There may be times everything seems so stressful and you want to give up. There are also times you see the light and something comes along pushing you to keep going. For me, this light was winning the Versatile Blogger Award.

This award is a way for bloggers to recognize one another for the awesomeness we all bring to the blogging world. It also helps us get to know each other (totally my own opinion on this).

Thank you so much, Anita Faulkner, at Brazen Mummy Writes, for the nomination! Anita is a hilarious mom writing about her take on mommyhood. I find her writing very comical and easy to relate to. I urge you to check out her site at https://brazenmummywrites.co.uk

Rules, rules, rules

• If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger Award
• Thank the person who gave you the award
• Include a link to their blog
• Select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly
• Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award
• Tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself

Here are seven truths I must confess…

1. I have a potty mouth, or the vocabulary of a well educated sailor, however you want to look at it. It’s true, I use a lot of swear words. To me, they seem more descriptive and get the point across much easier. Some times “fiddlesticks” or “shucks” just won’t cover it.

2. I get physically antsy while I try to keep my mouth shut when something really needs to be said. I have also been told my face will say what my mouth won’t if I am caught off guard. Removing myself from the situation is usually the best approach.

3. Essential oils are a guilty pleasure I enjoy learning about. I prefer to go the natural approach when possible. I try to limit the chemicals as much as I can but I’m only human. And, let’s face it, sometimes a situation calls for a little bit of junk food and such.

4. I really hate being one of the herd. I like doing things my own way and blazing my own trail. I usually embark on a new adventure following the well-beaten path, but it doesn’t take long for me to go astray. And I wonder where my unicorn daughter gets it from.

5. I have been in a relationship with the father of my children for 10 years and counting. I really have no desire for marriage…this has nothing to do with my relationship, by the way. If I did get married, it most certainly wouldn’t be to satisfy me. I guess I’m really not one of the herd.

6. I hate sweet and savory! No craisins or raisins should touch a salad or anything like it. I can’t do pineapple on pizza. Meats especially should not be sweet. I can’t stand sweet and sour anything, and there is no way I will ever try applesauce or pears on pork chops…I can’t even believe this is a thing! The only exception is bacon and ham. You’re probably wondering, “why not pork in general?” I’m complicated like that, that’s why.

7. Most days I am powered by sarcasm, caffeine, and swear words.
