Kreativ Blogger Award….aww shucks, thanks!

November 19, 2008 · Filed Under · 3 Comments 

I started this here blog a little over a year ago and one of my first readers was Melanie at Thrifty and Creative. Not sure if she is just slow, or has some major problems, but she actually enjoyed what I wrote! :-) Now she has awarded me with the Kreativ Blogger Award. I guess mis-spelling the word creative is kreativ? Or perhaps this is a Russian award. Whatever the case, I am honored.

But anyways, I guess the deal with this award is you have to list 6 things you are grateful for and then pass the award on to 6 other Kreativ bloggers. With Thanksgiving next week, I have been thinking a lot about the things in my life I am very grateful for. So here goes nothin’.

  1. Healthy Kids – Enough said.
  2. Empty Fast Lanes – A few weeks ago I was driving on the freeway at about 55 mph and hydroplaned across the fast lane and totaled the car against the guard rail. My 7 year old son was in the backseat and we both escaped uninjured. We were very lucky the fast lane was unoccupied. Someone was looking out for us on that rainy Saturday afternoon.
  3. Good Friends – One of my favorite quotes is from Thomas Jefferson, “But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine.”
  4. My Wife – Next April it will be 10 years married. ”My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.” I hear ya Winston, boy do I hear ya!
  5. My Job - I am very grateful that Rather-Be-Shopping.com has turned into a full time career for me. I can honestly say that I wake up every morning and look forward to going to work and the new challenges that each day brings.
  6. Firewood and Coffee - I am grateful for the little things in life. The ability to start a fire on a cold fall morning with firewood I cut myself. What’s better? The smell of percolating coffee in the air while I do it!

Now on to the fun part, picking 6 Kreativ bloggers to pass this along to. Many very creative bloggers in my reader. But since I can only pick 6…..

  • Frugal Dad – A very interesting and prolific writer. I always leave his blog smarter than when I arrived.
  • Gather Little by Little – Another one of my favorite reads. Plus I find it amazing he has time to work full time, blog everyday, and raise 6 children! I think he needs a show on TLC or something.
  • Mommy Snacks – I love to keep informed about great deals and Andrea’s blog is the place to go!
  • Stretching A Buck – The name of Marcy’s blog is enough said for this frugal guy. Go check it out!
  • Sisterly Savings – I have been a contributor on Jennifer’s blog for quite some time now and she is a great blogging buddy!
  • The Bargain Hunter- Been a fan of Julia’s blog for sometime now and it has saved me money on more that one occasion. Very kreativ writer as well.

    You crack me up! I don’t know why the award is spelled that way! :-) I am just passing it along to the well-deserved! Hard to believe your blog is just a little over a year old! WOW! That is impressive!

    That’s a nice list. Isn’t it great how the things that make us happiest don’t a lot or even any money?
