Two Awards!

I've been given two awards for this little blog what I write. The first is Honest Scrap from One Hit Wonder at (Mis)conceptions.


And the second is Kreativ Blogger from Stephanie at Through The Eyes of a Stranger.


Thank you so much fellow-blogging ladies! I really appreciate them, yay for blog awards! But it's not over. No, no. I don't just get to put these lovely awards on my blog, I get to pass them on too! But first I have some other requirements I need to fulfill. 

So here are the Honest Scrap stipulations:

1) Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design

2) Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they have won the "Honest Scrap" award.

3) List at least 10 honest things about yourself.

Here are the blogs I award with Honest Scrap. I chose these blogs because of their honest and courageous posts:


10 Honest Things About Me:

1. I have hairs that grow out of a mole on my chin. Ewww. It's supposed to be very lucky in Chinese culture but it's just plain gross in mine so I choose to pluck!

2. I hate cleaning. I'm very lazy when it comes to tidying-up but I swear my husband has OCD so I just leave him to it. 

3. I have a little pot-belly. No matter what I do it's always there. 

4. Honestly, I have crazy frizzy hair but I straighten it all the time, thank the Lord for straighteners.

5. I am a chocoholic and it's been two months since I began the chocolate embargo. I have broken the embargo a total of four times.

6. I am addicted to Lost, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty and now, the Wire.

7. When I was little I used to pee in pools (I don't anymore... only in the sea).

8. I am not putting in enough effort to learn Arabic.

9. Someone recently told me that there are 14 healthy newborn-babies in an orphanage in Marrakech who need parents. I cried. I know that one way or another we have to adopt. 

10. Although I have a smile on my face everyday, inside I feel like there's a dark cloud inside me that will never lift until I hold our baby (be it ours biologically or not) in my arms.

There you go, blogosphere. Honest and Scrappy.

For the Kreativ Blogger award the rules of acceptance are simple: list seven things you love and then pass the award to seven blogs you love.

I love...

1) my fantabulous Mr.T

2) freshly-baked chocolate brownies straight from the oven, still gooey in the middle

3) seeing my students' faces when they read a sentence for the first time

4) diving into a swimming pool on a very hot day

5) seeing snow on the Atlas mountains in Marrakech

6) cooking in the kitchen and listening to BBC radio 4 on the internet

7) dancing like a lunatic when I think no one is watching (I hope!)

Now here's for seven fantabulous blogs that I love:


It's Award season folks!
