Anita from A Wife, A Woman, A Mom gave me an award! She has proclaimed me queen. So this award and the crown I'm soon to get on my back tooth make it official.

Queen Duties are as follows:

1. List 7 things that make you awe-summm.
2. Pass the award onto 7 bloggers that you think are awe-summm.
3. Tag those bloggers to let them know they are now Queens too (and link back to the Queen who tagged you).

Seven things that make me awe-summm? I'm having a really hard time with this.
1. I love my kids. I'm not always the best mom but I try.
2. I'm creative
3. I'm a good listener
4. I'm a good cook, when I do cook
5. I like to try new experiences
6. I'm usually optimistic
and the grand finale.....
7. I like to help people

Now, I know I'm supposed to pass this tag and award on but I just hate doing that. As weird as it sounds I really don't like to leave people out. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. So, if you've read this far consider yourself tagged AND awarded!
