I have been remiss.
It has been my great honor to receive many wonderful blog awards [To see the full list except for one that I seem to have lost that had a cute animated smiley thing (if you gave me that lovely smiley award please tell me because I’ve looked everywhere and can not find it, but I digress) please click on AWARDS]. And what have I done to show my appreciation? Nothing, nada, zilch, zippo.
I really do enjoy getting awards. Who doesn’t enjoy being appreciated? It’s just that I am a bit of a rebel. Hard to believe, but true. Something in me resists following the rules so I’ve broken all of them. I am an artist, I need to be free; that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
What I have done is absorb all the wonderful mojo of these awards and turned them into another award that I will distribute from time to time. I will give this award to blogs that I truly love in hopes that you will visit them and love them to.
So without further ado, I give you the Mami Loves Me and You Should Too Award!
Single Mama NYC: Some day I’m going to write a post about how much we have in common. I’ll give you a teaser: not only do we share the same birthday, our children share the same birthday too. Crazy!
The Fifty Factor: What is there not to like about Joanna? Nothing.
latinmomof4punks: I love visiting her on Mondays for Latinmom’s Loco Lunes.
No excuse, No explanation..:Steven does Friday Phone Call’s and I am dying to act them out.
I have many, many more blogs that I want to give this award to, but I will only give this award to a few blogs at a time because I want you to take a few moments to visit the ones that are new to you; they are wonderful, you will like them too.
I only read Mommakin out of those, so I will have to check the others out!
off to check them out… except mommakin, I'm already her fan 😉
She likes me! She really likes me!
Thanks, Mami, I really like you, too!
Congratulations and GOD BLESS!
Congrats on all your awards! It's hard to except and pass on too many great blogs. Have a wonderful Monday!
I like the award. I'll check out these other bloggers.
LOVE the award!!! so cool. And I will be looking forward to checking out the ones on your list I don't know.
I only knew two out of these. I have to check out the others.
Thank you Unknown Mami for the recommendations. If you love them, then they must be lovable. I'll check them out.
I like the rebel in you, and LOVE your new award with it's wonderful “rules” !!! Congrats on your awards.
Such a great idea to come up with your own award to recognize those in blogland that you like. I know I am always up for new recommendations. Thanks!

That award is as adorable as you are.
That award is as cute as you are.
Very cool that you created an award to pass around. I love the idea. Hey did you create your own nav bar? I want to know how to do that. I tried to make one but instead of going across it went down. Annoying. lol
What a cool name for an award! Gonna check em out now.
Always good to give a shout out to friends. I don't understand the awards with rules attached. Your no rules rule. Your 'Sundays in my city' are award worthy.
I like the flashing lettering on the button – good job
We'll see if my computer lets me comment here today. It's been hating on my Unknown Mami for some reason!
Awwwww, Gracias Amiga for the Award. Thanx for being my FAITHFUL reader on Monday's, for my “LATIN MOMS LOCO LUNES”. xoxo Thanx Mami, and I LOVE you tambien!! ~Amor, Familia Y Cultura~ Betty
Congrats to the winners and to you!
I like YOU, I really, really like YOU too!
Thanks for the great award. I'm flattered.

Sorry about the commenting issues. It's probably because I switched to Disqus. I hope it stops happening because you know I'm a comment whore. I was so happy to see it was your SITs day and birthday! I keep sending you positive orange thoughts.
You knew that before the award!
Great award! Thanks for highlighting these sites.
I love Joanna and will check out some of the others you mention.
Lisa,
I tried a bunch of different instructions for creating the nav bar and these are the ones that worked the best for me:

I love that you're a rule breaker. My kinda gal!
Thanks for sharing these blogs. I love finding new, great reads!
And congrats on YOUR awards!
i hear ya girl – i have an awards draft post ongoing at all times so i don't forget anyone – congrats on your awards and thanks for the new peeps to check out
We agree, Mommakin rocks! Can't wait to check out the other blogs, like your approach to the awards. (I never know what to do with them, either, but I have no idea how to create a cute button like you do!)
I think it's so great that you created your own award. I've been thinking of creating one myself. Very cool! Thanks for showing my boy some love on my blog, it was very nice of you! 😀
Congrats on your awards!
You are so loved! (And your award is too cute.)
that is such a cute badge! I'll be sure to check them all out 🙂
I love it! Now I'll have to check out some new (to me) bloggers. If Mami says so, then I must obey 😀
I have the same rebel streak you do…probably why I like you so much! 😉
Love the award you created – I'm off to check out the ones I'm unfamiliar with! 🙂
Thanx for the comment! My Mom is “BAD”, but GOOD. :0) ~Amor, Familia Y Cultura~ Betty
Congrats on the awards!
Oh mami, you like me, you really like me!
I love this award, and as soon as my computer is back and running I will post it with pride!
about 2 and 1/2 weeks left, and I will be back full force;)
until then, much love
Steven Anthony
Thanks for these, now following them all! And thanks for dropping by and commenting.
How very very cool of you. What a terrific way to share your favorites. I cannot beleive you and another share a birthday as do your children. I might have to stop by that one first. Thanks again Mami. Also, thanks for the advice on my mom. This new comment form rocks too!
Hi Mami, I finally posted that crockpot recipe. Come check it out. Love the award, something to aspire to 😉 It's raining cats and dogs here in So. Monterey County. What's it like in the San Fran area? Have a great day.
We have so many things in common that if we lived in alternate Universes, we'd BE each other. It's unbelievable.
Thanks for the award, Hermana! Of course, being so much alike I'm quite the rebel myself, so let's see what I do with your award. I'm thinking maybe I'll go to the t-shirt shop and have a shirt silk-screened with the award on it…
I do something like this too on my blog, and funny enough for the same reason you are!! LOL. Mine is the Golden Nut award and like yours no strings attached!
Oh My God! I don't follow any of these blogs! What's wrong with me? I am off to check them out right now!

Too cool! Congrats to those awarded. Since they are Mami approved and thus cool, I MUST go check them out now. 🙂
Congrats on your awards 🙂
