How fun to receive this award! It’s a great chance for me to point out some other stylish bloggers who inspire me everyday. 
Thank you so much to Lori from Thrifty Decor Mom who thought enough of a thoughtful place to nominate me. This is what I have to do (and you too if I pass the award to you!) There are 4 duties to perform to accept the award: 1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award 2. Share 7 things about yourself 3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers 4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award These blogs are amazing. Since I only started blogging four months ago, I consider all of them to be recent finds! Go check them out if you haven’t already. Although since I rave about these girls constantly, you may have already checked them out! I tried to pick some blogs that are relatively new to the scene. 
Honey We’re Home hi Sugarplum! Look Linger Love Cottage and Vine Ten June Just Cook Already Name 5 Things Flip Flops & Pearls Kiki’s List Roost The Way We Are Southern Hospitality Michaela Noelle Danielle Oakey Interiors Seven things about me. Hmm!!! Let’s get started . . . 1. I am super cranky until I have had my morning coffee. My husband will attest to this! After the coffee, I am ready to conquer the day . . . and a project or two {also quite unfortunate for my hubby!} 2. I lived in London for a period of time during college and I secretly want to move back there some day. {not so secret anymore} 3. I taught kick boxing at one time. I gave it up for a long time after kiddos and am finally back into it again {need some toning over here, people!} 4. I am an appetizer {salty and savory} type of girl. I will pass on dessert {unless it’s a chocolate covered strawberry or crème Brule}. I could live off of brie and French bread. 5. Music favorites include Dave Matthews Band, Ray Lamontagne, Sugarland, Carrie Underwood and Usher {super random, I know}. 6. One of my favorite smells is that of my children after their bath. I love to snuggle and read with them. 7. I feel extremely blessed to have such an amazing family and group of friends. I don’t take them for granted and really try to relish the time spent with them. Thanks again for the fun award, Lori!

Courtney, great to know a little more about you. I am with you on Brie and French bread and it takes two cups of coffe in the morning before I can even form a word in my mouth, I will have to check out the blogs you listed. Kathysue

Congrats on the award and thanks for the shout out, I really appreciate it!
Congratulations on the award, Courtney! You deserve it. You are a sweet, gracious and extremely talented woman! It was fun learning a little more about you and I hope to get to know you better in 2011. I love your blog! I join you on the coffee thing. My husband knows not to start a conversation until I've had mine.
Thanks for the shout out, girlfriend! Love ya (: And your blog rocks!
Thanks for the blog lovin' today!! I loved reading a little bit about you…I am with you on the coffee! Can't even think about talking or doing anything until I have had my first sip!
Congrats! 🙂
I LOVE your blog! I also gave you the Stylish Blogger Award at It's a Lunsford Thing before I realized that you had already received it.
Thank you! Thank you! I agree with your other choices wholeheartedly:) And it's fun to learn those 7 things about you! I'm with you on #1, but #4, not so much- I have a Major sweet tooth. Although I could also eat Brie daily (and sometimes do)! p.s. one of my favorite workout songs lately is Usher's O.M.G. 🙂
