There are two sets of rules for this award. So choose the one you like and go for it! 

Here's mine:

Three lovely things:
1. Homeschooling my children.
2. Watching my children flourish after graduating (at various ages/grades) from homeschooling.
3. Reading blogs from exceptionally creative homeschoolers!

I would like to award the following bloggers:
(Yeah, it's more than 3, but who's counting...)

Joyful Learner--for being incredibly creative and purposeful with her preschool daughter! I love her weekly math postings!

Around the World in 40 Weeks--because I drool every time I read about the cooking she does for her country studies and I love the idea of studying a country a week.

All Things Beautiful--for sharing so many fun, hands-on projects.

Jimmie's Collage--yeah, she's already well-known. But, man, do I love to read her stuff! She's the homeschool blogger I'd most like to meet...and a trip to China wouldn't be bad either! ;)

Stop by and visit these blogs. You'll be happy you did!
