Updating, connecting, and awarding

Updating...
I've been working hard on adding some new info on my blog, to make it a little more friendly for reviews and for others to contact me. I hope you like the changes.

Connecting...
Montessori Tidbits is now on FB and twitter! Please click on the buttons there on the side and follow me! (My twitter account is VERY new, so bear with me as I take the plunge with this social media network!)

... and awarding!
I've recently won several awards, so it is finally time to acknowledge them, give thanks to those referring blogs, and pass them on!

Sunrise Learning Lab created her own award, and had her kids draw the pictures for the award! This award has no stipulations -- only that you pass it on to your ALL-TIME favorite blogs!

I'm passing on this award to:

Leptir and Living Montessori Now both awarded me the "Me Encanta Tu Blog", which means "I love your blog!"
Here are (some of) the questions and my answers: (sorry, I deleted about 6 questions, as they really didn't have anything to do with my blog!)

1. Why did you create the blog?
As a former high school teacher (and current adjunct professor), I LOVE teaching! I honestly believe it is my God-given talent. I am absolutely LOVING teaching my own son, and I'm more than glad to share what we do, in hopes of inspiring others to try these things (or their own extensions!).

2. What kind of blogs do you follow?
Mostly homeschooling blogs -- Montessori, Christian, CM, and a few unschooling ones.

3. What countries would you like to go to?
I'd love to travel Internationally, which is something I haven't done before. However, I'd love to go to Germany, since my great-grandparents moved to the US from there when they were young.

I'd like to pass this award on to...


THANK YOU Leptir for another award!

Award Rules:
1. Thank the person who gave you this award
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the award along to 10 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason! (in no particular order…)
4. Contact the bloggers you’ve picked and let them know about the award.

7 things about myself:
1. I've been married to a wonderful man for the past 7 years.
2. After leaving for college, I moved back to the same town that I grew up in.
3. I go through obsessive cleaning moods... ignoring certain things for weeks, and then suddenly having to clean picky details in the room until they are spotless.
4. I named all of my pets (and son!), starting with the letter A -- Aaron, Amelia, Alpha (the Betta fish... get it?), and Aikman.
5. I'm an avid scrapbooker, and journal just about everything I can remember, for fear of someday having Alzheimers.
6. I was one of the loonies that went shopping on Black Friday!
7. I am organizationally challenged... I'm quite certain this will be a future post, as I can NEVER get everything organized and in a place!

And now passing it on....

You're the best! Thank you! Hey, and I tried to visit some of the other blogs and it seems like the links aren't working. It keeps saying Error 404. What is that? Is that my wacky computer or . . .?

Thanks again!!!
: )))))

Thanks for the nice award, Leann.
I added it to my blog sidebar and will answer the questions that go with the award this week and will do a link up to your blog this week, too.
Also, saw on FB that you are soon to be the birthday girl, so have a happy one, my bloggy friend.

Congratulations on your award - it is MUCH deserved! Thank you for passing it along to me, too, and for sharing a bit about yourself in the process - I am SO with you on #'s 3 & 5, and you made me giggle about your Alpha fish's name. :)

Hugs!
