uber amazing blogs

A long while back Thanksgivingmom acknowledged my blog with an Uber Amazing Blog award. (Thanks TG!). Before I followed the rules and passed on the acknowledgement I wanted to spend a bit more time in the blogging world to become more familiar with the blogs I was reading. But now it’s time to make mention of some uber amazing blogs.

Here are the official rules: The “uber amazing blog” is a blog award given to sites who...
- inspire you

- make you smile and laugh

- or maybe give you amazing information

- a great read

- has an amazing design

- and any other reason you can think of that makes them uber amazing!

The rules of the award are:
1. Put the logo on your blog or post

2. Nominate at least five blogs (can be more) that are uber amazing

3. Let them know that they have received this uber amazing award by commenting on their blog

4. Share the love by linking to this post and the person you received the award from

So in no particular order, I nominate...

Heather at Production Not Reproduction – This is one of the first adoption related blogs I came across while doing a search for information, and is definitely one of my favorites. I have learned much from Heather and her thoughtful approach to adoptive parenting.

Mei-Ling at A Shadow Between Two Worlds – Reading Mei-Ling’s posts about transracial adoption has been informative and stretching. I appreciate her honesty and realness in what she is going through and how adoption has impacted her life.

Paula at Heart, Mind and Seoul – I have read through most of Paula’s archives which are rich with personal and honest reflections that are helpful to those of us who are navigating the world of transracial adoption. Paula was away from the blogging world for a bit but I’m so glad she’s back!

Thanksgivingmom at I Should Really Be Working – When putting this list together I realized it wasn’t complete without her. I know I should likely pass the award on to someone else but I can’t help but acknowledge TG. I love and appreciate her honest musings about life as a firstmom. I have become much more aware of the birthparent perspective which is so valuable to me. Too often this voice is shut out in adoption.

I think I will be a better adoptive mom because of all of you! Thanks for speaking so passionately and honestly from your side of the triad and helping to inform the others.

I do read other non-adoption blogs too, so the uber amazing blog award also goes to:

Patty at pattycake.ca – I typically follow a strict diet regime (no gluten, dairy, or refined sugar) and finding Patty’s blog was a huge relief and provided a big breath of fresh air to my baking. She’s got oodles of healthy baking recipes so even if you eat all foods (lucky you!) but want to take a crack at using very healthy ingredients etc. you’ll find some yummy stuff on her site. This is one of my favorites!

To all my Uber Amazing Blog Award recipients...keep those posts coming!
