Holy Blog Hits Batman


Every morning when I pull up my little blog I check to see how many hits it got the previous day. Most days I can actual put names to the hit numbers since it is usually around 15. I know that isn't huge, but it is more than just my mom reading so that makes me feel good. This morning when I checked, it said that I had 106 hits. What?? Even when I have participated in blog "parties", I never got that kind of traffic. What I find even more funny was that yesterday's post wasn't anything exciting. The only thing I can think of is that yesterday when I googled "Ann Lander's Lemon Meringue Pie" my post about it came up second on the list. I thought that was pretty cool and maybe that is were they came from. I doubt my blog will ever have the numbers of "The Nester" or "Pioneer Woman", but for the faithful few who keep tabs on me, I would just like to say a great big THANK YOU!! I feel like I have made friends all over the world. Today marks my 200th post so I think it is fitting to thank everyone who has keept me going.
So from my little blog to yours, thanks and Happy Friday!!
PS
For those of you who are curious as to how my subbing in Kindergarten went, I had a student throw a chair and scream at the TOP of his lungs how mean I was (this was in the first 15 minutes). The good news was by the end of the day we were buddies. Hopefully, I will be able to sub in there again. Ahhh, teaching. Never a dull moment :0)

Okay, I just found an old draft that has messed up my post numbers so I'm really sitting at 199 (insert a BIG eyeroll) Doesn't matter, you guys are still the best :0)

Thanks, Marie !!


So I've just be given my first blog award. How fun is that?? I received it from Marie over at A Little Bit of Country on the Shore. She is so sweet and is always stopping by the blog to say hi. I guess she enjoys it because the has given me the Arte Y Pico Award. I'm so excited. I have throughly enjoyed my blogging adventures and getting to "meet" women from all over the world has just been icing on the cake. It is one thing to take a peek at someone's life, but being able to actually connect with them is truly amazing. So now I get to pass along this along to blogs that I enjoy and inspire me.

Here are the Arte Y Pico Award rules :

1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award through creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter of language.

2. Each award should have the name of the author with a link to their blog.

3. Award winners have to post the award with the name and link to the blog of the person who gave them the award.

4. Please include a link to the “Arte Y Pico” blog so that everyone will know where the award came from.

So here are my five:
Kate @ Our Red House
Jenny @ Bits and Pieces
Laura @ WSU Laura
Timi @ A Girl Named Timi

Go check them out :0)
