Bloggy Awards and ExPat articles

Thanks a million to everyone who commented on my post from yesterday about teacher preparation. I am still interested in hearing about other experiences in teacher prep programs, so if you haven't commented yet you still can ====> click here.

Also a big thanks to Nicolasa from Low Expectations for bestowing upon me two fantastic bloggy awards. I am particularly excited about the first one because I have never seen it before.

This award goes to Loyal Bloggy Followers

I would like to pass this award to:

Kelly @ She Wears a Red Sox Cap

and

Jen @ Following the Footsteps

They were two of my very first followers and I can always count on great comments from them both. If you are a loyal follower of Sneaker Teacher too, go ahead and grab the award for yourself as well! Leave me a comment telling me what parts of Sneaker Teacher you like and feel free to leave comment love as often as you like so I know you are following! :0)

The rules for accepting the Your Blog is Fabulous Award are to list 5 things that you are obsessed with and pass the award to 5 blogs that are **fabulous**

oBsEsSiOnS!!

1. I would have to say I am pretty obsessed with blogging. The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is check to see if I have gotten any comments. Since Germany is so far ahead of the US, I usually get comments while I am sleeping, so it's fun to wake up and receive some love <3.

2. amazon.de and Amazon Prime shipping. I have ordered a LOT of books since we moved here because I need textbooks for my classes. With a free trial of Amazon Prime, I get next day shipping for FREE.

3. Nutella-it's amazing.

4. Baking-I have not baked in months because it has been months since I have had an oven! I love making treats like decorated sugar cookies, banana bread with cream cheese frosting, cupcakes, birthday cakes, and most of all cake balls. If you don't know what a cake ball is please visit www.bakerella.com.

I also love eating said treats.

5. SKYPE- I heart skype for so many reasons. I love to see my mom's face. I love to see my bff Cristina's face. I love to participate in doctoral classes in Portland when I am sitting in my office in Germany. Technology is SO cool!

I would also like to pass this award to:

Peanut Butter & Jenny- a peanut butter lover & future teacher (girl after my own heart!)

All the Weigh- a girl on a weight loss journey lovin' life in NYC

{ae Filkins}- what would we do without Friend Makin' Mondays?

Theta Mom- this cool mama tried out for the Radio City Rockettes

Windowboxes and Weissbier- a fellow Expat living in Germany

Mixing it up a little...did you notice not all of these bloggers are teachers this time???

Last but not least, I am very excited because I submitted a piece to an online Expat forum and I just found out it was published with October's articles!
