alyssa soaring through the sky on this magic carpet, and we BOTH are experiencing a whole new world....I also have a friend Kelley whose son Jackson and Alyssa are Heaven Boyfriend and Girlfriend (we said this a few times and it just clicked) I blogged about this as well...that post brings so much love n tears to my eyes I think its called "Marvelous Monday for Love"...read it...Its one of my Favorites!!

thank you for re-gifting this gift =P...You and I make GOOD Fb friends..The Hick Accent and The NY accent chick LOL...we are a skit on Saturday Night Live
