What a way to start off 2010!\u00c2\u00a0 Yesterday I received a very thoughtful blog award from Mari-Ann from Counting Coconuts<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 This is my first ever blog award, and I couldn’t be happier (or prouder).\u00c2\u00a0 Receiving this award really made my day, so thanks again Mari-Ann!<\/p>\n

I wanted to share the love.\u00c2\u00a0 I read so many blogs (confession: I’ve got around 300 in my Google Reader…something I’m planning on cutting down in 2010), but there are a handful that come to mind immediately as my favorite bloggers.\u00c2\u00a0 I look forward to reading their posts each day.\u00c2\u00a0 Some are new bloggers, some have been around for a few years and have large followings.\u00c2\u00a0 Most of these bloggers are also frequent commenters here and I have greatly enjoyed getting to know them better via comments and emails in addition to their blog posts.\u00c2\u00a0 They all bring a little sunshine to my day, so be sure to check out their blogs if you haven’t already!<\/p>\n
