Blog Award

I was given this One Lovely Blog Award by Paige. Thanks Paige! You are supposed to list 7 random things about yourself and then list 15 bloggers that you enjoy.

Here are my 7 random facts:

1. I. like. coffee.
2. I believe there is a right and wrong way to load the dishwasher.
3. I really dislike Winter, and am not looking forward to Summer ending.
4. I don't like wearing shoes. The best ones I've found are: Chacos. I own 2 pairs that I got on ebay. They are the best shoes I have worn, and I have tried a bunch! I still like my flip flops, but these are extremely comfortable. I never wear shoes at home....... but have found myself wearing them inside! :)
5. I love getting up early, when the house is quiet and its still dark outside.
6. I like gardening, and am looking forward to putting in a Fall garden soon.
7. I like learning about the human body, herbs, essential oils and natural/alternative healing. Some of the books by my bed right now are: Dr. Mom by Sandra Livingston Ellis, Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss and 
The Essential Oils Desk Reference. I am praying about doing Basic EMT next semester.


15 blogs I enjoy reading are:
