Spread the Love

You teachers out there are nodding your heads knowingly, aren't you? For those of you not in the know, "Caught Being Good" is a positive reinforcement tool widely used by teachers to reward good behavior in their students. Elle brought home a "Caught Being Good" pencil a couple of weeks ago and you know what? I like the concept. So, I decided February is going to be "Caught Being Good" month.

Please do play along:

1. Choose 3 people you want to reward for their good bloggy behavior.

2. Link them in a post along with the "Caught Being Good" sticker. (right-click on it and then click on "save picture as")

3. Let them know they've been "Caught Being Good" and encourage them to pay it forward.

That's it! You don't have to be nominated to nominate someone but I'll go ahead and get the ball rolling by rewarding the following writers:

1. Amy from Crunchy Domestic Goddess for her consistently thoughtful-yet-not-preachy prose on issues that truly matter.

2. Michelle at Bleeding Espresso for consistently being such an interesting, informative and entertaining read.

3. Mary Mia at Do They Have Salsa in China? for sharing her gorgeous girls' daily antics via wonderful pictures and hilarious (and relevant!) parenting stories. She is full of spunk and an all-around lovely read.

Go forth now, my darlings, spread the love! And have yourselves a very Happy February.

Nino I am so, so, so very honored to receive this award from you. Thank you! You know that you're one of my very favorite bloggers (or at least you should!); in fact, I just mentioned you in an interview for She Who Blogs as one of my inspirations--I'll be sure to let you know when it appears on a webpage near you ;)

Thanks again, and have a great weekend!
