The Egel Nest Awards...


The Nap Warden recently deemed the Egel Nest as a recipient of the prestigious, "Out of This World" blog award. As you can see, I am proudly displaying my award in the sidebar to the right! Therefore, as a token of other people's generosity, I would like to bestow upon the following blogs my brand spanking new Egel Nest Award for Blog Excellence (or eggscellence I suppose).

The award looks like this!


Feel free to proudly display the Egel Nest Award on your blog and please pass it along to others even...the more generosity and kindness, the better!

Here are the first recipients that have been Egel Nest tested and approved in random order:

What Works for Us - A great and informative guide to living and always good for stories and laughs.

The Pink Dot - Kassi is one of the best pure writers in my daily reads. I enjoy her introspective writings and especially her blogs about kids.

Sangroncito's World - He documents life in Brazil and writes so well. Another one of my Mom's favorites.

Poop and Boogies - William has been entertaining me for years with his great family stories.

The Queen of Napville - Anyone who can nap and blog has my admiration. Always a fun read.

Tchotchkes - Mary Bishop constantly has me laughing with her rants and witty charm. My mom reads this blog a lot.

Patti Cake Land - She likes auto racing and kids...enough said!

A New Dawn - Formerly Law Brat, this girl has had a rough year (or two) but her blogs still are well written and inspiring.

The Queen of Dallas - Kami, or as I lovingly refer to her as Six, is irreverent and fun...and I enjoy her blog daily.

The Ignoble Experiment - Sometimes Irina writes miles above my head, but I always respect her intellect and insight on a variety of issues.

The Lewis Crew - Yes, they are my cousins...but they just had a baby and just started their blog...go show them some love.

Katie - A relatively new read for me...but her stories are entertaining. Check her blog out!

Where the Bees Are - Flip Flop Goddess has a mouth like a sailor, or a truck driver...or whoever swears a lot...but her stories about life, kids, karaoke and Def Leppard always give me a giggle.

And last but certainly not least, The Nap Warden - I love her SAHM chronicles!

A special shout out to my Mom's store...she gets an award just for being my mom! If you need some lingerie...check out her store... Firm Foundations Ltd.

Everyone on my blogroll deserves and can post this award...but I could not highlight everyone.

Enjoy your Egel Nest awards...and pass them along!

More will be handed out in the future as I discover new and interesting blogs!

Hi Son!

What a great list of bloggers you have chosen to reward!!

I have been reading all of them that you listed, and each one has great merit!! Price, Waterhouse couldn't have presented the winners as nicely!

Of course, I think YOURS is the very best, but what else would a Mom think? Tee hee!

Thanks for mentioning my store....maybe someone will want to do a little shopping along the way!!

Love you, and hope you feel all better soon!!
Mom

Blog "eggscellence"...I am honored! What can I say, I left my speech in the limo, but I would just like to thank everyone for making this award possible! Husband for reading books while I blog, The Little Man and Miss Peach for not writing on the walls while mommy blogs, I know I am forgetting so many people...Oh no, the music is going...Thank you all so much, really...Thank you!

Flip Flop Goddess said...

how kind..

um, do I really have a mouth like a truck driver?

Rightious!!!

Kami said...

Aw, your mom is so sweet. Of COURSE her son's is the best!

Thanks, man!!!!

Mom said...

Hi Flip Flop!

I know Bradley VERY well, and I can tell you this........the "truck driver" comment was made with love in his heart! I know he thinks you are GREAT!!! So, please.....don't think twice about that!!

He is nothing, if not a gentleman!!

Hope your weekend is going well!!!

Love,
Mom

Bradley Egel said...

Flip Flop Goddess and Mom - (There are two names I never thought I would put in the same sentence)

Yes...it was meant lovingly...and mom...no need to worry...she thought it was a "righteous" compliment :)

I just nominated myself for some blogger choice awards (see sidebar)...I actually went to vote for Six's blog and said, "Hey...why shouldn't I have fun with this...so go vote for me if you want to...lol" I won't win anything...but shameless self promotion is not beneath me!

he he!

Thanks for creating this award and passing it on! Nice to have you visit my blog, too!

ornery's wife of Miller Manor said...

Hi! What Works for Mom tagged me for the Egel award but I can't seem to get it to post on my blog. When I went to the picture on your blog where it originated and tried to copy the url to my blogger elements, it didn't recognize it as a valid url. I'd love to put it on my sidebar, but am not savvy enough to figure this out. Could you help me? Please?? :-)
